Sam Reece has "no contact" with Stephanie Davis – but thinks she’ll be "fine" raising her unborn child on her own.
The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star dumped the 23-year-old model earlier this year after she struck up a romance with her housemate Jeremy McConnell, with whom she claims she’s expecting a baby, and, although they ended on bad terms, he wishes her all the best for the future.
Speaking to the Daily Star Online, Sam said: "I’ve not spoken to Steph for most of the year – we have no contact at all. The last time I spoke to her was the day she walked into Big Brother. I wish her all the best. She does have family behind her so she’ll be fine."
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star announced she was expecting a child with Jeremy earlier this month but the Irish heartthrob is adamant he can’t be the father of the tot because Stephanie had her period, which doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not pregnant as some women still bleed when they’re carrying, after they had ended their romance.
He said recently: "Look, if she is pregnant it’s not my kid. She had her period."
But, although he’s certain in his mind that he hasn’t got a little one on the way, the 26-year-old hunk wants to have a DNA test done once the baby has arrived into the world.
He explained: "If I was a dad, I’d be 100 per cent no, 110 per cent, the best dad in the world. But you’ll see in the future that it’s not my kid, and she’ll look like a mug."
Stephanie publicly lashed out at Jeremy two weeks ago after he failed to turn up for her pre-natal appointment and allegedly put her under so much stress that she required medical treatment in hospital for "pains."
She wrote on Twitter at the time: "I think it’s disgusting that Jeremy hasn’t turned up to scans and is constantly drunk and partying, the stress he has me under I’ve already been in hospital once with pains and stress.
"I don’t hate the lad I feel very VERY sorry him the fact that no one is getting him the help he needs. His managed should have him rehab and sorting his life out so he can be there for his child before he dies (sic)."
Meanwhile, the pair’s romance has been the hot topic of conversation for the past six months as they’ve been plagued with a love triangle, squabbles and cheating claims.
They initially met while locked in the ‘CBB’ infamous house back in January but after months of on/off dating, their romance appeared to come to a halt late last month.
