Lucy Fallon, former Coronation Street star, has announced the birth of her second child, a baby girl, with partner Ryan Ledson.

Lucy Fallon, known for her role as Bethany Platt on Coronation Street, has joyfully announced the birth of her second child with partner Ryan Ledson. The couple welcomed a baby girl on January 11, 2025.

Sharing her happiness on Instagram, Lucy posted a heartwarming photo of her newborn daughter, captioning it: “Our teeny angel girl is here 11/1/25 x.”

Her celeb pals were quick to show their adoration, with former Islander Kendal Rae Knight, commenting: “Congratulations to you all, she’s gorgeous x.” Singer Fleur East penned: “Ahhh congrats! Xxxx.” Singer Kimberely Wyatt added: “Congratulations,” alongside a love-struck emoji.

Lucy and Ryan, who have been together since 2020, are already parents to a son named Sonny, born in early 2023. The couple had previously experienced the heartbreak of a miscarriage in March 2022, making the arrival of their daughter even more special.

Back in April last year, Lucy recalled having experienced a miscarriage when she first fell pregnant, before her pregnancy with Sonny. Later that year, Lucy announced that she was pregnant again and the couple welcomed their first child, Sonny, now two, in January 2023.

She opened up about the miscarriage on an episode of ITV ‘s Drama Queens. The reality TV show follows several soap stars and gives viewers an insight into their lives off-screen. In a clip from an episode that aired last year, Lucy said: “In the first year that me and Ryan were together I fell pregnant for the first time.” Lucy said that they were “really excited,” before adding: “And we booked a scan and we … I feel like I’m gonna get upset.” It’s believed that she takes a moment to compose herself and is subsequently seen stating in the video ahead of the next episode: “We went for the first scan and I didn’t expect that anything would be wrong and [the nurse] told us that there was no heartbeat. That the baby had died.”

Lucy’s most recent pregnancy announcement came just months after she revealed she wanted to extend her family, hinting that she and Ryan were ready to have a bigger family. During an episode of ITV’s Drama Queens, Ryan stated that he wanted: “Maybe one more.” While Lucy interrupted adding: “Two more.”

Ryan appeared to be determined as he said: “One for me, really.” But Lucy was determined to get her point across as she fumed: “Two more. I have the uterus!” Their decision to discuss expanding their family came after Lucy reflected on the possibility of her Corrie character falling pregnant.

She said to Ryan: “I read that next week I’m getting run over, and everyone thinks that I’m pregnant. Not me, but Bethany, but she’s not pregnant.” When asked if she thought being pregnant is something that Coronation Street bosses could bring to the show, she quipped: “God no! I’ve got one at home, I don’t need one there! It’s not what I need!”

A month later, in September, Lucy confirmed she was having a little girl in an adorable gender reveal. Lucy took to Instagram to share footage of herself and Ryan discovering the sex of their unborn child. They were seen looking over her phone before displaying surprise with their facial expressions.

She had her hands covering her face moments later and was subsequently seen wiping tears away from her eyes. The video went on to reveal the news to fans, with viewers shown a baby onesie that read “little sister” on the front.
