Emmerdale star Amy, 36, and former EastEnders actor Toby, 33, announced last night that they were adding to their brood.
They penned in a joint post to fans: “Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026”
Their followers rushed to congratulate them and EastEnders star Clair Norris penned: “Sweetest video! Congratulations to you all!”
Emmerdale actress Michelle Hardwick wrote: “So exciting!”
Emmerdale actress Amy is best known for playing Tracy Robinson, while Toby played the EastEnders villain Gray Atkins.
Gray’s exit on the BBC soap involved his arrest and imprisonment after his murders and domestic abuse was uncovered.
It’s been a great year for the couple, after Amy revealed her exciting new career move alongside her hubby.
They opened up about their surprise new venture together back in May.
The soap power couple announced they’ll be launching a drama school – in a bid to inspire fresh talent.
The soap stars first met in 2019 while in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing and quickly moved in together ahead of the coronavirus pandemic.
Emmerdale’s Amy Walsh reveals new job alongside EastEnders star husband
In August 2023, they got engaged during a romantic holiday in Ibiza, one year after becoming parents to adorable Bonnie.
In September 2023, they tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in front of family and friends in Montenegro.
She told OK!: “It was honestly the most perfect day. It surpassed all my expectations and more. I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I’m just in pure bliss.
“Our family and friends are really important to us and we wanted everyone to have the best time.
“They all made such an effort to come out there for us. Friends left their kids for the first time and spent their money getting there. We wanted it to be really special.”
AMY’S AXE
Amy attended The Soap Awards back in May and told The Sun it was tough leaving Emmerdale.
She admitted she took her axe from the Dales “personally” at the time as she opened up about the emotional toll of being killed off.
The star revealed what it was like to film the explosive stunt which saw a full limo crash into an icy lake and slowly sink under water.
The crash killed three characters in a massive cast cull: Suzy Merton, Amy Wyatt and Leyla Harding – who died from their injuries.
Speaking about the filming the heart-breaking scenes, Amy revealed: “It was the best experience I’ve had on the show. I’ve never been involved in a big stunt.
“We were doing night shoots for weeks. It was with all my closest friends in the show.
“I loved all the emotional content. It was heart-breaking, but great to be involved with.”
Close to tears, she added: “It was hard. It was really emotional. On a personal level, I found it really hard. I’m really really close to Roxy and Natalie Ann.
“They were pretending to be dead and I couldn’t quite cope. I had to step away at one point.
“It was just a sad sad time, but you know, it’s the nature of the beast.”
