Happier times, Samia & Matt with baby Freya. |
Coronation Street star Samia Smith has filed for divorce from her husband Matt Smith after 5 years of marriage.
The actress, who plays Maria Connor in the soap, split from the property developer in January after rumours spread that she was dating new co-star Will Thorp, who plays her on-screen boyfriend Chris Gray.
In court documents Samia has cited "unreasonable beahaviour" as the reason for divorce. Sounds a bit dodge to me, that normally means uncontrollable temper or being extremely over protective.

Although it has never been stated that Samia left hubby Matt for Will, Matt himself is quoted as saying that the divorce is their fault:
"They have to live with what they've done. She's my wife. I love her and we've got a child. I'm just trying to get on with my life."The former couple have a 19-month-old daughter together named Freya. Meanwhile Matt has been spotted with Hayley Goodhead, the model who won Coleen Rooney's competition show 'Real Women'.
