Alex and Levi started dating in 2017, although reports suggested the pair separated earlier this year. However, despite these reports, Alex denied these rumours when Levi posted photos of her 12-week scan on Facebook.
Alex later took to Facebook to say how excited he was, 'For all those wondering, 'I’m still with my girlfriend Levi, and I honestly cannot wait for my little baby girl to arrive! I cant wait to have my own little family!' [sic]
Although the couple have yet to comment, The Sun are quoting a source saying,“They’d had to deal with a lot and they’re both so young.
"But they’re absolutely over the moon - it’s the greatest gift they could have hoped for this Christmas."
Levi has however changed her Facebook intro text to say, 'Lydia-rose bain❤️👶🏻8/12/18❤️👶🏻Alex❤️'. [sic]
Alex plays the role of Ken Barlow’s grandson Simon Barlow in Coronation Street, a role that won him Best Young Performance at the British Soap Awards in 2011.
Congratulations to Alex and Levi!
