Coronation Street actress Paula Lane has welcomed her third child, whom she describes as a long-awaited addition to the family. The Emmerdale star, aged 39, shared heartwarming photos of her newborn son, named Patrick, dressed in a cozy blue knitted outfit and hat, cuddled by his delighted parents and their furry companion.
Sharing the sweet moments on social media, Paula captioned the images with a message expressing her overwhelming love for little Patrick. In another post on Instagram Stories, her husband, Tom Shaw, is seen cradling the newborn while holding a bottle of whiskey labeled ‘Paddy’ to mark the special occasion.
Known for her role as Ella Forster in Emmerdale, Paula received an outpouring of well wishes from her celebrity friends following the birth of her son. Co-star Amy Walsh from Emmerdale congratulated the couple, while Lisa Riley from I’m A Celebrity sent love and blessings to the growing family.
Paula and Tom had announced their pregnancy last summer with an Instagram post hinting at the baby’s arrival in December. The announcement, which featured a sonogram surrounded by cards for their older children, received a lot of positivity from followers.
Already parents to son Arthur and daughter Penny, Paula and Tom are now embracing the journey of parenthood with their newest arrival, Patrick. Colleagues and friends, including fellow Emmerdale actors, expressed their excitement and happiness for the expanding family.
In her acting career, Paula is best known for her role as Kylie on Coronation Street, where she portrayed the character who had a dramatic storyline that concluded tragically in 2016. Despite the on-screen drama, Paula’s real-life joy over the birth of her third child has brought happiness to those around her.
