Hollyoaks Star Welcomes First Child with Boyfriend in Heartwarming Post
The couple announced the birth on Instagram after a two-year fertility journey and said their son arrived a few days early.
On Saturday, former Hollyoaks stars Nikki Sanderson and Anthony Quinlan announced the birth of their baby boy, sharing a black-and-white photo on Instagram captioned 'Hello World'.
The couple had been trying to conceive for two years and began pursuing IVF, with Nikki, who played Maxine Minniver in Hollyoaks for 12 years, describing the journey as having 'a lot of ups and downs'.
Anthony, who also starred in Emmerdale, said the pregnancy became 'extremely real' when he felt the baby kick, after the couple first confirmed the news last December with 'Merry Christmas from the 3 of us'.
Former Strictly pro Gorka Marquez wrote 'OMG = BEST NEWS GUYS,' while Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon posted, 'Massive congratulations to you all can't wait to meet little man!' in response.
The newborn arrived earlier than expected, with Nikki writing 'Happy due date little man,' though the couple has not yet disclosed the baby's name.
