Pregnant Stephanie Davis reveals adorable moment she told son Caben he is going to be a big brother
PREGNANT Stephanie Davis today revealed the adorable moment she told son her Caben he is going to be a big brother
The 31-year-old is expecting her first child with partner Joe McKalroy after a devastating miscarriage two years ago.
She is already mum to son Caben, seven, from a previous relationship with Jeremy McConnell.
Today Stephanie revealed how her boy reacted when they told him she was having another baby.
Taking to Instagram she shared a sweet video showing the moment Caben found out he was going to be a brother.
In the clip he was seen ecstatic at the prospect, and burst into tears.
Writing next to the adorable video, Steph wrote: “Well… This was the most perfect moment.
“We told Caben on the beach on our holiday. I was so nervous to tell him, it was such a big moment and one he hopefully remembers for the rest of his life.
“It’s so beautiful to just watch him at 7 years old trying to process such big news in his little head.
“He’s asked for a brother or sister for so long now, so when he found out you can see its overwhelming processing it.”
Stephanie – who is also known for staring in Coronation Street – recently revealed she is having another baby boy.
The couple found out in a room alone and have told how emotional it was.
Steph said: “Joe never cries, so when he started that set me off. We were just sobbing on each other. Then the nurse in the room started crying, too!”
But it’s been a difficult journey so far, with the star explaining to Ok!: “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.”
The actress and Joe had been trying for a baby for two years and were looking at fertility treatment when she fell pregnant naturally.
She was told she would be at high risk of miscarriage and the doctor’s even thought she was miscarrying again.
Steph explained: “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.”
But she was later told she had a haematoma and was put on complete bed rest.
A haematoma is a collection of blood which is located outside the blood vessels.
Amazingly the haematoma disappeared but in a cruel twist she then picked up C-diff on holiday.
C-diff is a germ (bacterium) that causes diarrhoea and colitis.
She said: “I was terrified. I’m still on medication to treat it, but I’m slowly recovering.”
Stephanie started dating Joe in November 2021 and he has become a huge part of her and son Caben’s life.
Fans have been convinced for some time that are secretly engaged.
Speaking in the past about their romance, Stephanie said: “No one will ever know how special our love is that we have, it’s just.. words can and will never explain. I love you with all my heart, till death do us part.”
Steph is well known for previously playing Sinead O’Connor in Hollyoaks.
She later landed a part in Corrie playing Courtney for a short stint.
