Actress Claire Sweeney, 53, was recently seen enjoying a sunny Barbados getaway with her eight-year-old son, Jaxon. The Coronation Street star looked radiant in a vibrant bikini as she relaxed on the beach and shared sweet moments on Instagram, including a boat trip with Jaxon hugging her tightly.
The holiday comes shortly after her amicable split from boxer Ricky Hatton, following an eight-month romance that began on ITV’s Dancing On Ice. Sweeney, who shares Jaxon with ex-partner Daniel Reilly, spoke positively about the breakup, saying, “We were friends, we dated, and now we’re friends again.” Sources say the split was due to lifestyle differences—
Sweeney focused on her acting career, while Hatton leads a more spontaneous life. Despite the end of their relationship, both have remained close. Now, Sweeney is embracing motherhood, her career, and moving forward with strength and grace.
