Coronation Street star Kate Spencer has confirmed the arrival of her first child, a baby boy named Zach, with her fiancé Paul Walker. The actress, best known for her role as the villainous Grace Vickers on the ITV soap, shared the heartwarming news with her Instagram followers on Tuesday evening.
Posting a heart-melting photo of the newborn and revealing his name, Kate wrote: “Baby Zach burst into the world last week, and safe to say, we are utterly besotted. Life will never be the same again, and for that, we are eternally grateful.” The couple couldn’t be happier as they embrace the joy of their new addition to the family.
The actress, who announced her pregnancy back in October, has been feeling incredibly blessed as she embarks on the next chapter of her life. In a recent post, she expressed her excitement and gratitude: “19 weeks of loving you, forever to go! Hugely grateful, blessed, and unbelievably excited to welcome the next generation of the Walkers into our family in March 2026.”
Kate, who made history on Coronation Street as part of the first black family to appear on the show, had already hinted at her growing excitement about her pregnancy. She and Paul, a professional boxer, tied the knot in 2022 and have enjoyed a fairytale romance ever since.
The couple’s love story took a magical turn when Paul proposed to Kate in June 2021 at a steak restaurant. Paul pulled off the perfect proposal, getting down on one knee in the most intimate and heartfelt way, and Kate shared the moment with her fans, gushing about how everything fell into place perfectly.
“I can’t believe where we have ended up after 23 years of friendship,” Kate said at the time. Their love for each other has only grown stronger, and now with baby Zach in their arms, the pair is ready to start their family’s new chapter.
With the birth of their son, Kate and Paul are clearly thrilled. The actress has openly shared her joy about becoming a mother and has already started documenting her new life with baby Zach on social media. From the proposal to the pregnancy announcement and now to welcoming their baby, Kate’s journey is truly one for the books.
Life for Kate and Paul has taken a stunning turn, and with baby Zach’s arrival, it seems like their love story has reached the most beautiful chapter yet.
