CORONATION Street star Sam Aston’s pregnant wife Briony has showed off her growing baby bump as the couple walked their dog.
The actor confirmed he was expecting his first child with his wife back in May, before revealing they are having a baby boy.
The couple are making sure to keep active during Briony’s pregnancy, and were pictured out for a walk with their two adorable dogs near their home in Lancashire.
Briony started the walk with her bump covered by a khaki green coat, but as the sun came out, she took it off to reveal her growing belly in a black vest top.
Meanwhile Sam, 27, colour co-ordinated with his wife of one year in a khaki hooded top and black jogger bottoms as he carried the dogs leads while the pooches ran around on the grass.
The couple previously revealed they had only been trying for a baby for four or five weeks before falling pregnant.
Speaking to OK! Sam – who plays Chesney Brown in the ITV soap – said: “We’re having a boy! It was a massive surprise when we found out, as there are loads of girls in our families, so we were adamant we were having a girl.”
Briony added: “We found out the day before lockdown. Sam couldn’t come with me because of the current rules, so I got the consultant to write the sex on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope and we both then sat in the car and opened it together. We were over the moon.”
Sam, who has eight siblings, said one child is “perfect for now” and, referencing his Corrie alter-ego, joked: “I’m glad it’s not quads.”
He and on-screen partner Gemma Winter have their hands full with baby quadruplets, and Sam admitted handling babies on set has given him more confidence for when his own child is born.
Sam and yoga instructor Briony, 25, got married last year, two years after announcing their engagement.
They exchanged their vows – and did a yoga-themed first dance – in front of friends, family members and his soap co-stars at Stock Farm in Cheshire.
