Former Coronation Street star Stephanie Davis has emotionally opened up about her new arrival for the first time after her partner Joe McKalroy announced the birth of their first child together.

The actress, who recently played Courtney Vance in the ITV soap, announced that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Joe , who she met during a group therapy session in 2021, back in August.

It was then last week that Joe confirmed their son's arrival. Alongside the first pictures of their baby boy and pictures of the new arrival with his older brother, Stephanie's son Caben from a previous relationship, Joe wrote on Instagram: "Welcome to the world, my beautiful baby boy Samuel McKalroy." He continued: "Named after your uncle the one and only who will always weigh heavy on my heart I wish so much that he could’ve met you and cherished you as much as I do," Joe went on, revealing the sweet meaning behind the name the couple have chosen.

It has been a traumatic experience but you are finally here in our arms." He added: "I never thought I could possibly love your mummy anymore than I already do but this is just so special and an unconditional love I cannot explain with words. @stephaniedavis88 I love you more than you will ever know." Stephanie later took to her own Instagram Story with her own message after leaving Joe to announce the wonderful news of their new arrival.
