Coronation Street actress Paula Lane has welcomed her third child, expressing how much she desired this moment. Sharing heartwarming photos of her newborn son, named Patrick, snuggled in a cozy blue outfit alongside his delighted parents and the family dog.
In a touching Instagram post, Paula captioned the images of her embracing baby Patrick, wrapped in a blanket, stating, “Welcome to the ranch, Patrick. We are all completely in love and grateful for your presence.” She also shared a snapshot on her Instagram Stories of her husband, Tom Shaw, holding baby Patrick, along with a bottle of whiskey labeled ‘Paddy’ to mark the joyous occasion of becoming parents for the third time.
Known for her role as Ella Forster in Emmerdale, Paula received an outpouring of well wishes from her celebrity friends upon sharing the happy news. Emmerdale co-star Amy Walsh expressed her excitement, while I’m A Celebrity star Lisa Riley sent love and warm wishes to the growing family.
Paula and Tom had announced the pregnancy last summer through an Instagram post where she revealed the due date for their baby boy, adding a touch of magic to the upcoming Christmas season. The post, featuring a baby scan surrounded by cards for their other children, garnered a significant amount of positive feedback from followers.
Already parents to son Arthur and daughter Penny, Paula and Tom chose Alison Goldfrapp’s song Hey Hi Hello to accompany their announcement, receiving warm messages from colleagues like Lisa and Amy from Emmerdale. Other co-stars, including Michelle Hardwick and Danny Miller, also shared their excitement and congratulations.
Paula gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Kylie on Coronation Street, where she played the sister of Becky McDonald and later formed a relationship with David Platt. However, her character met a tragic end in 2016, leaving viewers heartbroken as David held Kylie in his arms after a fatal incident.
