EastEnders icon Shona McGarty revealed that she met her fiancé, David Bracken, while dating her co-star Max Bowden. The Walford couple had a brief romance, dating for six months from May to October 2022. Shona, 32, and Max, 29, grew close quickly, but their relationship ended shortly after Max became a father for the first time with his ex-girlfriend Roisin Buckle. Despite this past relationship, Shona has found happiness with David and is excited about their future together.

The BBC couple remained co-stars and friends after their separation, with Shona McGarty sharing her close bond with Max Bowden’s mum at the British Soap Awards last year. She expressed her fondness, saying, “It’s lovely to be here tonight because Max’s mum’s here, and I haven’t seen her for ages; I adore her.” This highlights the supportive relationships they’ve maintained despite their breakup.

Shona McGarty continued, “So it’s lovely to catch up with her.” Reflecting on her friendship with Max, she added, “We’re actually better than ever. It’s a friendship, and we’re in such a good place.” This shows how they’ve managed to maintain a positive relationship despite their past romance, highlighting the strong bond they share as co-stars.

Shona McGarty shared, “You take a risk and you do something, and it doesn’t work out, but that’s life; you’ve got to take that risk.” Fortunately, she found love again just a few months later when she started dating musician David Bracken in 2023. The TV favorite revealed that she met David while she was dating Max Bowden, explaining that the pair started talking a year before they became an official couple. This highlights her journey through relationships and her eventual happiness with David.

David shared, “So we met on TikTok two years ago. Well, I messaged. Took her eight months to reply.” Shona added, “We started talking for two years, getting to know each other.” This highlights their unique connection and the time they took to build a strong foundation before becoming an official couple. Their journey shows that sometimes good things take time!

Shona reminisced, “And on our first-year anniversary…” David chimed in, “I proposed,” to which Shona responded, “You did really well. It was beautiful.” However, the romantic gesture almost didn’t happen when the couple was interrupted by the police. This adds a humorous twist to their engagement story, making it even more memorable for them!

David recounted the moment, saying, “I went over to the police, who said, ‘Sorry, we are just closing up the park.’ I said, ‘Would you mind giving me five minutes as I am about to propose to my partner?’ He looked at his watch and said, ‘Of course, and best of luck.’

“So, I told Shona to go stand at the waterfall in the park. I then put on our favorite song and had a dance with her before getting down on one knee.” Shona added that David brought along a picnic for the special occasion and played her favorite song as he proposed, making the moment even more special and romantic.

Thankfully, everything went according to plan, and now the couple is focused on their future together. Their engagement marked a beautiful milestone in their relationship, and they are looking forward to what lies ahead as they continue to build their life together.
