Corrie’s Alex Bain, 17, 'splits from girlfriend' five months after baby's birth

Coronation Street star Alex Bain, 17, has reportedly split from his girlfriend just five months after they welcomed a daughter together.

Alex, who plays Simon Barlow in the ITV soap, and his high school sweet heart Levi Selby, 17, became parents to a little girl in December.

The baby, named Lydia-Rose, arrived shortly after the pair both sat their GCSE exams.

However, The Sun reports the relationship has now crumbled and the pair are no longer together.

There's even claims that new mum Levi, from Blackburn, is now dating someone else.

A source told the publication: "It’s a shame they couldn’t make the relationship work but they’ve gone their separate ways.

"They’re both now just trying to move on but they absolutely adore their daughter."

The pair started dating in April last year and news of the baby spread after Alex told friends at his school in Lancashire.

It had been reported in July that they split but Alex denied the break up and Levi, also 17, posted a picture of her 12-week baby scan on Facebook.

The news they were expecting broke in May, when Alex and his girlfriend were still 16.

Levi announced the news on her Facebook page by sharing a picture of her 12-week scan.

She captioned it "December 8", seemingly revealing the due date of their child.

Her mum, Judith Calvert, excitedly shared the baby scan on her own Facebook page, telling her friends "Call me Granny Walton".

The baby arrived on December 2.

Alex has been part of the Coronation Street cast for 10 years, and won Best Young Performance at the British Soap Awards in 2011 for his portrayal of Peter Barlow's son and Ken Barlow's grandson.
