Real Hollyoaks couple Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed announce they’re expecting their second child together
REAL-life Hollyoaks couple Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed are expecting their second child together.
Nadine, 28 - who plays Cleo McQueen on the Channel 4 show - revealed the happy news on Christmas Day with a sweet snap of their two-year-old son Reggie.
He was holding a picture of her ultrasound in front of the Christmas Tree.
She jokingly captioned it from Reggie, writing: “This better not be my only gift mum”.
The couple, who met on set of the Channel 4 soap, went public with their relationship in November 2017.
They got engaged a year later during a romantic trip to Amsterdam.
During a chat with OK! magazine, Rory admitted that he thought his wife-to-be was going to say no.
He confessed: "It was terrifying. I felt like I was on my knee for an eternity.
"I remember saying: ‘Go on, just say something!'"
The pair welcomed their boy into the world in October 2019 - now they're adding another to their family.
Rory, who has played Joel Dexter in the the long-running saga since 2016, told fans when Reggie was born: “Welcome to the family wee Reggie Speed 15.8.19
“We love You man. So proud of Nadine, I didn’t think I could love her any more but my heart is bloody bursting! She was amazing throughout her labour. Women are seriously Superhuman x”
Nadine shared her own picture with her new born and gushed: "Reggie Speed. Your the coolest little dude we never knew we were missing in our lives! We love you so Much.
"Also Thank you to every incredible NHS worker we’ve come across at the Women's. (Helen, Jordine, Amy, Amy) You're all walking angels. Thank you so much for making one of biggest moments of our lives so extra special with care."
The happy family now live in their "dream home" in Liverpool, after moving in last year.
