Hollyoaks stars Carley Stenson and Danny Mac have revealed they’ve welcomed their second child together. Carley, 41, took to Instagram in April to share that she was pregnant again and on Tuesday the pair shared another post to say she had given birth.
They penned in the caption of the picture that showed them leaving hospital: ‘Beauie Mac Been in our LOVE bubble since 18/04/24 We adore you.’ They were inundated with messages of congratulations under the post including from presenter Laura Whitmore and their soap co-star Nikki Sanderson.
Carly and Danny started dating in 2011 and tied the knot six years later. They welcomed their first child, daughter Skye in 2021. The duo are former Hollyoaks actors, with Danny playing Mark Savage in the soap until 2015 and Carley portraying Steph Cunningham until 2011.
Announcing she was pregnant earlier this year Carley shared a snap of her baby bump’s shadow with the caption: ‘We can’t wait to meet you.’ She added the hashtags: ‘#springnewlife #ourbaby #bigsister #pregnantat41 #inourlittlebubble.’
Last year, Carly revealed how her attitude had changed towards her racy Hollyoaks spreads since becoming a mother. She confessed to The Sun: ‘Now I’m a mum, I don’t know about getting any kit off.
‘I just think your attitude changes when you are older — and certainly when you’re a mum. I’m all about body confidence though, and women feeling great.’ However, recalling the time with fond memories, she said: ‘It was liberating as a woman of 20 or so to feel confident. I’ve got those pictures to look back on and enjoy.
‘It was always something I did back then knowing that, hopefully one day, I’d be an old granny and would say, ‘Oh, look at me back then’. The mother of one previously candidly discussed how she was struggling with ‘mum guilt’ while away from her baby daughter.
