In a surprising revelation, Natalie J Robb, known for her role as Amy Wyatt on Emmerdale, has confirmed that she has no plans
to marry her long-term boyfriend, Ali Ward, after 14 years together. Despite portraying a wedding on-screen, Natalie shared her
practical views on marriage in an interview with The Mirror.
Natalie emphasized that she and Ali have different ideas about tying the knot. “I am a very practical person,” she said, explaining that if she were to get married, it wouldn’t involve a traditional white wedding dress. She humorously noted the exorbitant costs associated with weddings, suggesting that the money spent could “probably go around the world twice.”
Both Natalie and Ali seem to be on the same page regarding wedding expenses. In a light-hearted moment, she joked about the idea of proposing to him, especially since her character’s wedding scenes were being filmed around the same time as Leap Day—a tradition that she described as “outdated.”
While her character Amy experienced a tumultuous wedding storyline, including a brief marriage marred by tragedy, Natalie’s real life is far less chaotic. She typically keeps her personal life private but occasionally shares glimpses of her relationship on social media. Recently, she posted cheerful summer snapshots with Ali, celebrating their time together with friends from the Emmerdale cast.
As the actress enjoys her relationship outside the limelight, it’s clear that her focus remains on what makes her happy, rather than conforming to traditional expectations of marriage. Fans can continue to follow her journey both on and off the screen as she navigates her role in Emmerdale and her life with Ali.
