Heartstopper Star Bradley Riches’ Engagement News
Bradley Riches, renowned for his role in the Heartstopper series, has taken to social media to share the joyous news of his engagement to theatre director Scott Johnston.
In a heartfelt post, the 22-year-old actor and Celebrity Big Brother alum revealed that Johnston proposed during their romantic getaway in Sorrento, Italy.
Accompanying the announcement were a series of tender photographs capturing the couple embracing within a heart-shaped formation of rose petals, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Italian coastline.
“Erm…YES,” exclaimed Riches, punctuating his caption with a heart emoji.
Reflecting on his profound connection with Johnston, Riches expressed gratitude for finding a partner who accepts him unconditionally, emphasizing the profound sense of love and security he feels in their relationship.
As he proudly displayed a stunning silver ring on his finger, Riches reaffirmed his boundless affection for Johnston.
The picturesque engagement scene bears resemblance to the romantic narratives depicted in Alice Oseman’s beloved Heartstopper comics, in which Riches portrayed the character James McEwan.
Unlike the fleeting romance of his on-screen counterpart, Riches and Johnston’s commitment signals a enduring union built on love and mutual understanding.
In a playful TikTok video, Riches revealed Johnston’s elaborate surprise, which involved a trip to Sorrento and a request for him to attire in all white—a gesture that left him pleasantly suspicious.
An outpouring of love and congratulations flooded in from Riches’ celebrity peers, including Celebrity Big Brother host AJ Odudu and Drag Race UK contestant Vanity Milan, among others.
Notably, David Potts, winner of Riches’ Celebrity Big Brother series, enthusiastically celebrated the news.
Heartstopper co-stars Corrina Brown, Bel Priestley, and Jack Barton also joined in expressing their heartfelt wishes for the newly-engaged couple.
Riches’ engagement marks yet another milestone in his eventful year, following his memorable stint on Celebrity Big Brother, during which he fearlessly shared his experiences as a queer and neurodivergent individual, earning admiration and acclaim for his authentic representation.
As Riches and Johnston embark on this new chapter together, their love story serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
