They met, moved in together, got engaged, split up, got back together and were planning their wedding after announcing they were back on track.
But the true course of love never did run smooth for Sid Owen and Polly Parsons who have announced their split after six years together.
Owen, 40, who is best known for his role as the long-suffering Ricky Butcher in EastEnders, revealed that he and actress Polly, 28, had called time on their turbulent romance.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he said: 'We're still good friends but we are not together anymore. I'm single.'
Sid and Polly met in 2006 when they were both starring in when they were both starring in the pantomime Snow White And The Seven Dwarves at the Beck Theatre in Hayes, Middlesex, and both claim it was 'love at first sight'.
They moved in straight away together but their whirlwind relationship has not been without its ups and downs.
They were photographed fighting in the street outside Essex nightclub Faces in 2008 after it was claimed a female fan shouted 'Rickay' at him.
But in 2009, Sid proposed to Polly while they were on holiday in Barbados.
But the couple reportedly rowed about their plans for the wedding and called off their engagement after plans for the event spiraled out of control.
'It was getting ridiculous,' said Polly. 'We had about a thousand people coming!
'It would have been about everyone else - now we've had time apart, we know what's important. It just started to get out of hand and it scared me.'
Last summer they announced they were back together with Polly adding: 'We had some time apart. But it made us appreciate each other and realise we wanted to be together.'
