Shawn Evans may have discovered early in his life that he wanted an acting career. On scholarship, he attended Merseyside’s Catholic school, St. Edward’s College, in 1991 and graduated in 1998. As Evans described to Express in 2016, his college was “very academic but very musical”.

Evans, then 18, moved to London to enroll at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
In London, Shaun Evans had a handful of roles in plays before television roles started to come through. Some of his early TV shows were; Channel 4 comedy-drama Teachers where he portrayed a gay French teacher, docudrama The Project and miniseries The Virgin Queen

Wife or girlfriend, is he married?
Shaun Evans is not one to reveal his personal life online for the world to see. He is quite enigmatic in real life, keeping no Facebook or Twitter accounts. Her personal life is just a mystery to her thousands of fans. Evans’ scenes from his hit show Endeavor have included a handful of romantic scenes and fans can’t help but wonder what his romantic life might look like.
Well, we know that, in 2003, Evans started a romantic relationship with actress and singer Andrea Corr whom he met on the set of The Boys from County Clare, an Irish comedy-drama about a ceili band. of Liverpool. It was Shaun’s first film.
While Evans was something of a newbie in the industry, Corr had a great experience having started her career in 1990. She is best known for being the lead singer of Celtic folk rock and pop rock band The Corrs. The group includes his three older brothers, Caroline, Sharon and Jim. Corr also pursued a solo career.
Sadly, their relationship only lasted four years after they split in 2007. As the intimate Shaun shows, the details of their breakup remain unknown to the media. Corr would go on to marry stockbroker Brett Desmond in 2009. The couple are now parents of two children; his daughter Jean was born on April 28, 2012 and his son Brett Jr. was born on January 4, 2014.
Since Shaun’s breakup with Corr, the media hasn’t been told anything about his romantic life. So we can’t say for sure if the Endeavor star is in a relationship.
