Jeremy McConnell becomes a dad again as girlfriend gives birth

Jeremy McConnell has become a dad for the second time, after his girlfriend Katie McCreath gave birth last night.

The former model and Celebrity Big Brother star, who’s already dad to Caben-Albi with Stephanie Davis, now has a bouncing baby girl with solicitor Katie, and sources say he couldn’t be more in love.

"He says she is so beautiful, she is unreal and he finally has the family he’s always wanted," a friend told The Sun.

"Katie was so amazing and is doing really well."

Jeremy has had a troubled past with addictions to drugs and alcohol and limited contact with his son after a fraught relationship with Hollyoak’s star Stephanie.

But since things turned romantic between him and Katie, who headed his legal team in 2017, Jeremy has enjoyed a life out of the spotlight with the pair announcing (then un-announcing, then announcing again) their pregnancy in July.

"Today, I have everything I’ve ever wanted," he told Closer magazine last month. "I’m healthy, I’m in a stable relationship and I have a baby girl on the way. But I do look back and think ‘What the f--- was all that?’ I don’t relate to the person I used to be, and prison was the biggest wake-up call.

"I know only too well about the ins and outs of struggling with drugs, but while I was locked up I had a lot of time to think and said, ‘I’m either going to learn from this, or I’ll die.’

"I knew I couldn’t make the same mistakes. I wanted to set out and be a better father to my son in the future, and I had to change my ways. I haven’t touched drugs since leaving prison."

He added, "Katie was the only person to visit me while I was locked up. She’s been the most constant thing in my life and the biggest support structure."
