Heartbreaking reason Stephanie Davis split with partner just months after giving birth
Stephanie announced the news of their split over the weekend.
Stephanie Davis and her boyfriend seemed the picture of love, so it came as a surprise to many when they split just months after welcoming their son. However, the reason behind their separation has now been revealed.
The soap star left fans in shock over the weekend as she confirmed that she and Joe McKalroy had split, leaving her completely devastated. Steph previously branded Joe "The One", however, the pair have called time on their relationship, four months after Stephanie gave birth to their son, Samuel.
Despite appearing to be the perfect family, reports now claim that Stephanie believed Joe wasn't pulling his weight with the family, sparking tension and arguments which had been ongoing for some time, writes The Mirror.
Joe had stepped in to be the doting step-dad to Stephanie's first son, Caben, throughout their relationship.
"Joe has already moved out of the home he was sharing with Steph," a source said.
They went on to tell The Sun: "It came after weeks of arguments between the couple and it all got too much.
"Essentially, there was a lot of tension as Steph felt like Joe wasn't actually ready to he 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."
On Sunday, Stephanie took to her Instagram to share the news about her split.
It came following weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship after Stephanie failed to acknowledge Joe in a Father's Day post.
The soap star said: "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."
She continued: "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."
Hinting at her past troubled romance with reality star Jeremy McConnell, with whom she shares a seven-year-old son, she went on: "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."
Stephanie went on to write: "I'm grateful for the years we had because without us I wouldn't have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority."
And she concluded: "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."
Stephanie and Joe have been approached for comment.

Netflix fans have less than a week to watch highest rated Rotten Tomatoes film of all time
Netflix is removing one of the highest rated movies of all time which movie fans won't want to miss before it's gone. Netflix fans have been warned that one perfect scoring film is leaving the streaming platform in just a few days time. Leave No Trace has snagged a 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes but viewers have less than a week to watch the film before its taken off the streaming platform on June 30. The 2018 film follows a father and his teenage daughter who live deep in a municipal forest in Portland, Oregon and need to rely on survival skills to make it through their day to day lives. However, after they are seen by a member of public, their world is turned upside down as they are suddenly dragged back into the real world. Will, played by Ben Foster, suffers from PTSD after serving in the armed forces and he and his daughter, Tom, played by Thomasin McKenzie, struggle as they try to adapt to normal life. The movie follows their tumultuous journey after being discovered by authorities living off the grid, exploring their relationship and love itself, without becoming overly sentimental. Directed by Debra Granik, Leave No Trace was the highly anticipated follow-up to Winter's Bone, which featured Jennifer Lawrence in her breakout role, and was released eight years before in 2010, the Mirror reports. Granik also scored another impressive 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes for her documentary Stray Dogs about dog lover, motorbiker and veteran Ron Hall. Granik's double achievement is highly admirable considering the 100 per cent approval rating does not come around often. In fact only 68 films can claim the honour and when you think about how many movies exist, it makes the accolade that much more impressive. Only two titles from 2024 have made the list including All We Imagine as Light by Payal Kapadia, and Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Other famous films that have managed to snag a perfect score include Toy Story, Two Story Two, 12 Angry Men, Before Sunrise, Singin' in the Rain, Cool Hand Luke, The Terminator and Pinocchio. Leave No Trace has 252 reviews and they were all positive with one critic writing: "Leave No Trace, in the biggest of ironies, leaves the greatest of traces upon us." Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an d get the latest news sent straight to your messages Another penned: "Leave No Trace is further evidence Granik is one of the most talented directors around - and Ben Foster ranks among the finest and most intense actors working today." A third remarked about the film: "Granik is one of the most distinctive filmmaking voices we have; I'd love to see her make more features but I'm also glad she takes the time to do them right." Leave No Trace is set to leave Netflix in just a few days time so viewers need to be fast if they want to catch the film before it goes.
