RYAN Thomas and Lucy Meck looked downcast as they stepped out together for the first time since the NTAs drama.
Ryan, 38, who is best known for playing Jason Grimshaw on the ITV soap, was spotted embracing married Zaraah Abrahams at the National Television Awards.
Onlookers told The Sun Ryan and Zaraah, 35, spent time catching up at the NTAs before hugging at an after-party.
On Sunday, Ryan and fiancee Lucy, 31, stepped out for brunch with their children, Roman, two, and daughter Lilah, four months.
Former Towie star Lucy was seen pushing a double pram as they came out of a train station, while Ryan lagged behind looking at his phone.
The couple then walked along side by side but failed to crack a smile despite the family day out.
