‘Truth’ behind Stephanie Davis’ split from partner four months after welcoming baby
Their son Samuel was born in January…
New mum Stephanie Davis told fans she had split from partner Joseph McKalroy earlier this week, and now the ‘truth’ behind the break-up has apparently been revealed.
The news came just four months after the pair welcomed a baby boy.
Soap star Stephanie, 32, became a mum for the second time in January to son Samuel. “We are totally in our baby bubble,” the former Hollyoaks favourite told followers a few days after the birth. Meanwhile, dad Joe revealed on Instagram that the birth had been a “traumatic experience”, but both he and Stephanie were glad their boy was “finally in our arms”.
However, less than six months on, Stephanie confirmed the end of her relationship on social media.

She wrote: “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.

‘I truly believed I’d finally found my happiness’
An emotional Stephanie 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.
“I’m grateful for the years we had because without us I wouldn’t have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority.”
Stephanie added: “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.”
‘Wasn’t pulling his weight’
Stephanie’s statement came after concerns about their romance after she failed to mention Joe on Father’s Day, despite paying tribute to her own dad.
Now, a source has claimed that Stephanie asked Joe to move out of her home after feeling that he wasn’t ready for fatherhood.
Speaking to The Sun, the insider alleged: “Joe has already moved out of the home he was sharing with Steph. 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.”

When did Stephanie Davis start dating her former partner?
Stephanie and Joseph are believed to have been together since 2022.
Before having Samuel, Stephanie opened up to OK! in 2024 about previously suffering a miscarriage. But when she became pregnant with Samuel, he was dubbed the couple’s “miracle baby”.
She recalled of the moment they found they would be having a son: “Joe never cries, so when he started that set me off. We were just sobbing on each other. Then the nurse in the room started crying, too.”

Meanwhile, in early April, Stephanie – also mum to seven-year-old son Caben – shared how she’d endured the ‘scariest time of her life’ after Samuel was rushed to hospital.
She explained at the time: “Samuel stopped breathing and had three scary episodes. I’ve felt totally helpless and powerless the past few days.”
