EMMERDALE BABY JOY! Isabel Hodgins’ husband melts hearts with sweet message as the couple prepare to welcome their first child
Emmerdale favourite Isabel Hodgins, who has played Victoria Sugden since 2006, is preparing for a brand new chapter — motherhood. Just months after her fairy-tale wedding to Adam Whitehead, the actress is glowing as she and her husband count down to welcoming their first child.
“Three Months to Go” — Adam’s Heartwarming Update
Taking to Instagram, Adam shared a touching message alongside a series of autumn snapshots of the couple during a countryside walk. With leaves falling around them, he captioned the photos:
“Three months to go 👣 Proud of you @isabelhodgins ❤️”
The simple message melted fans’ hearts, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the couple’s journey toward parenthood.
From Manchester “I Do’s” to Baby News
Isabel, 31, revealed her pregnancy in August, just a few months after tying the knot in a romantic Manchester ceremony at Castlefield Rooms. The wedding — attended by her Emmerdale co-stars including Danny Miller, Jeff Hordley, Zoë Henry, and Laura Norton — was a joyful celebration of the couple’s shared history, as Manchester was the place where they had their first date and often went running together.
Announcing her pregnancy at four months, Isabel posted a heartfelt picture of herself and Adam gazing at each other while holding their baby scan photos.
“First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes… Baby Whitehead ❤️,” she wrote at the time.
Now, with just weeks to go, the couple are soaking up the excitement — and a little disbelief.
“He Actually Told Me!” — How Isabel Found Out
In an interview with OK!, Isabel shared the funny story of how Adam was the one who broke the news of her pregnancy.
“Isabel was overdue by a few days, so she took a test,” Adam explained. “But then she just chucked it on the floor, upside down.”
He couldn’t resist taking a peek — and saw the positive result first.
“I didn’t want to look at it,” Isabel laughed. “But Mr Impatient comes along and says it’s positive!”
A New Chapter for the Emmerdale Star
Having portrayed Victoria Sugden since the age of 12, Isabel has grown up both on and off screen in the Emmerdale family. Her upcoming role as a mum marks a fitting next step in her real-life story.
With her due date now just around the corner, fans and co-stars alike are sending love and congratulations — as the Emmerdale star and her husband prepare to meet their little bundle of joy.
