EastEnders star Lacey Turner has revealed her daughter's unique name alongside an adorable photo. The actress cradled her newborn in her arms as she wore a brown knitted jumper with her name on. Lacey simply captioned the post: "Gipsy Olive," confirming her daughter's name. The baby girl's jumper read 'Gipsy' on the back as she snuggled into her famous mum. Just last week, Lacey revealed she had given birth.
She shared a photo of her two older children kissing the baby as she wrote: "Our hearts are full." Lacey and Matt Kay, who wed in 2017, are already parents to five-year-old Dusty and Trilby, three, and were very excited ahead of the newborn's arrival. Fans have reacted to Lacey's name choice as one said: "Oh what a lovely name.".
Another added: "Beautiful name and beautiful hair." Someone else commented: "Gorgeous name x." A fourth gushed: "Omg that name is perfect.". In September, Lacey posted a photo of the family holding onto a pregnancy scan. The beaming family could be seen gathered on the beach in front of the sunset as they smiled for snap. Captioning the upload, doting mum Lacey wrote: “Aren’t we lucky….. @thekayoskids” alongside a string of heart emojis. Just hours after the announcement, Lacey appeared at the Inside Soap Awards where she showed off her bump.
Lacey, who is known for playing EastEnders icon Stacey Slater, first rose to fame in 2004 when she made her debut in Albert Square. Since joining the soap two decades ago, she has been involved in some memorable plots including the famous Christmas storyline involving 'The Six' - and her character even became a grandmother in 2023 when her daughter Lily gave birth. The soap star and husband Matt, who was her teenage sweetheart, met when they were just 15 at a friend's house and have been together ever since, something she says she sees as "really lucky".
