Steph responded to claims gay people are 'unhappy'
Steph often keeps her home life private and rarely mentions any information about her partner online, although she is reported to work behind-the-scenes in TV.
The couple share a one-year-old daughter, whose name they haven't publicly revealed and who they welcomed in November 2019.
The 38-year-old opened up about her struggle with morning sickness during a candid appearance on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby, in April.

"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.
Steph also recently opened up about being a mum and how she likes to spend her time off. Sharing a snippet from a previous interview with The Sun's TV Magazine on Instagram, the former engineer revealed how weekends are solely for her loved ones now she has waved goodbye to her "workaholic" days.
"Now Saturdays and Sundays are about my partner and my daughter," she said. "My perfect Saturday is taking my little girl swimming, then we'll go out for lunch with her, which is chaos but we pretend it's fine."
