On Monday, Alan took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of himself with his adorable dog fucking his leg and made a funny comment about being single.
In February, Sun revealed that the couple began to drift apart and broke up at the beginning of the year.
A source told the publication at the time: ‘Alan and Tisha loved each other very much and had very similar interests, they enjoyed socializing and going on holidays together.
“But they began to grow apart and feel the pressure of making their relationship work take over. They realized they weren’t on the same page and breaking up seemed like the best option.
“Tisha moved out of Alan’s house about a month ago and is getting to work.”
Alan, 41, has played street favorite Tyrone for 26 years, while Tisha, 30, now stars in BBC series Doctors.
Alan was previously married to Hollyoaks actress Lucy-Jo Hudson before their split in 2018. The couple share daughter Sienna, 10.
Tisha deleted all of Alan’s photos from her Instagram account, where the couple often documented their relationship, and Alan deleted most of her.
Before their split, Alan underwent major knee surgery which forced him to withdraw from I’m A Celebrity last year and take time off from Corrie.
The Sun has revealed the couple began drifting apart and broke up earlier this year.
He is believed to have injured himself while exercising and underwent reconstructive surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament in November.
The star shared a clip of himself working hard during a rehab session following ACL reconstruction.
Alan was strengthening his knee while strapped to weighted equipment which he captioned: “ACL rehab, 12 weeks, on the way.”
In surgery, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was reconstructed by removing the torn ligament and replacing it with a tendon from another area of the leg.
Alan also recently returned to filming post-op and shared a beaming snap with his on-screen family on social media.
Writing: ‘The family is the heart of the home. “I’m very happy to be together again and to get back to work.”
He revealed that he had gone under the knife in November as gave a thumbs up and lay back on the bed and told how the surgery went “very well” in an accompanying caption.
