The star's fans and friends inundated the comments section with heartfelt messages. One follower wrote: "Look at her little hand holding on and having a good look out!!!" while a second remarked: "Soooo cute!!" and a third chimed in: "He is definitely King Kev, (as crowned by you) but that makes you Queen Stacey and therefore Princess Mins - what a fab trio."

Stacey and Kevin, who found love on Strictly, welcomed their first child into the world on 10 January 2023.

Shortly afterwards, Kevin posted a simple photo on his Instagram page of an envelope addressed to 'Minnie's parents'. The caption read: "Our daughter is here. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So proud of u @sjdooley. Love u Minnie, Love u Stace x."

The smitten couple are raising their family in a beautiful family home near Liverpool. The couple upped sticks to live closer to Stacey's mother after they almost immediately fell in love with the Liverpool property.

Their new home is filled with beautiful interiors

Of their relocation, Kevin told the Liverpool ECHO: "Stacey loves looking at houses on the internet. Looking at interiors and stuff is her favourite thing to do.

"She just happened to have seen something she liked and thought, 'Oh it's not too far away from my mum'. We went and had a look and the second she walked in was like, 'I love it and I can really see us living here'. It all happened really quickly and we love it."

Stacey and Kevin's relationship

The dancing duo, who clinched victory during their time on the show in 2018, enjoyed a whirlwind romance after crossing paths on the show.

The loved-up couple met on Strictly Come Dancing

Exactly when the couple started a romantic relationship is not known, but they did confirm their romance shortly after her ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott gave a tell-all interview in April 2019. Stacey insisted that there was no overlap between the relationships, and in July that year, she spoke publicly for the first time about boyfriend Kevin.

They moved in together not long after, and shared their joyous pregnancy news in August 2022.
