Samia Smith & Freya: A Pretty Pair

English actress Samia Smith was snapped toting her 2-year-old daughter Freya onto the set of the ITV soap Coronation Street in Manchester, England on Monday (November 28).

The actress - who plays character Maria Connor on the program - made headlines early this year when she separated from her property developer husband Matthew Smith after six years of marriage and began dating her 34-year-old co-star Will Thorp within weeks of announcing the separation.

Interestingly enough, Will also ended his seven year marriage to wife Samantha - mother of his two children - before Christmas.

Although the couple claim to have left their respective spouses before they began dating, Matthew isn't buying it, stating,

"They have to live with what they have done."
