Stacey Dooley has revealed the first photo of her and Kevin Clifton’s newborn daughter Minnie.
The pair initially met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, when they won the season uncontested.
Months later, they began a love connection and have been inseparable ever since, revealing this summer on social media that they were expecting their first child together.
Stacey, 35, and Kevin, 39, announced in January that they had had a daughter, Minnie, together.
Like many celebrity parents, the couple has opted not to share their baby’s face thus far, but Stacey has now uploaded a beautiful footage of new dad Kevin cuddling his daughter in honour of Valentine’s Day.
The actress came to Instagram to share a brief video of Kevin holding his newborn girl and cradling her while staring into her eyes, clearly in love with her.
Baby Minnie, viewed from behind, is dressed in a charming yellow comfortable sweater with her name stitched in pink.
Stacey overlaid the Tommy Blaize music My Girl over the lovely father-daughter video.
Celebrating the romantic day, Stacey wrote: ‘My Valentines… the loves of my life.’
‘I dunno what I did to get SO lucky,’ she continued.
‘To the best dad and man in the world ….. happy vally’s darlin. Ps….. you’re on nights when u get home from tour!’
The new father is now on tour in the United Kingdom with Strictly Ballroom, a musical theatre adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s 1992 smash film.
The tour, choreographed by the famous Craig Revel Horwood, will last 10 months and visit 40 locations throughout the UK.
In January, the couple announced the birth of their daughter by posting a snapshot of an envelope with the words ‘Minnie’s parents’ written over the front.
Stacey wrote: ‘Our Daughter is here. My little masterpiece! I’m COMPLETELY OBSESSED.’
The 35-year-old signed off: ‘Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x.’
She previously admitted on The One Show that she feels ‘really lucky,’ as at 35 ‘you never take it for granted.’
‘But I can’t quite believe I’m going to be in charge of a little human being.’
