Kelvin Fletcher on problem with ‘jealous’ wife Liz

A past interview has shed light on the early struggles of Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Eliza Marsland’s relationship – especially her jealousy over intimacy on the screen and growing fame.

The former Emmerdale The star is best known for playing smoldering farmer Andy Sugden.

However, he previously revealed that his wife finds it difficult to watch him act in romantic scenes. She reportedly admitted that her jealousy meant she often avoided soap.

Kelvin Fletcher on wife issues and ‘jealousy’

Actors and models – who will appear in new episodes of Fletcher’ Family Farm on Sunday – previously open until Sunrise about Eliza’s insecurities.

“I called him and said, ‘I kissed so-and-so today’ and made a joke about it,” he said in 2020.

“That’s how we deal with it. But Liz won’t watch the show because she’s too jealous. For me, it’s just a job.”

At the height of her Emmerdale fame, Eliza struggled to cope with the attention Kelvin received both on and off screen.

They temporarily split in 2010 because of that, according to reports.

At the time, a friend reportedly told The Sun: “Liz was always jealous of the attention Kelvin got. He was always stopped by girls wanting his autograph when he was out at night.

“Kelvin assured her that he had nothing to go on, but over the years it had taken a toll on him, and he decided he couldn’t continue to see her.”

Married with children Eliza and Kelvin

The couple later reconciled and have since built a solid life together.

They got married in 2015 and have raised four children – daughter Marnie, son Milo, and twins Mateusz and Maximus.

However, their relationship hit the headlines in 2020 when Eliza reportedly unfollowed Kelvin on Instagram after a late night drink with her Strictly Come Dancing 2019 partner Oti Mabuse.

Rumors of a breakup swirled, but sources quickly denied the speculation.

“Their marriage is fine,” the source confirmed. “Eliza was a little upset about his nights out and didn’t go with him that time because she was angry and didn’t want to see pictures of him taking care of the kids alone at home. But there’s nothing more to it than that.”

Eliza herself addressed the situation on Instagram.

In a social media post, she explained why she stopped wearing her wedding ring.

“The ring is heavy,” he quipped. “It only comes out under special circumstances! Oh, and it’s fake tan day. #nodramahere.”

Kelvin previously admitted that the pressure of fame has been challenging for both of them. However, he later admitted that they are “good now”.

Kelvin and Eliza’s relationship – complete with grandeur – now takes center stage in Fletcher’ Family Farm, where the pair portray rural family life.

Fletchers Family Farm airs on Sunday, December 22 from 11.3 on ITV1.
