Last updated 8th Feb 2021
Following the birth of her baby girl Dusty back in 2019, EastEnders actress Lacey Turner has now welcomed her second child into the world with her husband Matt Kay!
Lacey, who plays the role of Stacey Slater in the popular BBC soap, announced her lovely news via OK! Magazine over the weekend, confirming she gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Wednesday 3rd February.
Although the happy couple didn't reveal any details of their son's name, Lacey and Matt did confirm he weighed 6lbs.
Speaking to the publication via a statement, Lacey said, "Matt and I are so completely besotted with our early surprise and Dusty is so in love. How lucky we all are!"
Lacey and Matt confirmed they were expecting their second child back in September 2020, calling it a 'miracle' after previously suffering two heartbreaking miscarriages before the birth of their first child back in 2019.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, the 32-year-old Lacey said, "We feel so lucky to be expecting our second baby, as it took so long to get Dusty."
Matt added, "We didn’t know if it was going to take years again so it was an amazing surprise. When Lacey told me, I was so happy. Having Dusty was the best thing that ever happened to us, so to have another baby is only going to be amazing."
