EastEnders Jack Branning star Scott Maslen’s real love life with famous musician
Away from Walford and BBC One's beloved soap EastEnders, Scott Maslen who portrays Jack Branning has had a very low-key love life and an incredibly happy marriage to a famous DJ
Jack Branning has had his fair share of lovers within the realms of EastEnders – but the man who plays him has had a very different love life in the real world.
The hunky policeman, who lives on Albert Square and is currently with Denise Fox, has had a slew of romances on-screen. However, drama is never too far from Mr Branning.
In the BBC One soap Scott Maslen’s character has been married twice – first to Selina, and second to Ronnie Mitchell. He has also been romantically involved with countless women including Tanya Branning, Roxy Mitchell, Rainie Branning, Sharon Rickman and Chelsea Fox.
And despite previously dating her daughter, his relationship with Denise has seen them build their lives together happily – but she had a brief fling. And now it looks like it might be Jack’s turn as he and Stacey have a heart to heart and sparks start to fly.
But what is his love life really like away from Albert Square? Far less controversial…
Loved-up life with wife
Away from the soap, Scott’s love life is very low-key, unproblematic and incredibly loved-up.
Scott’s love life is a far cry from his EastEnders Jack Branning character’s dating history.
Away from Walford Scott is happily married to Estelle Rubio, and has been loved up with the stunning star since 1999.
The pair began dating before the noughties and then got wed nine years later in 2008.
Scott’s EastEnder’s co-stars were in attendance at the couple’s nuptials, with wedding guests including the likes of Patsy Palmer (Bianca Jackson), Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell) and the late Dame Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell).
Sharing regular snaps together, the couple seem to be going strong after 14 years of marriage.
They also share a son called Zack and a cute dog named Chewbacca.
Estelle’s incredible music career
Although Scott is a household name, Estelle has a sparkling career of her own.
A star in her own right, Estelle has worked with some huge names in the music industry.
She is a producer, singer, songwriter and DJ and has composed for television networks, BBC and Sky.
Into the dance and house genres, Estelle has worked with the likes of Basement Jaxx, Clean Bandit and La Roux.
A self confessed “geek girl” Estelle was headhunted by Apple to present Logic X at conferences and product launches.
Not only this, but she has also written for Music Production Degrees as well as lecturing at BIMM London.
With a huge selection of celeb pals, she touches shoulders with the likes of fellow musician Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife Jo Wood.
Hello! Magazine once said of Estelle: “like Madonna, Estelle is something of an innovator on the music scene.”
Lookalike son
Scott and Estelle have one son named Zack, who happens to be the complete spit of his famous father.
The 19-year-old regularly features in Scott’s social media posts, with dad Scott often paying tribute to his son in the photo and video captions.
Posing for a photo with his son on Instagram, Scott said: “Chilling with my not-so-little boy,” which led to a slew of comments from fans.
Branding his son the spit of the actor, many fans commented on the snap.
One said: “Twins for real,” while another penned: “You look like brothers, definitely was confused at the caption.”
A third then added: “Awwww he looks like his lovely musical mummy, great acting tonight @realscottmaslen.”
