Coronation Street’s Andy Whyment has been supported by his co-stars as he shared a relationship update. The soap star is renowned for his role as Kirk Sutherland on the Cobbles.<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old has played the character in Weatherfield since 2000. He has been a major part of some of the long-running soap’s most dramatic storylines<\/a> as he had a rollercoaster romance with Fiz Brown before he found love with Beth Tinker.<\/p>\n However, he was heartbroken last year when his onscreen wife, Beth, departed the show. Away from the screen<\/a>, the actor’s life is far less turbulent as he enjoys a happy family life with his wife Nichola.<\/p>\n They are the proud parents of two children and Andy shared a special update today. Taking to Instagram, Andy shared several snaps of him and his wife as they celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n The soap star captioned the post: “18 years married to @nicski31<\/a> Happy Anniversary babe Love You Forever xxx.” Andy’s Coronation Street<\/a> co-stars rushed to the comments to send their congratulations.<\/p>\n His on-screen wife Lisa George (Beth Tinker) <\/a>said: “Happy anniversary mate” while Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Windass, wrote: “Happy anniversary guys!” with a red love heart emoji.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Claire Sweeney (Cassie Plummer), Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs), Sally Dyvenor (Sally Metcalfe) and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) all wrote: “Happy Anniversary.” Former Coronation Street actress<\/a> Kym Marsh also added: “Ahh happy anniversary you two” with a red love heart emoji.”<\/p>\n The happy couple have been married since 2007 and share two children named Thomas and Hollie. Andy swooned over his wife in an interview with OK! Magazine<\/a> in 2017 as he said he is a lucky man.<\/p>\n He said: “I\u2019ve been punching above my weight for years \u2013 she\u2019s gorgeous! I\u2019m a very lucky bloke. We\u2019ve been together 14 years and we just don\u2019t argue. We get on so well.”<\/p>\n Kirk has recently been at the centre of a major storyline as Beth’s son Craig (Colson Smith) was killed by newcomer Mick Michaelis<\/a> (Joe Layton). Andy took to Instagram to wish Colson good luck as he exited the soap.<\/p>\n Andy wrote: “Took this picture just after we\u2019d filmed the scene when Craig passed away, you\u2019ve been amazing @colsonjsmith<\/a> and should be very proud of what you\u2019ve achieved on @coronationstreet<\/a>. You will be missed.”<\/p>\n Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Andy](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1_LEC_RPAT_KirkSutherland_17062025.jpg\")
