EastEnders’ Shona McGarty can’t keep her hands off beau David Bracken as she continues to flash a ring on her left hand amid engagement rumours
She recently sparked rumors she’s engaged to her new boyfriend David Bracken by flashing a ring on her left hand – just weeks after confirming their relationship.
And EastEnders star Shona McGarty couldn’t keep her hands off her rumored fiance as they stepped out together for a meal in North London on Tuesday night – where she wore the jewelery again.
It’s the second time the Whitney Dean actress, 31, has been seen in public with musician David as they kissed and hugged after dining at a Greek restaurant with her mother.
Guitarist David is one half of Irish guitar duo Blessed, who perform regularly in their home country and have more than 18,000 Instagram followers.
During the outing, the ring was seen on her left hand again, after first flashing it earlier this week in photos obtained by The sun when she attended her sister’s wedding.

While out and about, Shona wore a long gray coat and brown suede boots and had sunglasses on her head.
Next to her, David saw a casual figure in a black sweater, matching sweatpants and white sneakers.
It comes weeks after she ‘softly’ launched her relationship with the tattooed Irish musician.
Shona shared a black and white photo of their intertwined hands, with David showing off his signature tattoo.
The actress wrote, “I promise,” along with a romantic quote from John Lennon in the caption, which read, “Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given, never forgotten, never lets go.”
Two days earlier, David had shared the same shot, writing, “A promise is a promise. To never break. #happy #happyplace.”
In October 2022, Shona and her ex-boyfriend Max Bowden reportedly split after a six-month romance after he welcomed a baby boy with his ex Roisin Buckle.
Roisin discovered she was pregnant in early 2022, but the couple decided to split in March, agreeing to co-parenting once their son was born.

Max – who plays Ben Mitchell on EastEnders – and Shona’s former romance subsequently came to light in May 2022 after sources claimed the pair were ‘inseparable’.
They made their relationship official on Instagram in August 2022, but six months later a source said The sun: ‘A lot has happened in Max’s life and things just got too complicated with Shona involved.
“Max will always have a lot of love and respect for Shona, but it’s just not the right time.”
A friend close to the couple added: ‘Max and Shona have never spoken about it publicly, but as those close to them know, they have never had an official relationship and remain good friends who decided not to do anything a few months ago to pursue romantically. .’
Shona opened up about her split from ex Max at the British Soap Awards in June.
She said The mirror: ‘It’s wonderful to be here tonight because Max’s mother is here and I haven’t seen her for a while, I love her.
‘So it’s wonderful to meet her. We’re actually better than ever. It’s a friendship, we’re in such a good place.
“You take a risk, and you do something and it doesn’t work, but that’s life, you have to take that risk.”
