Michael Parr confirms fresh relationship status as Ross Barton has fans swooning
The Ross Barton actor is ‘very happy’
Ross Barton has returned to Emmerdale and is already causing trouble, but thankfully for actor Michael Parr, and his relationship status, things are far more settled off-screen.
As Ross sets pulses racing with fans again during his shirtless appearances on-screen, it seems Michael is all loved-up in real life.
Michael Parr and his relationship with Emmerdale co-star Isabel Hodgins
During his initial stint playing Ross, Michael found love with his on-screen sister-in-law Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden.
The pair kept their relationship a secret but went Instagram official in 2015 on a romantic trip to Paris. However, as Hello reports, a year later, he was quizzed on his ‘secret’ girlfriend and if she would miss him, following his soap exit.
“Maybe. But I’m not saying who she is. It’s no one else’s business. Social media for relationships can be detrimental.
“We’re happy so we don’t need to show off. But if we were to break up it would only be worse when the papers get hold of it,” he told The Mirror.
In 2019, Michael and Isabel split after three years of dating. A source at the time told The Sun: “They drifted apart and felt it was better to be mates.
“He has been throwing himself into his social life and has just been on a lads’ hol and she is focusing on work, they’re both young and want to follow their dreams.”
Emmerdale return for Ross Barton
As he returns to Emmerdale, Mike has certainly been a hit with fans all over again! His big entrance was as the Billy Fletcher’s boxing opponent and Mack was furious when he discovered Ross had brought his young son with Charity, Moses, to watch the fight.
As Mack whisked Moses away, Ross got distracted leaving Billy free to deal the final blow and win the match. Something which is set to have huge consequences for them both.
But fans aren’t bothered about the storyline as much as they are thrilled to have Ross back on screens again!

“I fancy Ross even more now he has come back as a total [bleep],” shared a second viewer.
Another agreed: “Bringing THE Ross Barton back was the best decision he is exactly what we needed thank you.”
“Ross, your hand in marriage please. I’ll lick every one of your wounds clean,” a fourth saucy social media user commented.
A fifth added: “Ross can bang on my door any time he likes.”
Emmerdale star Michael Parr confirms relationship status
Although Ross is well and truly single now he’s revealed he and Rebecca split up and she then died in a tragic incident during routine surgery, the same can’t be said for actor Michael.
He has revealed he is happily in a relationship, telling The Mirror in a recent interview: “I’m in a very happy relationship. She’s amazing and has been very supportive.”
Although Michael did not name his girlfriend in the chat, it is believed he’s in a relationship with Isabelle Du Plessis. The couple went public in a sweet Instagram post from July this year by posing during a holiday to Santorini.
