The youngster jumped to his feet with excitement and threw sand into the air as he ran around before cosying up to Stephanie to take a look at the scan picture. 

Stephanie and Joe looked thrilled by Caben's reaction as they hugged him and both planted a kiss on his head. 

Caben then went onto ask, 'how do you get a baby?' causing the couple to laugh before he added, 'so that's why you have a big lump'. 

The actress then looked emotional as her little boy quickly leaned in and kissed her growing baby bump.   

She looked sensational in a white plunging maxi dress as she showed off her tummy while sat on the beach. 

Despite her being 'nervous' beforehand, Stephanie described the reveal as 'perfect' as she watched Caben 'overwhelmingly process' the news.

She wrote: 'Well… This was the most perfect moment. We told Caben on the beach on our holiday. I was so nervous to tell him, it was such a big moment and one he hopefully remembers for the rest of his life 

'It’s so beautiful to just watch him at 7 years old trying to process such big news in his little head. He’s asked for a brother or sister for so long now, so when he found out you can see its overwhelming processing it.

'Caben's classic one liners, “How did that get in there?” “ so thats why you have a big lump “ and the best part for me at the end.. “ IM HAVING A BABY” 

'Caben you are going to be the best big brother, I actually cannot wait for the baby to be here now to see your love for one another, for you to have your sibling your best friend for the rest of your life! 

'I can’t wait to see you both grow, see your bond and see the life you both live together. I love you so so much ♥️ @caben.davis #Caben #pregnancy #sibling #pregnancyreveal #thedavroys'.

Stephanie previously revealed her fertility journey has been a 'rollercoaster' after suffering a devastating miscarriage in 2021.

She explained the couple had been trying to conceive for two years and were even exploring IVF, before falling pregnant naturally. 

Stephanie told OK!: 'I did the pregnancy test at my mother-in-law's. I could not believe it. I've done a million tests over the past two years and videoed them – the one time I didn't, it was positive!'.

She went on to recall how she and Joe, who she met in a group therapy session in 2021, were left 'sobbing' after a scan revealed they were excepting a baby boy.

'Joe never cries, so when he started that set me off. We were just sobbing on each other. Then the nurse in the room started crying, too.'

Stephanie Davis revealed in 2022 that she and Joe had suffered a miscarriage, three weeks into a previously unannounced pregnancy. 

Taking to Instagram with an emotional post, saying she woke up one morning and 'didn't feel pregnant anymore'.

She wrote at the time: 'I didn't want to post about this until I was ready, I don't think I ever will be or anyone is who goes through this but here goes. 

'So as my beautiful followers a lot of you had asked if I was pregnant a while back when I wasn't on the rides at Southport and you also noticed a lot of things, well you were right, we were having a baby! I was pregnant. 

'We found out from so, so early on it felt like we were pregnant for sooo long. If you remember I came off social media for a while, it was because we had a miscarriage. I was nearly nearly 12 weeks pregnant (3 months).

'I had sickness from early on (bad, bad sickness lol I was so nauseous and vomiting) and crazy hormones so it felt a long time with our baby. 

'I started getting really bad headaches one night and the next morning I woke up and I said to Joe and my mum and Joe's mum that I didn't feel pregnant anymore, they know how I am and thought I was overly worrying and the baby would be fine as on our previous scans the baby's heartbeat was beating beautifully. But as a mum I guess you just know…'

Stephanie went on to explain that she and Joe were 'heartbroken' following the miscarriage, saying she thought everything was 'ok' after passing the 12-week mark. 

'The anxiety, the heartbreak and the sadness we have gone through was horrendous. Me and Joe were so excited and already had visioned and planned a life with our family of 4. 

'I was already looking at what I was doing for my baby shower. You think when you get further on like I was that everything will be ok, so it was a big shock. 

'When they told us there was no heartbeat anymore I don't really remember much after that just totally heartbroken.'

The TV star said she had to be rushed in to hospital for an operation and heartbreakingly said she felt 'numb and empty' after the surgery.

She added: 'I had to have an operation to have our baby removed as was further on, I couldn't have got though it all without my absolute rock, Joe. My mum, Joe's mum, Jane, and Cath were amazing, and our family's and my management's support.

'After the operation I was so numb and empty and my hormones were all over the place. It was hard to accept there was nothing there anymore and our journey we were on was over. Joe was my rock and I love you more every day. 

Stephanie also suffered another tragic miscarriage the previous year with then partner Oliver Tasker.

Stephanie embarked on a turbulent relationship with Caleb's Dad Jeremy during their time on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2016.

Their on/off relationship resulted in public spats, domestic violence and a consequential three-year restraining order. 

Jeremy was charged for domestic violence in August 2017 after being accused of assaulting Stephanie in a drug-fuelled row, and was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months and 200 hours community service.
