The 37-year-old, who played Jason Grimshaw in the ITV soap, posted a family snap with fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh and his three kids.

In his Instagram stories he added: “All I ever need... 3 kids?!!! When did that happen?”

Ryan’s famous pals were quick to comment underneath offering their congratulations.
Catherine Tyldesley, who played Eva Price in Corrie until 2018, wrote: ‘Gorgeous, so much love xxx.”
Samia Longchambon, who has played character Maria Connor since 2000, posted a series of love heart emojis.
Will Mellor, who portrayed villain Harvey Gaskell, commented: “Congratulations pal! Really happy for you all! x.”
While Boyzone’s Keith Duffy – who had a part in Corrie as Ciaran McCarthy in the early Noughties – said: “Lucky is only a small part! You deserve it brother.”
Ryan and Lucy welcomed the latest addition to their family – a baby girl – on May 31.
It is the second child for the couple, who are engaged to be married.
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy has been sharing snaps of their little one.
However, they have yet to publicly reveal what they have named her – with Lucy posting in her Instagram stories: “And she doesn’t have a name just yet.”
The couple shared they had 15 names picked out but have decided to wait until they'd met her to pick whichever one suited her best.
One adorable photo Lucy shared with her 1.7 million Instagram followers showed her planting a kiss on her baby girl’s cheek.
She captioned the post: “My dream girl.”
Revealing more details of the birth, Lucy said: “Thank you for all your kind messages!
“To answer some of your questions she was 7 days over her due date, the birth was positive & honestly magical.
“Roman adores her. I’m doing really well recovery wise and she’s the dream!!! Such a content settled bubba.”
The baby girl's first months of life are sure to be very different to her brother's now that Covid rules have been suspended in the UK.
Roman was born just weeks before the first lockdown began, meaning he had to wait a long time to meet a lot of his loved ones.
Lucy has admitted she was convinced she was having a baby girl this time, and was delighted when a scan revealed she was right.
