The couple revealed their baby girl’s name as Suzie Rose Parr, with Isabelle writing: “Welcome to the world Suzie Rose Par 🌹” in the caption, accompanied by a single red rose emoji.

Fans and fellow soap stars flooded the comments section with messages of congratulations. One wrote: “Congratulations to you both, she’s beautiful!” while another added: “Ross Barton is officially a dad, wishing you all the happiness in the world.”

Parr, 38, has been one of Emmerdale’s most popular stars since joining the cast over a decade ago, portraying the bad-boy-turned-family-man Ross Barton. His hard-hitting storylines, including Ross’s acid attack plot and complicated love life, have earned him praise from viewers and critics alike.

Outside of the soap, Parr has kept much of his personal life private, but he occasionally shares glimpses of his relationship with Isabelle on social media. News of the pregnancy delighted fans when it was announced earlier this year, and now many have shared their excitement at seeing the actor embark on his new journey as a father.

The birth of Suzie Rose comes during a period of change for Parr, who has hinted at future projects beyond Emmerdale. While it is unclear whether he will be returning to the soap full-time, fans are thrilled to see him enjoying life off-screen.
