Emmerdale’s Danny Miller took to social media as he shared a “lucky” family update. The 34-year-old actor has captured the heart of audiences since he first appeared on Emmerdale in 2008. His character, Aaron Dingle, has been at the centre of several gripping storylines, from complex love affairs to harrowing brushes with the law and stints behind bars.
Danny and his wife Steph Jones currently have two children, Albert and Edith. The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Cheshire in 2022, one year after getting engaged in St Lucia.
The I’m A Celebrity winner took to Instagram earlier this year to announce the news that his wife is expecting a third baby. He regularly keeps fans updated on his life away from the ITV cameras and the soap star recently shared a heartfelt post for his wife, thanking her for everything she does as a mum.
He shared a snap of Steph with her baby bump and he wrote: “How this beautiful woman keeps going, I do not know. Literally waiting for our new addition and nothings changed.
“Up and at it first thing to sort out two toddlers under 4, three including me (lolz) – taking them to 736.7 classes a day, nursery, gymnastics, swimming, you name it. Does not sit down.
“Other than that huge bump you’d never know. I am so lucky to have this woman in my life. As are our children. But I know she’s at term, but FFS any chance of putting the kettle on @stephjones1710 I adore you. Never, ever cease to amaze me my love.”
Fans rushed to the comments to send their support to the couple, with the arrival of their new baby just around the corner. One follower said: “A beautiful women and what a beautiful post Danny. Sending you all the love and best wishes for your new arrival.”
A second wrote: “Awww Danny this is so so sweet, she truly is amazing.” A third fan added: “What a lovely picture. You have one amazing lady there. I hope you are all keeping well. Sending my best wishes to you all :).”
Danny Miller first appeared on Emmerdale in 2008. He departed the ITV soap for a short break in 2021 to take part in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Danny was crowned King of the Jungle, when it was filmed in Grwych Castle in Wales due to the pandemic.
Speaking at the time, he said: “I have left Emmerdale, unfortunately. I have decided to start a new path in life. I have got my baby and I am getting married next year and it felt like the right time to start a new chapter in my life.”
After a two year hiatus, in 2023, the actor from Stockport made the decision to return to the Emmerdale village, relocating his family to Leeds.
Speaking to Manchester Evening News, Danny said: “It’s amazing. It’s almost like a new job for me because I see it completely differently. I’ve been back a couple of times but I’m very appreciative of the job.
“I’m very thankful to be back here and I have a family now that needs feeding so it makes it a fun way to do that.” He added: “We’ve relocated over here [to Leeds] now and it shows that I really want to commit to the show and just show them and the audience how much I love it and how much respect and thanks I’ve got for it.”
