Maureen Lipman Engaged to David Turner

Coronation Street actress Maureen Lipman, 78, has announced her engagement to David Turner, also 78, after proposing to him during a train journey. The couple revealed their plans to marry in a column for The Spectator, highlighting their combined age of 156. Lipman, who was initially against marriage, was inspired by the Jewish festival Tu B'Av to propose. They celebrated their engagement modestly and shared the news with their children on what would have been the birthday of Lipman's late husband, Jack Rosenthal. This engagement marks Lipman's first romantic relationship since the death of her partner Guido Castro in 2021. Lipman expressed her joy in finding love again in her later years.
