Emily Atack, 35, has announced she is engaged to boyfriend Alistari Garner as she took to Instagram with a loved-up post on Friday
The actress has known her boyfriend Alistair for almost three decades as her mother is the sister of Alistair’s stepmother Jane Garner.
They were introduced after Emily’s aunt started dating Alistair’s father Stephen Garner in the early nighties before they got married in 1994.
She explained that they had hoped to have a family of their own after a year of dating and discovered her pregnancy in November 2023 when she realised she had missed a period.
She told The Times: ‘[Alistair] joked, “Let’s buy a pregnancy test then” We did and I was pregnant.
‘It was the happiest, most perfect day of my life. Not long afterwards, he packed all his stuff in a van in Manchester where he lived and arrived at my house.’
The actress explained that shortly after this, they bought a house together and Barney conveniently arrived the day after they finished unpacking.
