Stephanie Davis has revealed that she ‘cried every night for seven week’ after she split from her ex-boyfriend just four months after their baby was born.
The Hollyoaks star, 31, welcomed a baby boy Samuel in January and confirmed she had separated from her partner Joseph McKalroy shortly afterwards.
And now in a very honest clip, shared to Instagram, Stephanie explained the fallout of her ‘traumatic’ breakup and opened up about her ‘journey to finding herself’.
She confessed that her real life was far more ‘dramatic than any of her storylines’ and that she has had many ‘me problems’ and ‘heartbreaks’ over the years.
Explaining that she raised her eldest son Caben – who she welcomed during a previous relationship- alone, Stephanie had confessed she hoped to have a ‘family unit the next time round, but that never happened’.
The soap actress said: ‘I became a single mum at four months post partum. Which, as you can imagine, was pretty traumatic.

The Hollyoaks star, 31, welcomed a baby boy Samuel in January and confirmed she had separated from her partner Joseph McKalroy shortly afterwards.
She added: ‘I cried in bed next to me mum every night for about seven weeks and then I got myself together and I’m now on this healing journey to finding and loving me.’
Stephanie and Joseph had been together since 2022 and welcomed their 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, Steph 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’
The break-up marks another chapter in what’s been a rollercoaster love life for the Hollyoaks and Coronation Street star.
She also shares seven-year-old son Caben with ex-boyfriend and Celebrity Big Brother co-star Jeremy McConnell, who was convicted of assaulting her in 2017.
Steph has openly spoken about the heartache she and Joe endured in 2022 after suffering a miscarriage at three months.
She described it as a ‘horrendous’ time, saying they had already planned a future as a family of four.
