Corrie’s Jennie McAlpine shares sweet photo after welcoming daughter

They welcomed their second child last month

Jennie McAlpine has shared a sweet photo of herself and husband Chris Farr following the birth of their second child.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2005, welcomed a little girl named Hilda on October 29.

Coronation Street actress Jennie, 34, posted a snap – which appeared to have been taken before Hilda’s birth, to Instagram on Thursday showing herself and Chris resting their hands on her bump.

The star, who plays cobbles stalwart Fiz, thanked fans for their “lovely messages” and well wishes for their new bundle of joy.

In the pic, Chris is seen leaning his head towards Jennie’s bump as they smile for the camera.

Alongside the picture, Jennie wrote: “Thanks for all the lovely messages and wishes for our little girl.”

She added: “Can’t imagine there was a time she wasn’t here.”

Fans rushed to comment on the post to congratulate the couple on their new addition.

One person said: “Beautiful picture of you both and I hope you are all having a wonderful time with your newly expanded family.”

Another wrote: “Congratulations darling… how wonderful. Hope you’re all blissfully happy & healthy,” while a third added: “You make an adorable couple.”

Last month, Jennie shared the happy news that she and Chris had welcomed their little girl.

Jennie – who also has three-year-old son Albert – wrote on Twitter: “Our newest addition arrived yesterday.

“Mummy and Daddy very happy. Big brother very proud of his little sister Hilda. We’re all in love (sic).”

A couple of days later, Jennie revealed her son Albert loves being a big brother to newborn sister Hilda as she shared a picture of a card he had written for his family.

It features three flowers made using cut-up orange and green tissue paper and the words: “To mummy, daddy and Hilda.”

Jennie shared the snap with the caption: “Big brother getting prouder of his little sister every day.”

Too cute!

Jennie and Chris had announced their second pregnancy via Twitter in April.

Corrie fans have suggested Jennie chose the baby name Hilda in honour of legendary Corrie character Hilda Ogden, but she’s yet to confirm that.
