In a surprising turn of events, Emmerdale star Natalie J., known for her role as Amy Wyatt, has revealed that she has no plans to
marry her boyfriend, Ali Ward, after 14 years together. Despite the romantic allure of an onscreen wedding, Natalie’s offscreen
perspective is refreshingly practical.
Natalie shared her thoughts in a candid interview, explaining that she and Ali have different viewpoints on marriage. “I am a very practical person,” she stated, emphasizing her preference for a wedding dress that can be worn again rather than a traditional white gown. She reflected on the exorbitant costs associated with weddings, quipping that the money spent could likely fund a trip around the world twice.
Both Natalie and Ali agree on the financial implications of tying the knot, with Ali even jokingly suggesting that Natalie could propose to him. Just before filming her wedding scenes on Emmerdale, she humorously noted that Leap Day fell the day before, calling the tradition outdated. “Besides, I’m getting married to Emmerdale—one wedding is enough for now!” she remarked.
While her character, Amy, has experienced dramatic ups and downs, including a whirlwind marriage that ended in tragedy, Natalie’s real-life romance is much more stable. Though she typically keeps her personal life private, she occasionally shares glimpses of her relationship on social media, often posting joyful moments with Ali.
This summer, Natalie delighted fans with a series of cheerful photos, reminiscing about their lovely moments together. Her posts exude happiness, showcasing her bond with Ali and her fellow cast members, adding a personal touch to her public persona.
As Natalie continues to navigate her career and personal life, fans of Emmerdale will undoubtedly remain supportive of her choices. With no plans for marriage on the horizon, it seems that Natalie and Ali are content in their long-term partnership, proving that love doesn’t always require a traditional label. Stay tuned for more updates on Natalie and her journey!
