Emmerdale star Amy Walsh and former EastEnders actor Toby-Alexander Smith have delighted fans by finally revealing the beautiful name of their baby daughter.
The soap couple, who welcomed their second child earlier this year, have now introduced their little girl as Nell Rose Smith. The sweet update comes around 12 weeks after Amy gave birth, giving fans a lovely glimpse into the couple’s growing family life.
Amy, best known for playing Tracy Metcalfe in Emmerdale, and Toby, who played Gray Atkins in EastEnders, are already parents to daughter Bonnie. Their newest arrival now makes them a family of four, and the name reveal has sparked a wave of warm messages from fans.
The couple first announced Nell’s birth back in March with a touching black-and-white photo of their newborn’s tiny feet. At the time, they kept her name private, allowing themselves a little time to enjoy those early baby weeks away from the full spotlight.
Now, by sharing the name Nell Rose, Amy and Toby have given followers another emotional update from their family journey.
Their relationship has always been loved by soap fans because it brings together two familiar faces from two of Britain’s biggest shows. Amy has been part of the Emmerdale world for years, while Toby became widely known for his powerful and chilling role as Gray Atkins in EastEnders. Off screen, however, their story is far softer than any soap plot.
The pair reportedly met in 2019 while attending a recording of Strictly Come Dancing. Their romance later grew, and they welcomed their first daughter Bonnie before tying the knot in a star-studded wedding in Montenegro in 2023. Since then, fans have followed their family milestones with affection.
Amy and Toby announced their second pregnancy in September last year, sharing the happy news with supporters before later confirming they were expecting another baby girl. The arrival of Nell Rose has now completed another special chapter for the couple.
What makes the update especially sweet is how grounded it feels. This is not a dramatic twist, scandal or soap-style shock. It is simply two proud parents sharing the name of their daughter and celebrating life with their two little girls.
Fans were quick to send love, with many praising the name and congratulating the couple once again. Amy’s famous family connections have also added to the attention, as she is the sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, making this another joyful moment for the wider Walsh family.
Away from filming schedules, red carpets and soap storylines, Amy and Toby appear to be focused on the most important role of all — parenthood.
Bonnie now has a baby sister.
Amy and Toby have another little girl to love.
And with Nell Rose Smith finally introduced to fans, this beloved soap couple’s family story has become even sweeter.
