Emmerdale star Danny Miller has shared the joyful news that he and his wife, Steph Jones, are expecting their third child. The couple, who are already parents to son Albert and daughter Edith, took to Instagram to make the announcement, delighting fans and followers alike.
A Heartfelt Announcement
The 34-year-old actor posted a series of family photos on Instagram, including a touching image of Steph displaying her baby bump. The caption read, “Thee is the magic number,” a playful nod to the couple’s expanding family. The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow actors, celebrating the couple’s growing brood.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Danny and Steph’s relationship is a heartwarming tale of childhood sweethearts reuniting. The pair first met in primary school and reconnected years later, eventually marrying in 2022. Their journey from school friends to life partners has been a source of inspiration for many, showcasing a deep bond that has stood the test of time.
From On-Screen Drama to Real-Life Joy
Best known for his role as Aaron Dingle on the ITV soap Emmerdale, Danny has been a staple on the show since 2008, with a brief hiatus between 2012 and 2014. His portrayal of Aaron, a character with a complex and often tumultuous storyline, has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
In 2021, Danny took a break from the Dales to participate in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, where he emerged as the winner. Despite his success on the reality show, Danny has reassured fans that he has no plans to leave Emmerdale again, humorously citing his responsibilities as a father and homeowner as motivation to stay.
Embracing Fatherhood
Danny’s journey into fatherhood began with the birth of their son, Albert, in 2021. The couple chose the name Albert as a tribute to Steph’s grandfather, a decision that held special significance for both. “I’ve loved the name from when I was a kid,” Danny shared in an interview. “Steph’s granddad was called Albert, but when we were in school, I just knew him as Steph’s granddad, so when I suggested it, I didn’t know it was her granddad’s name.”
The couple welcomed their second child, daughter Edith, in 2023. Danny shared the news on Instagram with a heartfelt message: “When three becomes four. Welcome to the World Baby Miller. We all love you more than you’ll ever know.”
A Family in the Spotlight
Danny and Steph have been open about their family life, often sharing glimpses into their experiences as parents on social media. Their candid posts have resonated with fans, offering a relatable and authentic look at the joys and challenges of raising young children.
In a recent interview, Danny praised Steph for normalising breastfeeding during a television appearance, expressing his admiration for her dedication and strength. “We had such a beautiful day today down at Loose Women talking all about life as a family of four and having two under two!” he wrote on Instagram. “I wanted to take this moment to say how incredibly proud I am of my wife Steph—the most incredible mother—for flying the breastfeeding flag and showing how when it’s needed, nothing comes before it.”
Looking Ahead
As Danny and Steph prepare to welcome their third child, they continue to embrace the adventure of parenthood with enthusiasm and love. Their growing family serves as a testament to their enduring partnership and shared commitment to nurturing a warm and supportive home.
Fans of Emmerdale and followers of the couple’s journey eagerly await further updates, celebrating alongside them as they embark on this new chapter. With Danny’s continued presence on the beloved soap and their expanding family, the Millers’ story remains one of inspiration and heartfelt connection.
