Kevin Mathurin has been a staple on Emmerdale for several years, and in real life – he’s loved-up with a fellow famous face.
Actor Kevin made his first appearance on the long-running ITV soap back in 2020 as vicar Charles Anderson – and it didn’t take him long to become a firm favourite with viewers.
And over the years, he’s been involved in several big storylines. From Charles’ doomed romance with Manpreet Sharma (played by Rebecca Sarker) to the death of his son Ethan (Emile John), his time in the village has not been short of drama.
What’s more, in 2023, Charles’ mum Claudette (Flo Wilson) rocked up to the Dales and she quickly ruffled a few feathers, known for her busybody ways.
Away from the long-running ITV soap though, Charles actor Kevin lives a far less dramatic life and is loved-up with his long-term partner, who happens to be a famous face.
Since 2011, Kevin has been in a relationship with international DJ Nikki Beatnik – who works with A-list stars including Kelis, Jay-Z and Kanye West. Like her partner Kevin, Nikki is also in the showbiz world, working as a producer and DJ.
In 2016, she spoke about her career, telling The Standard: “I’ve met some cool, interesting people.” She recalled: “One night Spike Jones hung out with me in the booth, but I didn’t say a word to him because I was just too busy DJing.
“Another time, we went out with Tom Jones and were like, ‘This is crazy’. I did parties for Alicia Keys a few times, and she’d have people like Stevie Wonder coming.”
The pair are parents to a son called Harley. Harley celebrated his eighth birthday in September 2022 and his dad wished him a Happy Birthday on Instagram.
Next to a photo of his son dressed in a Darth Vader costume, he said: “Happy Birthday Harley. Can’t believe you are 8 years old already. May the force always be with you.”
Meanwhile in 2023, Kevin who commutes from the family home in South London to Leeds where Emmerdale is filmed, opened up about his relationship with Nikki.
He revealed she would have “killed him” if he hadn’t accepted the role of Charles on Emmerdale because she knows how much it means to him.
“I do feel guilty being away from the family, especially when the schedule is really busy and I am working five days in a week. It breaks my heart when I get a little voice message from my eight-year-old son, Harley, saying he misses me,” Kevin told OK.
“And it’s especially hard for Nikki as she is the one juggling all the school runs and after-school activities, but knowing Harley and my 14-year-old daughter, Gracie, are missing their dad.
“Even if I have had a busy day filming, I will always have so much empathy for Nikki when we catch up on a video call in the evening.”
Kevin added: “But she also understands what it is like to have a job you love. She has a job she loves too. And thankfully if we are both away with our jobs, we’ve got the grandparents to help out.”
Emmerdale airs Monday to Friday at 8:00pm on ITV1 and ITVX
