Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz Marsland have welcomed their first child, a baby daughter.
The couple shared the joyful news on social media on Monday, though details about the birth have not yet been disclosed.
Kelvin took to Twitter to announce the arrival, writing: “Our hearts are filled with love. She’s the most beautiful little thing I’ve ever seen.”
Wife Liz also shared the happy news with her fans, posting a photo of a pink bouquet of flowers with the caption: “Everything pink for the little cherub #bestfeeling in the world!”
The childhood sweethearts revealed that Liz became pregnant during the weekend of their wedding, but they waited until Christmas to share the news with family.
“We’re pretty sure Liz fell pregnant on our wedding night,” Kelvin said. “We then flew to Rome for three nights. Little did we know, there were three of us on our honeymoon!”
He added: “The day I found out Liz was pregnant and our wedding day were the most amazing days of my life.”
The couple conceived on their wedding night last year but chose to keep the baby’s sex a surprise.
Kelvin also revealed that he dreams of having a large family with his wife.
“I’ve always wanted to have children and become a father, without question,” he said. “I’ve been more certain of that than anything, even more than wanting to become an actor. I want five children! I do want a huge family, but ultimately, whatever will be, will be.”
Appearing on Loose Women three weeks before the birth, Liz admitted she was ensuring Kelvin remained close at hand should be suddenly go into labour.
‘I’ve become Kelvin’s side kick in case anything happens,’ she joked. ‘I’m just following him around!’
Kelvin also admitted they were yet to discover the sex of their child, telling the panel:’It’s our first one, we don’t know what it is yet so we’re excited to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl.’
The couple, together for over a decade, chose to wait until their 30s to start a family so they could enjoy their 20s together.
They tied the knot in November in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family after nine years of dating.
Kelvin’s baby couldn’t have arrived at a better time, as he recently stepped away from Emmerdale after 20 years playing Andy Sugden.
Reflecting on his departure, he told the Loose Women panellists, “I love the show, it’s been an amazing place to work and has given me a great sense of purpose. I’ve been lucky enough to make a living from it.”
