Emmerdale star James Moore has been married to his wife Sophie Edwards for a year.
Emmerdale‘s James Moore, who plays Ryan Stocks, has been showered with love from fans following his touching wedding anniversary announcement.
James became a household name when he joined the ITV soap in 2018 as Charity Dingle‘s (Emma Atkins) long-lost son, quickly becoming embroiled in the village’s drama.
He has since been involved in major storylines, including Charity’s court case against his wicked biological father, corrupt police officer Mark Bails (Rocky Marshall).
Fans have also loved Ryan’s relationship with Gail (Rachael Gill-Davis). Their romance began in their youth and they had a child together as teenagers, whom they gave up for adoption.
Gail and Ryan rekindled their relationship years later when Gail arrived in the village. However, they split again when Gail left the Dales earlier this year, reports the Daily Star.
Off-screen, actor James’ love life is far less tumultuous than his character’s. In reality, he is married to Sophie Edwards, whom he met on Hinge six and a half years ago.
James and special needs teacher Sophie exchanged vows last year at Cheltenham’s Manor by the Lake, surrounded by 100 friends, family and Emmerdale co-stars – including Emma Atkins (Charity Dingle), Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) and Dominic Brunt (Paddy Kirk).
And on Sunday (November 1), James took to Instagram to celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with Sophie, sharing a beautiful photo from their big day. In his heartfelt post, James wrote: “Can’t believe it’s been a year! Our first year as husband and wife has certainly been a year to remember.”
He continued: “I’m just glad that I’ve had you throughout it all, and I’m so grateful for all the love, support and care you’ve offered me this year. Here’s to many more.”
James’ followers were quick to shower the couple with well wishes. One fan exclaimed: “That’s gone so fast. Happy First Wedding Anniversary To You Both. A Lovely photo of you both.”
Another chimed in: “Congratulations.” A third commented: “Omg where’s time gone happy anniversary to you both hope you have a lovely day x.”
Yet another penned: “Happy Anniversary to you both.” Echoing their sentiments, a fifth added: “Happy 1st anniversary to you both and many more years to come.”
