Stephanie Davis has announced that she’s expecting a baby boy with her partner Joe McKalroy. The 31-year-old former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks actress revealed the exciting news in a recent interview, candidly sharing her pregnancy journey with fans. Stephanie, who had her first son in January 2017, is now 16 weeks pregnant and expects to give birth in January 2025.
Stephanie also shared that the pregnancy journey had been a "rollercoaster" after she suffered a miscarriage in May 2022. In an interview with OK! magazine , she said: "After my previous miscarriage, I thought, 'God's going to be good to us, it'll be plain sailing.' But that's not how life works.
" "It's been...
a roller coaster." Despite undergoing fertility tests and trying for a baby for two years, Stephanie fell pregnant naturally. "I did the pregnancy test at my mother-in-law's.
I could not believe it. I've done a million tests over the past two years and videoed them the one time I didn't, it was positive!" she added. However, she encountered another setback when blood tests showed that her HCG (pregnancy hormone) levels were dangerously low and not increasing as expected.
She recalled: "The doctor said he believed I was having another miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. But I wasn't having it, I had this strong gut feeling that it was all going to be OK." It was announced back in January 2017 that Stephanie had given birth to her first child, a son named Caben-Albi.
Her agent said at the time: "We are delighted to confirm that our client Stephanie Davis gave birth to a baby boy on Friday. Mother and baby are doing fine." Stephanie has been involved in a high-profile relationship including with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell, who she met in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The pair shortly split up after Stephanie gave birth to their child. She also dated Hollyoaks co-star Owen Warner . Stephanie met her current partner Joe McKalroy, 27, during a group therapy session in 2021.
Recently, Stephanie celebrated Caben's seventh birthday. She took to Instagram to write: "Happy Birthday to my beautiful Son Caben-Albi. On Friday the 13th at 11:57 You came into this world & my life changed forever.
They say we teach our children..but Caben, you have been my biggest teacher.
You have taught me hope. You have taught me through the worst times that nothing matters as long as we have each other & laughter is everything. You have taught me ultimate resilience & gave me unlimited strength.
"You showed me what pure love is. You taught me patience & to never take things for granted. I felt anger for times that should have been filled with happiness & peace were robbed from us, but you taught me that time was a healer and we can start again & create our own peace.
We went through so much from the very start, like the world was against us, but together, hand in hand we marched through it all and that’s all because of you. Through the ups, the downs, the tears, the happiness we came through it all with an unbreakable bond. This song says everything & makes me very emotional.
"Six in the mornin’, hands are shakin’ Half ready, half scared to death. Hand me the world, wrapped in a blue blanket The world falls asleep on my chest. We’ll get it wrong, we’ll get it right.
Whole lotta tears we both have to cry You’ll learn to run, I’ll learn to let go Years’ll go fast, nights'll go slow Lord knows the best thing that I’ll ever do Will be growin’ up raisin’ you...
Thank you for making me the woman I am today. You are the most loving, caring, funny, talented, unique special little boy. I still look at you and can’t believe your mine, you are everything, a real Angel sent from above.
I’m so lucky I get to spend my life with you. Happy Birthday Baby Boy, as you say let’s have a 'Happy day' Best friends forever." Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
