Hollyoaks star Jonny Clarke has welcomed his first child with his wife Stephanie.
The former actor, 31, best known for his role as Bart McQueen on the Channel 4 soap opera, has kept quiet about the pregnancy over the last 10 months.
But now he has shared a glimpse into his new family life as he shared two sweet snaps playing with his toddler son to Instagram.
Captioning the post, the proud dad, who first found fame when he joined the soap in 2010, penned: ‘My rainbow, my sunshine, my son.’
Earlier in the summer, Jonny had also shared a snap in which he first confirmed that he had recently become a dad and had celebrated his first Father’s Day.
Jonny has not revealed the child’s name and has chosen to not post his son’s face on social media.

In September 2023 the couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony.
In the wedding day snap, Jonny cut a suave figure in a tuxedo, made up of smart black trousers, a crisp white shirt, a bowtie and a cream blazer.
He flashed a huge smile as he wrapped his arm around his new wife Steph, who looked every inch the bride in a gorgeous strapless satin wedding dress.
She held a bouquet of cream flowers in her hand and her veil could be seen trawling out behind her as she gazed lovingly into Jonny’s eyes.
Captioning the snap, Jonny simply confirmed that their wedding date was August 7 as he kept the details of their special day under wraps.
Jonny’s former Hollyoaks co-stars took to the comments section to share their congratulations with the happy couple.
Jamie Lomas, who plays Warren Fox, wrote: ‘Congratulations mate,’ while Rhys Ashworth actor Andrew Moss added: ‘Mega congrats you guys.’
Jonny had been dating his wife Steph for at least six years before they tied the knot last month, with Instagram posts featuring her going back to 2017.

Jonny first appeared on Hollyoaks as Bart in 2010 and had a three-year run on the show until 2013, before briefly returning to the drama in 2017.
However, he left the show when his character Bart was beaten to death by Warren Fox for his involvement in Warren’s sister Katy Fox’s death three years earlier.
Since leaving the soap opera, he has stepped away from acting and has reportedly gone on to pursue a career in marketing.
In 2012, Jonny was nominated for Best Serial Drama performance at the National Television Awards.
He last appeared in Hollyoaks in 2017 and has maintained a relatively low profile since then.
