Steph is a very proud mum to her little girl

The 39-year-old star has never shared the name of her daughter, nor the identity of her girlfriend, although it's previously been reported she works as a TV executive.

Appearing on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby, Steph revealed: "Me and my partner got together, and we had been friends for a long time before we got together and so she knew all about this, that I was thinking about what to do.

"And then we got together and she was like, 'Why don't we just go for it?' And we hadn't even been together for that long and I was like, 'Do you reckon?' And she was like, 'Yeah, yeah. What's stopping us?' And so then we decided we would have a baby."

The star prefers to keep her family out of the spotlight

Steph, who carried their baby, also revealed that she had suffered in the early stage of pregnancy. "The morning sickness, ah man, like that was horrendous and I still can't look at the Co-op logo because I once threw up in the vegetable aisle of the Co-op!" she confessed.

"And now I can't even, and it's really awkward because a new Co-op opened on our street and I was like I can't even look at that, I have to cross over!"
