Emmerdale Laura Norton declares love as she shares family snap from soap partner (2026)

The actress met her partner on the set of Emmerdale back in 2015

Emmerdale star Laura Norton declared love after her soap star partner Mark Jordon posted an adorable snap of their two children.

Actress Laura Norton joined the ITV soap in 2012 and took on the role of Kerry Wyatt. Her character left the Dales in 2022 to work on a cruise ship after struggling to cope the death of her partner Al Chapman. In real life, Laura took the 16-month absence for maternity leave.

She joined the soap as the estranged mother of Amy Wyatt who was later adopted by by Val and Eric Pollard. Fans will remember that Amy was one of the three confirmed deaths in the limo crash earlier this year.

Laura met her now fiancé Mark Jordon on the set of Emmerdale back in 2015, with the couple starting to date shortly after. Mark also starred on Emmerdale in the role of Daz Spencer before he left in 2019.

The couple share two children together, their son Jesse and daughter Ronnie. At the time of Ronnie's birth, Laura wrote: "She’s here!!!! We’ve baked another belta. This little superstar joined us on Mon 17th October. She’s dead clever and a tiny little bundle of joy and beauty."

Unfortunately, the pair have revealed that both of their children suffer from the same condition, Usher syndrome, which causes impairments to hearing and vision.

This means that those diagnosed will wear hearing aids for their whole life, as well as suffering from sight loss at a later point.

Speaking to HELLO!, Laura said: "My intuition told me there was a serious problem and I was in tears at the thought of it. Knowing that we'd passed this on to our son was heartbreaking."

She added: "To watch our little boy enjoy the world around him yet know so much will be taken from him, was painful."

On Thursday (3rd April) Laura added three love heart emojis to a post from Mark who shared a picture of their two children enjoying ice cream. He wrote: "A warm sunny day, a park and some ice cream . Life is good".

Since then, Laura shared a post dedicated to her husband's determination to find a cure for Usher syndrome, as she penned: "This amazing man, father, human being and real hero, (who HATES flying) would do anything for any of his children, and he is putting himself on the wing of a plane to raise much needed funds for @cureusher and donations will go directly to research for a cure for Vision loss.

"Beyond proud of you @markjordondad I know times are tight at the moment but anything no matter how small all adds up and makes a huge difference. Please help if you can. Thank you".

Fans were quick to show their support for the family, as @sue_susha999 wrote: "aww beautiful photo of both them you both should be proud of yourself .all hard work you do" and @bearcoat_ commented: "You and your husband are inspirational and I hope everyone can donate something to help in whatever way they can xx"
