Ryan Thomas and Lucy Mecklenburgh didn’t appear to be entertaining any drama over the weekend as they enjoyed a wholesome day out with their children. 

The couple, who have been dating since 2017, have seen their relationship under the spotlight in recent days after Ryan was pictured hugging his former Coronation Street co-star Zaraah Abrahams, who has insisted it was friendly. 

However, Lucy, 31, and Ryan, 38, showed no signs of strain as they headed for Sunday lunch in east London with their children, son Roman, two, and daughter Lilah Rae, five months. 

Former Towie star Lucy kept her Instagram followers updated throughout the day with a series of stories, including sweet photos of her showering Roman and Lilah with kisses. 

‘Brunching with my babies,’ she captioned one photo before arriving at restaurant Mare Street Market. 

Lucy and Ryan couldn’t have looked more united as she filmed them both pushing their double pushchair.

Roman certainly enjoyed himself as he was seen eating a bagel before later getting stuck into vegan churros as a treat, and the smile on his face said it all.

Ryan, who is also father to daughter Scarlett from a previous relationship, shared a sweet father-son bonding moment with Roman as they had a go on the swings in a park.

The busy day eventually took its toll on the toddler who was filmed sleeping in the pram while his baby sister was wide awake staring back at her mum.

The family rounded off the day with a roast dinner and dessert platter of doughnuts glazed with cream and fruit. 

Clearly, Ryan and Lucy are not bothered about photos that have emerged of the former Celebrity Big Brother star and his ex-Corrie co-star Zaraah from the National Television Awards last Thursday. 

In the photos, Ryan is seen hugging Zaraah while standing in a foyer with his face close to her cheek. 

However, Zaraah has addressed the speculation with a rep telling The Sun on her behalf: ‘Zaraah and Ryan have been good mates for over 20 years and were just catching up as they haven’t seen each other for quite some time. It’s nothing more than that.’ 

Ryan and Lucy began dating in 2017 after meeting on reality show Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls. They got engaged in 2019 after he popped the question and welcomed son Roman in March 2020 while Lilah was born in May.
