Television favourite Bradley Walsh has been left overjoyed after his son Barney Walsh announced that his girlfriend — former Miss World Stephanie Del Valle Diaz — is expecting their first child. 

The news marks a huge milestone for the Breaking Dad star, who will soon take on his newest and perhaps proudest role yet — grandfather.

💬 “THE BEST NEWS OF OUR LIVES”

Barney, 27, and Stephanie, 29, reportedly shared their baby joy with close friends and family over the weekend, describing it as “the best news of our lives.”

A family insider revealed:

“Bradley was in tears when he found out. He adores Barney, and the thought of becoming a grandad has completely melted him. He’s been smiling ever since.” 🥹💙

According to sources, the couple discovered Stephanie’s pregnancy earlier this month and decided to keep it private until doctors confirmed that both mum and baby are healthy.

A BEAUTY QUEEN’S NEW CHAPTER

Stephanie Del Valle Diaz, who won the title of Miss World 2016, has spoken openly in the past about wanting a family “when the time feels right.”

Now, with Barney by her side, that dream has come true.

The couple met several years ago through mutual friends in the entertainment industry and have kept their relationship low-key, preferring to share glimpses of their romance only on special occasions.

“They’re over the moon,” a source close to Stephanie said.
“She’s glowing — and Barney’s been incredibly protective, already treating her like a queen.” 👑💞 A PROUD DAD’S REACTION

For Bradley Walsh, who has spent years working alongside his son on Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad, the news is nothing short of emotional.

The 65-year-old presenter has always shared a close bond with Barney, and fans have watched their father-son adventures across America with warmth and laughter.

“Bradley’s already calling himself ‘Grandad Brad,’” joked one family friend.
“He’s been talking about baby names and saying he can’t wait to take his grandchild on their first road trip.” 🚗✨

THE NEXT GENERATION OF WALSH

Friends of the family say the baby news has brought everyone even closer.

“It’s a beautiful time for them,” the insider added. “Bradley’s so proud of the man Barney’s become — and seeing him start a family with someone as lovely as Stephanie has made his heart full.”

Neither Barney nor Stephanie have yet revealed the baby’s due date, but those close to them say the pregnancy is progressing well and that the couple are already preparing for parenthood.

LOVE, LEGACY & NEW BEGINNINGS

The Walsh family’s story — once defined by on-screen laughter and father-son road trips — has now turned into something even more meaningful: a new generation of love and legacy.

“Bradley always said his proudest achievement was being a dad,” one friend said. “Now, that title’s about to change — because he’s going to be an incredible grandad, too.” 💙
