Emma Atkins partner: Who is Emmerdale

She said: “We’ve had a lovely, healthy baby boy. He arrived just before my 40th birthday, which was the best present.”

After the news of her son’s arrival, Emma revealed she would be leaving Emmerdale for a year to raise her son.

She said at the time to ITV in a video message: “I am leaving probably for about a year because I’m leaving to have a baby which is really exciting.”

Emma continued to speak of how excited she was as she announced she was going to be a mother.
