Actor Danny Miller and his girlfriend Steph Jones celebrate engagement and baby news Emmerdale
Emmerdale actor Danny Miller and his girlfriend Steph Jones have had quite the start to 2021. Not only did the pair kick off the year by getting engaged on the beach in St Lucia, but just a month later the couple found out they were expecting their first child together after a year of trying to conceive.
And this was never more clear than when the 30-year-old popped the question to his girlfriend Steph Jones over a romantic candlelit dinner in St Lucia earlier this year. “We’ve done so many tests that were negative, so I wasn’t expecting it to be positive. I couldn’t believe it,” smiles Steph, who is due in October.
We’ve done so many tests that were negative so I wasn’t expecting it to be positive – I couldn’t believe it! I was shaking and trying to ring Danny, but he wasn’t answering because he was on set.

We’d had the scan, my bloods taken and all the consultations, then, two days after the scan and a day after the last consultation, I found out I was pregnant!Danny: After a lot of trying and difficult periods when it’s not working for you, I think you start to lose hope. I was almost blaming myself for it and thinking, “Is it me who is not working?” And Steph was doing the same.
Some of them will have had a really difficult time themselves getting pregnant. It’s funny because I can be advising women on the early symptoms in pregnancy and then I’m experiencing the same ones, but it feels different with me. I have to double check with my midwife!Steph: I’ve been very sick. It hit at seven weeks. Danny has had to pull over in Morrisons’ car park and the side of the motorway! He’s been so helpful though.
Steph: Danny said, “Put them away now!” so I didn’t think it was going to happen. Danny told me it would be a while before he proposed at the beginning of the holiday to throw me off the scent.
