They did not confirm the due date, simply teasing that their baby is due ‘soon’, nor have they yet announced their first child’s gender.
In a caption, Isabelle simply gushed: ‘In our Mum & Dad Era.’
Mike’s Emmerdale co-stars were quick to flock to the comments section to share their congratulations with the happy couple.
Michelle Harwick wrote: ‘Absolutely beautiful,’ while Anthony Quinlan penned: ‘Loads of love and congratulations.’
Brad Riches quipped: ‘Mum and dad are hella sexy,’ and Hollyoaks’ Roxanne McKee added: ‘Awwww just GAWJUS!!’
Mike revealed in October that he was in a new relationship but kept the identity of his girlfriend a secret.
He told The Mirror at the time: ‘I’m in a very happy relationship. She’s amazing and has been very supportive.’
He previously dated his co-star Isabelle Hodgins – who plays Victoria Sugden on the soap – but the pair parted ways back in 2019.

Mike played the role of villain Ross Barton on Emmerdale from 2013 until 2018, but he has recently reprised his role
Mike played the role of villain Ross Barton on Emmerdale from 2013 until 2018, and he has recently reprised his role.
After his debut on the show, he quickly became a fan favourite for his portrayal of the complex-but-charismatic Ross.
The actor said he was ‘bored’ just two months after his departure in 2018 due to being out of work, and reappeared on screen at the end of 2024.
Ross was known for his tumultuous relationships with Donna Windsor and Debbie Dingle, and his departure followed a horrific acid attack which left him battling depression.
Of his return, Michael said: ‘I’m over the moon to be returning to Emmerdale. Ross is a character I’m extremely fond of and I’m excited to explore what he’s been up to over the past five years.
‘After seeing the scripts, I can’t wait for the audience to see what’s in store. One thing I can say is Ross’s return will no doubt create fireworks.’
