EastEnders’ Lacey Turner has given birth! Soap star welcomes her second child with husband Matt Kay
Lacey Turner has revealed she has given birth to her ‘miracle’ second child, a baby boy, with husband Matt Kay.
The EastEnders star, 32, gushed to OK! Magazine on Friday about her bundle of joy, who she welcomed earlier this week, and said they are ‘completely besotted’ with him.
Their son, whose name they have yet to reveal publicly, was born early and weighed just 6lbs, and Lacey said that her 18-month-old daughter Dusty is already ‘so in love’ with him.
Congratulations! EastEnders’ Lacey Turner has given birth to her second child with husband Matt Kay earlier this week, which she revealed on Friday
She told the publication: ‘Matt and I are so completely besotted with our early surprise and Dusty is so in love with her new baby brother! How lucky we all are.’
Lacey and Matt have been together since they were both 15, with the romantic proposal taking place in September 2016 during a break in Venice.
The actress welcomed her daughter Dusty in July 2019, after announcing she was pregnant the previous February.
Lacey recently talked about suffering two miscarriages before conceiving her daughter Dusty, and has said it was a ‘miracle’ to fall pregnant again so quickly.
Lacey admitted last year it was ‘heartbreaking’ to lose her first babies at seven weeks pregnant, and revealed she had a scan ‘every week’ during her pregnancy with Dusty.
She discussed the differences between her current pregnancy and when she carried her daughter Dusty during an interview on Loose Women in October.
The media personality said: ‘With Dusty, I was quite sick at the beginning. But this time round I haven’t been so sick, which is always nice.’
Lacey also admitted that she was so busy with her 18-month-old daughter that she sometimes forgot she was pregnant this time round.
The TV star previously revealed her birthing plans saying that she would love to have a home birth and a water birth.
Lacey and Matt married in 2017 with a wild ceremony in Ibiza, with the partying continuing until 5am.
Speaking to OK! magazine at the time, she revealed: ‘The whole day was amazing. And we felt so much love. It’s incredible; it’s something you’ve never felt before.’
Of her pre-wedding nerves, Lacey confessed: ‘I had a few tiny moments when I panicked, but on the day I couldn’t wait to get down the aisle and marry Matt.’
