Pregnancy has brought Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden closer together.
The ‘Emmerdale’ co-stars are expecting their second child together this year after a turbulent period in their lives and Charley, 27, said they couldn’t be happier.
She told OK! magazine: "This pregnancy has definitely given us an even stronger bond."
Charley and Matthew, 35, first started dating in 2008 and got engaged in 2009.
However, three years after the birth of Buster, the couple split in 2013 before getting back together after staying friends.
And now they are back on track with Matthew revealing he hopes this second baby won’t be their last.
He said: "We’ve always said we want a big family – I want my five-a-side football team – but that may change after the second one!"
And since Buster, five, is hoping for a little brother, the couple would be happy if this baby is a boy.
Charley said: "He’s so desperate for a little brother, so we’re kind of hoping we get a boy. I think there’s something really special about having two of the same.
"It would be great to have a boy now and then a girl in the future. That would be perfect.
Speaking about having children together, Matthew said: "Having a child changes the dynamic of your relationship, but in a nice way. You have to become a team, which is a lovely thing."
