Julia Goulding has welcomed her first child, a healthy baby boy.
The Coronation Street actress, 34, took to Instagram to confirm that she'd become a mum and revealed that she's named her son Franklin Wolf Silver.
Little Franklin was born on November 30 and the soap star shared a picture of herself in early labour when she went for a walk with her husband Ben Silver.
In the snap the then parents-to-be wrapped up warm as they walked through the woods together.
Julia captioned the photo: "Thank you to the lovely couple in the park who took this picture for us.
"Taken as I was in early labour on my due date.
"The next day Ben and I welcomed our baby son into the world. Franklin Wolf Silver born on 30/11/19.
"He's changed our lives for the better in every way. I feel like I've known him my whole life."
Julia announced her pregnancy back in May just a few months after they got married.
The actress, who plays Shona Ramsey in the ITV soap, said: "Ben and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our first baby at the end of this year!
"We are absolutely overjoyed and can’t wait to meet our little one!"
Julia, who is the on-screen lover of Jack P Shepherd's character David Platt, and teacher Ben tied the knot on stage in Manchester’s Albert Hall in February.
She told OK! Magazine : "I love being on stage and I always wanted to get married on one."
Julia had been dating Ben for three years, when he proposed to her on his 30th birthday, and they decided to keep it secret for 10 months.
