Brooke Vincent has given BIRTH to second son with footballer beau Kean Bryan

Brooke Vincent has given birth to her second child, a boy named Monroe S J Bryan, on Tuesday.

The former Coronation Street star, 28, took to Instagram on Thursday to share the happy news by posting an image of her newborn’s feet.

In a gushing caption, she revealed she gave birth to her son Monroe at the same time as their first child Mexx, 8.14am.

She wrote: ‘On the morning of Tuesday 4th May at 8.14am; the exact same time as his big brother .. our little boy came into the world.

‘Monroe S J Bryan you’ve added so much love & happiness to our little family! Me, your daddy & big brother are all besotted with you.’

Brooke revealed the happy news that she was pregnant with her second baby in November, a year after having son Mexx.

The ex Coronation Street star, 28, told OK! it was ‘a perk having them so close together.’

She welcomed her first child, a son called Mexx, with her footballer partner Kean Bryan, 24, in October 2019 and has been dating the Sheffield United ace since 2016. 

Brooke also told the publication she found out she was pregnant when she was five weeks along and decided to keep the baby’s gender a secret.  

The star previously revealed that she and Kean are hoping to expand their brood in the future, joking she wants ‘lots and lots’ of children.

Writing in an Instagram Q and A after Mexx was born, she revealed: ‘I want lots and lots! Haha no I’m joking, I would love maybe 5 or 4 or maybe 3 but I’ll see what happens after 2.’  

Brooke also revealed how she chose the name Mexx for his son, saying she likes the fact he has an ‘unusual’ name.

She said: ‘I’ve always loved it and when we found out we were having a baby, Kean loved it too and wasn’t sure if it was actually a name.

‘But then I looked into it when I was pregnant and it means “the greatest” so for us it was perfect. I love I know nobody else with his name too! I think sometimes it’s nice to have an unusual name.’

Brooke previously confessed she was shocked when she did not snap back into shape after giving birth to her son Mexx last year.

After welcoming Mexx the Corrie actress, who has appeared on the soap since she was 11, admitted she was expecting to shed weight quickly yet was shocked at the outcome. 

Appearing alongside the tot on Loose Women in August 2020, Brooke made the candid confession about her body and her changing shape – something she had previously touched on in a widely-praised Instagram. 

She said: ‘A lot of my friends had children in the past and it’s just one of those things that wasn’t spoken about, you didn’t know you have a baby then however long to get back into your jeans… 

‘Katy Perry put something on Instagram this morning five days after giving birth. You just presume your stomach is going to go down because the baby is out and not inside you’.

She confessed of her pregnancy diet: ‘I have a few months of Deliveroo still knocking about for not bouncing back, one of those things i wasn’t really aware of’.

Talk then turned to an Instagram post shared in November in which she detailed the pressures of motherhood in a candid message.

She admitted she was in tears as she struggled to fit into 23 of her pre-pregnancy outfits while planning to have her ‘first cocktail in 11 months’ with her partner. 

The Manchester native started off her note by revealing she was gearing up to enjoy her first date night since giving birth to Mexx, but opted to stay at home as she felt like a ‘completely different person’. 

Brooke explained: ‘Tonight I was supposed to look completely different, I was supposed to be dressed up, hair and make up done ready to eat some nice food and maybe have my first cocktail in 11 months with Kean. 

‘Our first time away from Mexx for an hour or two, instead I look like this. I look like this because I naively thought that 4 weeks after my baby I would be in all my old clothes looking exactly like I did before I got pregnant.’ [sic]
