Brooke Vincent is expecting her first child.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star has confessed she is "beside herself with happiness" after she found out she and her partner Kean Bryan are to become parents.
She said: "I always worried it wouldn’t happen for me – I’m beside myself with happiness. … We’re both each other’s biggest fans and having a baby together will add an extra bond. Kean brings out the best in me and it makes me so excited that we’re on this journey together. I like to think I’m the boss of our relationship but Kean has a really wise head on his shoulders, so I know he’ll be a brilliant dad."
And the 26-year-old actress wants to wait before finding out the gender of the baby, but she has decided who she wants at the birth of her little one.
She said: "We want the gender to be surprise, which has amazed all my friends because I’m usually so impatient. I think it’s a boy … I know I want Kean and my mum in the delivery room with me but that’s all I’ve decided."
Brooke is excited to become a mum in her mid-20s as her mother also had her when she was young and she loves the "close relationship" they share.
She said: "My mum had me when she as 24 and we have a really close relationship so I’m hoping that will happen for me. If I’m half the mother my mum is then I’ll be happy."
The brunette star would love to get married to Kean one day.
She told OK! magazine: "I’d love to get married, Kean and I speak about it, but we are concentrating on the baby for the foreseeable."
