Despite disliking her he married her when she became pregnant with Tim who was born in 1992. Sometime later they divorced, but does not say how much later. Nor does it say if Tim was still a child then or if he was, who he stayed with. Not sure where Wiki gets it's facts from but would assume it is from the programme makers. In which case it seems Corrie is rewriting history. I cannot remember what Tim or Geoff may have said about the past but I am wondering if the plot to make Goeff abusive was a recent idea as it does not seem to fit with this history.
Elaine (Philippa?) said they were married for 2 years and Tim was born in 1972 according to https://coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Geoff_Metcalfe.
