Shona McGarty from EastEnders and her former co-star, Tony Discipline, were spotted getting cozy in recent photos. The duo, known for their roles in the BBC soap opera, sparked romance speculations with affectionate pictures showing Tony planting a kiss on Shona’s head.

Shona portrayed Whitney Dean on EastEnders from 2008 to 2024 and made a surprise return in 2026. Meanwhile, Tony played Tyler Moon from 2011 to 2013, and their characters briefly dated on the show, mirroring their rumored real-life relationship.

During a night out at Studio 228 in London, Shona looked delighted as Tony wrapped his arm around her and affectionately kissed her while she sported a New York Yankees cap.

In another image, Tony grinned as he embraced Shona from behind while she placed her hand over his. Their outfits were notably stylish, with Tony in all black attire and Shona donning denim shorts with red details, black knee-high boots, and a red top revealing a matching bralette.

This isn’t the first instance where the pair fueled dating rumors. They previously raised eyebrows by appearing close on the red carpet at the Women’s Football Awards.

Following the event, Shona shared a photo of them on Instagram with a caption praising the evening and celebrating women’s football progress, prompting many followers to speculate about their relationship status.

Shona, who was previously engaged to David Bracken until their breakup in November last year, addressed prior rumors of a romance with rapper Aitch during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, clarifying that they were just friends.

In an interview with The Sun, Aitch emphasized their friendship and shared a mutual bond over music pursuits. Despite the speculation, their connection remained platonic.
