Former Hollyoaks star, Stephanie Davis, has revealed the heartbreaking reason behind her recent split from boyfriend Joe McKalroy, just months after welcoming their newborn son. Stephanie shocked fans over the weekend when she confirmed the end of their relationship, a partnership she once described as finding "The One."
Only four months after the birth of their son, Samuel, the couple's seemingly picture-perfect romance came to an unexpected halt. Their social media feeds had painted a picture of a loving, united family, but behind closed doors, it is reported that tensions were brewing.
Insiders suggest that Stephanie grew increasingly frustrated as she felt Joe wasn't sharing the responsibilities of family life equally, causing ongoing disagreements. Despite Joe's devoted role as a stepfather to Stephanie's eldest son, Caben, the pressure and strain proved too much to overcome.

"In essence, there was a lot of tension as Steph felt like Joe wasn't actually ready to be a dad and wasn't pulling his weight. It's really sad, especially with a new baby, but Steph is just focusing on her boys now.", reports the Mirror.
On Sunday, Stephanie took to her Instagram to share the news that she and Joe had decided to part ways.
The soap actress felt compelled to confront the rumours swirling around her relationship after not mentioning Joe in a Father's Day tribute. She shared: "Never in a million years did I think I'd be writing this. I've been left with no choice but to address the rumours.
"This has come as a complete shock and has been an incredibly painful and unexpected time. Just four months after having a baby - one of the most vulnerable and emotional times in a woman's life - I've found myself facing this chapter on my own."
Stephanie hinted towards her difficult history with Jeremy McConnell, father to her seven year old son. She said: "After everything I've been through in the past, I truly believed I'd finally found my happiness - something secure and lasting. But that, heartbreakingly, hasn't been the case."
Fans were devastated to hear about the shocking split

In her statement, Stephanie expressed gratitude for the good times because they led to her son Samuel: "I'm grateful for the years we had because without us I wouldn't have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority."
She wrapped up by saying: "Right now, I'm focusing on healing, protecting my peace, and doing the best I can - being there for my two beautiful boys. Thank you to those who've reached out - your kindness has meant more than I can say. Stephanie X."
Notably, on Father's Day, Stephanie chose to post only about her father and her journey with Samuel, omitting any reference to Joe, with whom she has recently split.

Tragic last vid shows tourist, 26, smiling next to pal at summit before deadly plunge in active volcano crater
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TRAGIC footage shows a tourist, 26, smiling and joking with her pal before fatally falling into an active volcano crater. Juliana Marins slipped and plunged more than 1,600 feet from a hiking trail along the crater rim of Mount Rinjani on Saturday morning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 The publicist and dancer had been backpacking though Southeast Asia 10 Juliana and her pal Federica joked about the cloud covered view at the top of Mount Rinjani 10 The 26-year-old survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and dancer from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, was trapped for four days after she fell while trekking up Indonesia's second-highest volcano. She had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February, documenting her solo trip on social media. In heartbreaking footage, shared by a pal she met along her travels, Juliana could be seen joking and dancing in the days before her death. More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old showing off the stunning vistas while riding on mopeds. Other shots revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes and exploring caverns. In a tragic last video, Juliana and her friend Frederica, jibed about the view at the top of Mount Rinjani as it had been concealed by cloud cover. "I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both traveling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult. We climbed about 1,500 meters," Federica told G1 after the horror. In the clip Federica says sarcastically: "The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it." Juliana jokes: "Yeh, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!". This comes as distressing drone footage was also released which revealed Juliana trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers tried to reach her. Tourists on the Indonesian island of Lombok spotted her inside the crater after hearing screams for help. Juliana survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries and had no access to food, water or shelter. The first rescue team was dispatched at 2.32pm local time on Saturday. After the initial alarm was raised, six more rescue teams tried to reach her. They were supported by two helicopters and equipment including an industrial drill. Cold temperatures and fog made search efforts on Sunday harder to navigate but a drone was able to locate Juliana. 10 A video shared by Juliana showed her dancing with pals on her travels Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 Other shots in the video revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old riding on mopeds Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins However, when rescuers descended the volcano on Monday, she was no longer in the same spot. Rescuers finally located her on Tuesday, but it was tragically too late. Her family confirmed her death on social media, writing: "Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. "With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive. "We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received." Earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, said Juliana was hiking in a group and fell after suffering fatigue. He said: "While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest. "Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey. "However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing." Indonesian authorities deployed three helicopters to try and rescue Juliana, according to West Nusa Tenggara governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal. Iqbal told reporters: 'One helicopter from the Indonesian Armed Forces and national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) is expected to arrive at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) around 2pm local time today.' Before the incident, Juliana had visited Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. 10 In distressing drone footage, Juliana is seen trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers try to reach her 10 The young woman tragically died while hiking up Mount Rinjani 10 The search for Juliana was hampered by fog

Justin Bieber turns to son Jack for comfort as marriage woes with Hailey deepen
As rumors swirl around Justin and Hailey Bieber's marriage, a heartfelt post from the singer and a candid interview from the model have painted a more complex picture behind the scenes Justin Bieber is focusing on his nine-month-old son Jack Blues, sharing a touching photo on Instagram just hours after Hailey Bieber stepped out in New York without her wedding ring. In the black-and-white image, their baby reaches for Justin's ear while he gently holds his hand. Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship, Hailey liked the post - a subtle show of support. Fans filled the comments with encouragement. 'Jack is the most important person in your life,' one user wrote. Another added, 'Good dad. You are a survivor, you are brave,' while a third chimed in, 'Sending you nothing but good energy and positive vibes, bro.' The post came shortly after Justin shared a video clip to his Stories on Sunday, featuring a voiceover saying: 'B** if you're giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why! I have anxiety and I have overthinking left and right they go hand-in-hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error!' Fans quickly assumed the message was aimed at Hailey, especially as she'd recently been spotted without her ring multiple times. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Justin has been 'irritated by Hailey,' claiming she 'can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye.' Meanwhile, Hailey is reportedly frustrated by his 'lack of motivation,' and the couple is 'not good,' though still hopeful things can improve. Despite current tension, the couple has spoken warmly of each other in recent interviews. Last month, Justin told Vogue: 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey. I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' Hailey echoed his sentiment, saying Justin calls her a 'superhero' and describing motherhood as 'my biggest teacher so far. The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' Justin praised her multitasking talents, writing: '[Hailey is] in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.' In the same Vogue feature, Hailey opened up about the difficult birth of their son last August, which included 18 hours of labor, no epidural, and a frightening postpartum hemorrhage. 'That st was so crazy,'** she said. 'That was not fun… I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.' She added: 'I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind… I trust my doctor with my life. But it was a little bit scary.' Hailey also addressed how postpartum life and public scrutiny have affected her: 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through… learning a new version of myself is very difficult. And doing that while seeing divorce rumors online? It's a mindfk. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.'
