Emmerdale star Amy Walsh and EastEnders actor Toby-Alexander Smith unveiled the sweet name of their baby Bonnie Mae.
They welcomed their first child together, a baby girl, on December 27.
In a gushing interview, the new dad lifted the lid on how the couple settled on the name Bonnie for their daughter.
The actor, who plays Gray Atkins, told OK! magazine: “We’d go on walks around the lake where Amy used to live in Leeds during lockdown and talk about names.
“Bonnie was one that came up really early, even before Amy was pregnant.”
The actress, who plays Tracy Metcalfe in the soap, added: “Whenever we hypothetically talked about our family, we always said “our little Bonnie”.”
Already the happy couple have been settling into their role as parents easily.
The dad gushed about how the pair were a “really good team” and they were always meant to be parents.
“We’ve always been a really good team anyway and I think Bonnie coming along has shown that we’re meant to be parents together, because we’re finding our roles,” he added.
Soap worlds collided when the couple fell madly in love with each other after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing two years ago.
