They say having two under two can be hectic, but when OK! catches up with Brooke Vincent following the birth of her second child, the actress appears to have the whole thing nailed.
Chatting to us over Zoom while feeding her newborn son Monroe, the Coronation Street star is multi-tasking like a pro and showing no signs of the effects of sleepless nights.
“I might not look it, but I’m actually alright,” laughs Brooke, 28. “Thankfully he’s very chilled,” she adds of Monroe, who already has a full head of dark hair.
Brooke welcomed Monroe S J Bryan into the world on 4 May at 8.14 am – the exact same time as his 18-month-old brother Mexx. He was born via C-section at St Mary’s Hospital, weighing 8lbs 1oz. Brooke’s partner, Sheffield United footballer Kean Bryan, was by her side.
The star was booked in for an elective caesarean due to complications from her birth with Mexx. But after going into labour nine hours before she was scheduled for theatre, her plan went out the window!
Here, Brooke, who’s played Sophie Webster in Corrie on and off since the age of 11, tells OK! about Monroe’s “scary” arrival, and a moment shared with Mexx that moved her to tears…
Congratulations, Brooke! How does it feel to be a mum-of-two?
