The post quickly drew thousands of likes and a flood of congratulatory comments from fans and former Hollyoaks co-stars alike. Many praised the actress for her openness and authenticity, celebrating her long-awaited journey into motherhood.
Roxanne’s exciting baby news comes just three months after she announced her engagement to her long-term partner, whose identity she has largely kept out of the spotlight. Known for keeping her personal life private, the actress surprised followers when she revealed her engagement in a romantic post earlier this year, showing off her sparkling ring with the caption, “Forever starts now.”
Since leaving Hollyoaks in 2008, McKee has gone on to carve out a successful international career, starring in hit shows including HBO’s Game of Thrones as Doreah and the action-packed series Dominion. She’s also appeared in films such as The Legend of Hercules and The Interceptor.
Despite her Hollywood ventures, Roxanne remains a fan favourite among Hollyoaks viewers, who fondly remember her dramatic storylines on the Chester-based soap. Her character, Louise Summers, was known for her fiery personality and turbulent love life, making her one of the standout figures of the show’s mid-2000s era.
The star has spoken in the past about wanting to find balance between her busy career and her personal happiness. In previous interviews, Roxanne has reflected on her evolving perspective, saying that she values “real connection and authenticity” above fame.

Fans and friends have continued to flood her Instagram with well wishes, with one follower commenting, “So happy for you, Roxanne, you deserve all the happiness in the world,” while another added, “Your Hollyoaks family must be so proud!”
Roxanne McKee’s announcement is a beautiful reminder that while sleep may be fleeting, love, especially in double doses, lasts forever.
