Ryan split from actress Tina O'Brien in 2009 following a six year relationship. The pair share 10-year-old daughter Scarlett together.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Tina explained that they were on good terms following their break up: “It’s taken a lot of years and a lot of biting my tongue. Seriously, though, it’s mainly down to Adam and Ryan.”

She continued: “It helps that everyone has moved on and is in a happy place. Ryan is really happy and we are happy, so there aren’t any issues.

“For the sake of Scarlett, it has been well worth preserving [our relationship] and choosing our battles. It would be wrong not to [invite him]."
