Suzanne Shaw and Darren Day have become grandparents after their son Corey welcomed his first child, a son named Colton, on Thursday, with Corey's girlfriend Erin giving birth. Shaw shared her joy on social media, posting a message expressing her love for her grandson and excitement to teach him activities. Darren Day also expressed his excitement, writing a message about being a grandparent.
The exact date of Colton's birth beyond Thursday has not been confirmed, and the health and condition of the newborn beyond the announcement remain unknown. Shaw and Day have buried the hatchet and are on good terms as co-parents to their son Corey, despite a history of conflict. They dated for around 18 months and were engaged, but split just three months after Corey's birth in 2005.
Grandad loves you so much…and is actually old enough to be a Grandparent, unlike Nanny!
According to Daily Mail - Home, Darren Day described his departure by saying he does not do family, and Suzanne Shaw described it as him going out to get a curry and not coming back. Shaw battled postnatal depression after Corey's birth, and Day walked out on her and their seven-week-old son on Mother's Day in 2005. The reasons behind Day's departure beyond the reported statement are unclear, and whether they have any current joint activities beyond co-parenting is not specified.
Darren Day is now engaged to his current girlfriend Sophie Ladds, while Suzanne Shaw recently broke down in tears as she detailed her 'messy and unexpected' breakup from fiancé Sam Greenfield in an Instagram video last month. Shaw and Greenfield got engaged in 2014 and welcomed their son Rafferty in 2015, with Shaw confirming she and Greenfield split in January. According to Daily Mail - Home, Shaw described the breakup as no surprise.
Something beautiful, something true, My baby boy Corey, became a father To a precious son, wrapped softly in blue.
The current relationship status between Shaw and Greenfield beyond the confirmed split in January remains unknown. Suzanne Shaw has also focused on her personal journey, having quit alcohol six years ago. Friends and colleagues celebrated the news of her grandson, with fellow Hear'Say member Kym Marsh commenting on the joy of grandparenthood.
Singer and TV presenter Myleene Klass and friend Nat Anderson also offered congratulations.
