Stephanie Davis' cryptic post seemingly confirms Joe McKalroy romance is over
Rumours have swirled since Father's Day that Stephanie Davis and Joe McKalroy are no longer dating - and a new social media post form the soap star appeared to confirm the news
Stephanie Davis has sparked speculation her romance with boyfriend Joe McKalroy has come to an end after sharing a cryptic social media post. The 32-year-old soap star shares a five-month-old son named Samuel with partner Joe.
The couple first got together in 2022 and appeared to be a happy family unit - however, reports emerged around Father's Day this month that the relationship had come to an end. While the couple have not yet commented on the status of their romance, fans fear silence could be confirming everything.
Taking to social media on Saturday, Stephanie shared a video montage of herself with Samuel - but didn't mention Joe while opening up about her love for her son. Fans are speculating that in snubbing Joe she has all but confirmed their romance is over.
Stephanie wrote: "This Day 5 months ago you came into this world. Only 5 months old today ( I know he's still a tiny baby) It's crazy to think he's not been out in this world as long as he was in my tummy.
"From nearly losing you in the beginning, the worst pregnancy, C.Diff, I couldn't walk with pelvic girdle trapped in the house for months & months.
"A terrible birth, then lifting doing every night feed lifting after a C-section , then your breathing episodes which was the scariest time of my life, it's been a long hard traumatic road."
She continued: "But here you are thriving my miracle my rainbow, my world. Everything I do is for you and your brother and I will always be here every single day for you, cheering you on.
"I'm so lucky getting to watch you grow every single day by your side into the most beautiful little boy. It's so sad I don't have many photos of me and you bar selfies I've taken, but from now on I'll make sure we have many together."
She concluded: "You will always be my priority. I love you baby." The Mirror has contacted a representative of Stephanie for comment.
On Father's Day, Stephanie sparked alarm that her relationship with Joe was over as she issued a statement about father's day. She took to social media to pay tribute to her own father - without mentioning the father's of her children.
The Hollyoaks star praised her dad for being there for her and her two sons, writing: "There aren't many men like you."
Fans were quick to speculate on the post at the time, with one writing: "Where's Joe?" in the comments section. Another wrote: "I think they have split up".
And another fan simply wrote: "Hope you and joe are OK." Stephanie previously had a high profile relationship with reality star Jeremy McConnell who she met via Celebrity Big Brother.
She welcomed their son in January 2017, however the relationship collapsed soon after. From 2018 until 2019, Stephanie had a relationship with her Hollyoaks colleague Owen Warner.

Dua Lipa fans 'beyond livid' as Charli XCX joins her on stage at Wembley gig
Dua Lipa fans are livid after the Training Season hit-maker chose to bring Charli XCX on stage as her special guest during the second night of her sold-out Wembley stadium gigs. Dua, 29, made sure to pull out all the stops for her first night at the iconic venue on Friday night with a special guest appearance from Jamiroquai. The chart-topping songstress and Jamiroquai performed an incredible duet of the 1996 hit, Virtual Insanity, for her Radical Optimism tour. Vocalist Jay Kay was rocking a classic black hat with a purple trim and a white fringe jacket for the surprise performance, along with purple trousers. Fans were over the moon with the shock guest and rushed to social media to share their excitement, with one user revealing they "wish" they were at the concert in London to witness the duet. However, when fans got wind that 360 hit-maker Charli xcx was the special guest on Saturday, they were riddled with envy as they complained that they were 'robbed' of a bigger and more current artist the night before. On social media, several fans who attended the Wembley gig on Friday fumed that Jamiroquai wasn't as good of a match as Charli. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, one fan said: "The balance just feels off. Yes, Jamiroquai is a big artist who has sold millions of records, but when he popped out on stage you could just feel that tinge of disappointment in the air. There had been rumours that Adele would be her special guest, and other names like Raye and Harry Styles were thrown around too." The unimpressed concert-goer continued: "The majority of Dua's fans are young - like Gen Z's and even younger - so when an artist from the 90s came out on stage, it just kind of felt like the wrong choice. Don't get me wrong it was an amazing performance and Dua killed the vocals while singing with him, but to find out that someone as HUGE as Charli was lined-up for the second night, just seems a bit unfair. People are bound to be absolutely livid." It comes after the Kosovo-born singer was overcome with emotion as she fulfilled her ultimate dream during her performance at Wembley on Friday night. The global mega-star has had a fast rise to fame since she first emerged in the music industry, and she's showing no signs of slowing down. On Friday, she headlined Wembley Stadium for the first time on the first of two nights at the home of English football, before moving on to Anfield in Liverpool. But the British and Albanian star couldn't believe what was happening as she addressed the sold-out crowd who'd flocked to north-west London to see her perform. Fans had been camping out at the stadium since Thursday, hoping to get to the very front row to see their idol deliver her biggest hits. Addressing the crowd, Dua said: "It means the absolute world to me that you're here tonight. It feels really special to be here today." The Levitating songstress continued: "It's been ten years since our first ever London show, which happened to be about 350 people, and I dreamt of a night like this that I get to be in front of 70,000 people. I'm so, so blown away." Dua, who joins a small club of female solo artists to headline the stadium, reflected on her career, admitting she believes one song changed her life, after she was signed to her management and record label. That song was Hotter Than Hell, which was fitting as the UK enjoyed its hottest day of the year. .

Moullier said: 'It's pretty surreal to join EastEnders – it keeps hitting me that I'm actually on Albert Square. 'When I found out I was joining the Brannings, it was so exciting as they are such an iconic family, and I love that there are so many skeletons in the closet. 'Oscar is so much fun to play, and the audience should be prepared for the unexpected as he's a complex guy.' Producers have kept the reason for his return secret, but say it will be revealed when his older sister, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), receives a mysterious call, with Oscar's return set to 'turn her life upside down'. EastEnders new executive producer Ben Wadey, said: 'I'm very excited to bring Oscar Branning back to Walford and introduce viewers to him now that he's all grown up.

Oscar last appeared in the show when he visited Max on Father's Day in 2017, before returning to Exeter, where he lived with his mother. The character is expected to return to Albert Square next month, with Moullier already filming scenes for the show.

Huge EastEnders character to return after eight years played by new actor
BBC EastEnders has issued a major update as an iconic character returns to Albert Square. Soap fans are used to the tumult of favourite characters coming and going. But one major BBC EastEnders update seems likely to delight viewers. It's been revealed that an iconic character will return to Albert Square after eight years off screen - Oscar Branning. The son of Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner) will return to the BBC soap aged 17 and will be played by Pierre Moullier, having previously been portrayed by Gabriel Miller-Williams, Neo Hall and Charlee Hall. Moullier said: 'It's pretty surreal to join EastEnders – it keeps hitting me that I'm actually on Albert Square. 'When I found out I was joining the Brannings, it was so exciting as they are such an iconic family, and I love that there are so many skeletons in the closet.

Oscar last appeared in the show when he visited Max on Father's Day in 2017, before returning to Exeter, where he lived with his mother. The character is expected to return to Albert Square next month, with Moullier already filming scenes for the show. Earlier this month we reported the return of another show legend - Zoe Slater, played by Michelle Ryan. The star reprised her role as Zoe after 20 years off screen, returning to Albert Square in the June 16 episode. Her character's exit came after one of the most iconic scenes in recent history, when she screamed at Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) in the middle of the square "you ain't my muvva." To which Kat emotionally responded: "Yes I am," revealing she wasn't her sister as she'd always thought, but her biological mum. Ryan's appearance marked her first since departing Albert Square back in 2005 and was the first of three last week. The BBC has confirmed that Ryan will return full-time later in the summer.
