Stephanie Davis has confirmed she has split from boyfriend Joseph McKalroy just five months after the ex couple welcomed their baby boy.
Soap star Steph, 31, announced the end of their relationship in a statement to fans on Sunday night.
The actress wrote: ‘Never in a million years did I think I’d be writing this. I’ve been left with no choice but to address the rumours.
‘This has come as a complete shock and has been an incredibly painful and unexpected time. Just four months after having a baby-one of the most vulnerable and emotional times in a woman’s life-I’ve found myself facing this chapter on my own.
‘After everything I’ve been through in the past, I truly believed I’d finally found my happiness-something secure and lasting. But that, heartbreakingly, hasn’t been the case.
‘I’m greatful for the years we had because without us I wouldn’t have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority.

‘Right now, I’m focusing on healing. protecting my peace, and doing the best I can-being there for my two beautiful boys. Thank you to those who’ve reached out-your kindness has meant more than I can say. Stephanie X.’
Stephanie and Joseph had been together since 2022 and welcomed son Samuel in January this year.
At the time, Joe shared an emotional post saying: ‘Welcome to the world my beautiful baby boy Samuel McKalroy
‘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.
‘It has been a traumatic experience but you are finally here in our arms. 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.
‘I love you more than you will ever know’.
Confirmation of their split comes after eagle-eyed fans had noticed Steph failed to mention Joseph on Father’s Day.
She did, however, make a tribute to her own dad on Instagram.
In the post, Stephanie, 31, praised her dad for being there for her and her two sons, writing: ‘There aren’t many men like you.’
One fan then replied: ‘Where’s Joe?’ and another commenting: ‘I think they have split up’ whilst another simply said: ‘Hope you and joe are OK’
