Emmerdale ‘s Max Parker and Kris Mochie, who play Luke and Lee Posner on the ITV soap have started dating off-camera, according to reports.
The pair have never shared a scene together as Kris’ character Lee was killed off after raping Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) before being killed by her brother Robert (Ryan Hawley).
According to the Sun, the pair only met on Kris’ last day of filming on the soap, but a romance has blossomed after a string of dates.
A source said: “They met on Kris’ last day filming and just hit it off.
“They were cast as brothers and are really alike and have been joking that casting did a great job.

“The boys kept in touch after Kris finished on the show but they’ve spent a lot of time together over summer.
“It’s early days but they’re really enjoying themselves and who knows what the future holds.”
Kris and Max sparked speculation that they were dating after sharing a video of themselves together whilst on top of a hill in the middle of a summer storm on social media.

The pair had to strip off after getting caught in the heavy storm, and used the opportunity to show off their muscles to their social media fans.
Whilst Kris’ stint on the soap was brief, after he was put into a coma by being attacked by Robert, Max is now a permanent character.
He has been having an on/off romancer with Lee’s rape victim Victoria, (Isabel Hodgins) who fell pregnant from the rape and had a baby son.
Luke declared he would be there for Victoria, and the pair quickly grew feelings for each other, but their relationship has been complicated.
After splitting earlier this year, an insider revealed that they will “back inside each other’s orbits” later this year.
Emmerdale continues on Monday at 7pm.
