Eastenders star Shona McCarthy and musician David Bracken hint at engagement

EastEnders’ own Shona McGarty, known for her role as Whitney Dean, has set the rumour mill spinning with a Valentine’s Day post that hints at an engagement. Months after her split from co-star Max Bowden, Shona’s love life is under the spotlight again. This time with Irish musician David Bracken. The duo, making their romance public last October, seem to be hitting a new milestone.

In their latest social media display, Shona was spotted with a conspicuous ring on her left hand. This was not just any day; it was their first Valentine’s together. David’s heartwarming message alongside their photos did not miss the chance to praise Shona. He called her “the most beautiful amazing woman.”

Fans were quick to spot the ring, leading to speculation about an engagement. “Are u two engaged?” asked one, noting Shona’s stunning appearance in red. Another pointed out the unmistakable presence of the ring. Some wondered if mirror selfies might have caused a mix-up. However, sightings of Shona with the ring on her wedding finger have only added fuel to the fire.

This speculation comes after Shona and David recently collaborated on a music video, showcasing their artistic synergy. Shona’s personal life has been as dynamic as her soap career, marked by her recent split from Max Bowden, with whom she had a brief romance.

Shona’s departure from EastEnders, where she has portrayed Whitney Dean for over a decade, was a decision she described as difficult. Reflecting on her time on the show, she expressed gratitude for the challenging storylines and the opportunity to grow as an actor.
