Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has shared an adorable family picture with his new baby only a few days after she was born.
The 37-year-old who played the role of Jason Grimshaw is engaged to former TOWIE start Lucy Mecklenburg with the pair welcoming their second child earlier on in the week. The baby girl is the latest addition to their growing family which includes Roman, two, and daughter Scarlett, 13, who Ryan shares with ex and fellow Corrie star Tina O'Brien, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Lucy announced the birth of her baby girl on Saturday while also revealing that she and Ryan had not yet chosen a name for her "just yet". Ryan shared a photo of himself with his new baby daughter on Friday with Scarlett also making a cameo.

Captioning the snap on Instagram, he said: "Lucky is a understatement [heart emoji]". He also shared the post to his Instagram story, adding: "All I ever need" and "3 kids?!! When did that happen?"
The picture received a wave of love and support from Ryan's fellow stairs. Cath Tyldesley, who played Eva Price in the soap until 2018, said: "Gorgeous, so much love xxx". Meanwhile, Maria Connor actress Samia Longchambon simply posted a series of love emojis.
Stars from outside the cobbles also shared their love and support for Ryan and his growing family. Influencer and former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, who was recently featured alongside Ryan on The Games last month, said: "The best."
Boyzone member and former Corrie star Keith Duffy added: "Lucky is only a small part ! You Deserve it brother".
Ryan and Lucy welcomed their first child together, Roman Ravello Thomas, in March 2020 - just before the UK went into lockdown. The pair got engaged in summer 2019 in the Italian cliffside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast during a romantic trip to Italy, with Roman's middle name a nod to the special time.
Last month Ryan, who also shares teen daughter Scarlett with his ex Tina O'Brien, who plays Sarah Barlow in Corrie, shared his worry about his and Lucy's impending arrival as he took part in ITV show The Games. The Jason Grimshaw actor joined several other famous faces as they competed in a series of sporting challenges after months of training.
