Welsh West End star Sophie Evans has excitingly announced the arrival of her second child with rugby player husband, Ellis Jenkins. Known for her standout performances in musicals like Wicked and The Wizard of Oz, Sophie shared the heart warming news with her followers on social media through a witty Instagram post.
Sophie and Ellis, who already share a son, Jack, born in December 2022, were eagerly awaiting the birth of their second child. The couple, who have been together for over a decade, have been vocal about their excitement throughout the pregnancy, offering fans a glimpse into their journey.
On April 18, Sophie posted an update on Instagram, revealing that the day marked her due date.

Fans eagerly awaited the big announcement, but it seemed the baby had decided to keep everyone on their toes.

Despite the anticipation, the days stretched on, and it wasn't until ten days after her due date that Sophie confirmed the arrival of their baby.

Sophie and Ellis' relationship is one that has evolved over the years. The couple first met when they were both just 18 years old, and their bond has only grown stronger since. Speaking to WalesOnline in the past, Sophie shared that despite their deep connection, they've faced their fair share of challenges.
"When we were about 23 or 24, we went separate ways for just over a year and then realised, 'you are the love of my life' and we are meant to be together. The rest is history," she recalled. Their reunion only reaffirmed their commitment to one another, and they've been inseparable ever since.
The couple chose to marry in Cardiff, opting for an intimate ceremony in their home country over a grand destination wedding. Sophie explained that while they initially considered getting married in Spain, they discovered that the legal requirements would make it too complicated. "I didn't realise that you can't really get officially legally married in Spain and you have to do a lot of things to be able to do that so I thought, let's just do the legal side here and go to the registry [sic] office and then we'll have the wedding in Ibiza," she said.
What started as a simple plan turned into a much larger celebration, and Sophie reflected on how they made the most of their day: "It became a bit more of a thing and I thought, if we're having a day in Cardiff then we may as well make it a bit more of a celebration."
Fans will no doubt continue to follow along as the couple embarks on this new chapter with their second child.

Liam's late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28. Since Natasha's sudden death, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson. Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started.

The sweet sign of approval by Joely comes after Pamela shared she how she impressed Liam with her homemade cooking, more specifically, sourdough bread and muffins. While she is highly known for her iconic red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela is also a renowned cook and has even brought out her own cookbook. I Love You: Recipes From The Heart was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award. At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set..."

According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela's Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking. A source revealed to DailyMail: 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.

Love Island fans horrified by 'disgusting sex scenes' between Meg and Dejon
ITV viewers have slammed steamy bedroom scenes of Megan and Dejon tonight as 'disgusting' and 'too much' after they kissed and made up following their latest spat Love Island viewers have been left horrified by some very raunchy bedroom scenes between official couple Meg and Dejon tonight. After kissing and making up following their huge spat after date night, Meg and Dejon were filmed getting hot and steamy under the blankets, but viewers were less than impressed as they called the scenes 'disgusting'. Taking to X, horrified fans shared their stern opinions on the villa's least favourite couple this season. It comes after it was revealed that one couple will be ordered to leave the villa just hours before the big ITV final. "Every time love island shows meg & dejon getting busy under the sheets an angel loses its wings," one viewer quipped. Another echoed: "Seriously mug and mustard need to chill it in the bedroom. idk how the others do it. I understand its love island blah blah blah. but like you CAN feel uncomfortable when someone is doing the tango in the same room as you." "Six minutes into today's episode and Dejon has mentioned the fact he's on Love Island and Meg has said 'but we're boyfriend and girlfriend now.' Get them out. WHY ALWAYS WITH THE BLOODY SEX SCENES TOO," another viewer raged. Someone else quipped: "OMG!! That was literally like soft porn. Why do we need to see this. Nobody needs to see Meg doing the business." As we get ready for the semi-final of one of the most dramatic series of Love Island yet, two more islanders will be brutally dumped from the villa as they get voted off by their former friends and foes, who aren't holding back. One couple won't be making it to the final of the show, as ITV 's latest teaser revealed a dramatic scene showing all the former islanders returning to the iconic villa one last time to make a huge decision. ITV took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, along with the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Maya Jama appears to have returned to Mallorca one last time as she gets ready for the final and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, the presenter announces: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining islanders are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel and Meg and Dejon. Maya informs them: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." The returning islanders included Sophie Lee, who entered at the start of the series and was the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy, who was previously one of the favourites to win the show but was dumped by Shakira. The latest teaser sent fans into a frenzy with many of them predicting who will be the couple dumped. One viewer commented: 'Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up', while another added: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' A third shared their thoughts and wrote: 'For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof'. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
