A double dose of baby news for Col!
Coleen Nolan is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time – as son Shane shared his baby news days after Coleen’s daughter Ciara Fensome announced she was pregnant with her first baby.
Back in April 2024, Ciara announced that she was engaged to partner Max Innes. Last week, they shared their happy news. This week, it’s Shane’s turn – and Granny Col is thrilled!

Coleen Nolan’s daughter pregnant
Loose Women star Coleen is already grandmother to two babies. In 2016, eldest son Shane Jr welcomed daughter Amelia with his previous partner. Then, in November 2024, her son Jake became a dad to a little boy.
Last week, Ciara, Coleen Nolan‘s youngest child, who is 24, announced she’s expecting. She posted two pictures to announce the news – one saw her cradling her baby bump and the other showed the parents-to-be holding baby scan photos.
Ciara shared: “One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending.”
‘I’m already planning the nursery’
Coleen – who has been holidaying in Rhodes with Ciara – spoke about the news on Loose Women last week (June 23).
“So my daughter Ciara is expecting. It’ll be my third grandchild. We’ve known for ages but they like to keep it secret for ages. She’s 21 weeks this weeks,” she said.
“So you know the sex?” Brenda Edwards asked. “Yep, but I’m not telling you,” Coleen responded.
She then added: “She has got a bump, but it’s taken 20 weeks. She kept coming over in size 8 jeans and I was like: ‘You’re not pregnant, are you?’ Then all of a sudden she can feel it kicking.”
Coleen added: “She’s so excited but she’s really scared and really worried and keeps saying: ‘I mean, you’ll have it most of the time.’ Not sure that’s in the contract. I mean, I will, I’m already planning the nursery. When all my grandkids are there I’m going to have a room for them all, when they all come and stay. I love it.”
Shane Jr’s baby news
Earlier today (July 1), it was Shane’s turn to celebrate. Posting on her socials, Coleen – who shares Shane with her EastEnders actor ex Shane Richie – said: “I can’t actually believe this but I wanted to share with you all that I’m going to be a Nanny AGAIN!
“My first-born Shane and his lovely partner Kim have just announced they are having a baby and I’m so excited. Wishing them all the congratulations in the world. I wonder what gender it’ll be?”
Shane is already father to his daughter Amelia, nine, who he shares with his ex Emma Kivell. Meanwhile, his partner Kim also has a daughter, 12, from a previous relationship.
Happy news for the Nolans after a lot of sadness
The happy family news comes after a tough six months for Coleen. In January, she lost her beloved sister Linda. Her brother Brian was then diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Coleen is currently single after splitting from her boyfriend Michael Jones. The pair met on Tinder and had an on/off relationship for three years. They split for good in December 2024.
Coleen Nolan shares daughter Ciara with ex-husband Ray Fensome. They tied the knot in 2007 but divorced 11 years later in 2018. She married Shane Richie in in 1990 and split in 1999.
