After keeping her pregnancy a secret for five months before the big reveal, Lucy has kept her followers updated on her and her unborn child's progress. The joyous baby news came after Lucy, who played Bethany in the ITV soap from 2015 to 2020, suffered a tragic miscarriage earlier this year.
She previousy revealed that she and Preston North End footballer Ryan's bundle of joy is due on February 2, 2023. "We’re very fortunate that it happened again for us," said Lucy, who took a pregnancy test while on a trip to the Maldives,
The couple announced the news to OK! Magazine. Lucy went public with Ryan in June last year. Love blossomed for the couple during lockdown after they met on celebrity dating app Raya. It came after Lucy split from her boyfriend of four years Tom Leech.
Earlier this month Lucy and Ryan revealed that their first child is a boy. The mum-to-be shared the news with OK! magazine as she celebrated her impending arrival at a baby shower with her soap star pals, including Helen Flanagan, and 100 guests at the plush Shankly Hotel in Liverpool.
"I wanted it gender neutral on the day because I hadn’t made it public that we’re having a boy then," Lucy told the publication. "We found out the gender at 16 weeks. Obviously we weren’t bothered either way, but Ryan was so convinced we were having a girl.
"I’d been so sick at the beginning and neither of my sisters were sick when they were having their boys. And when you send people the 12-week scan, everyone tries to guess and everyone was saying, 'It's definitely a girl.'" It was at Lucy’s 16-week scan that she was handed an envelope disclosing the gender of the baby.
She and Ryan opened it in front of close friends and family at home before a second reveal at her baby shower. But Lucy said that even prior to that, she felt certain she was expecting a boy. "I knew. I just had this really strong feeling,” she told OK!. "The night before I said to Ryan, ‘I bet you £500 it’s going to be a boy.’ He still hasn’t sent me the money!"
