OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Walsh and Toby-Alexander Smith have named their baby daughter Bonnie Mae.
The couple welcomed their first child into the world on 27 December and didn’t have any trouble settling on a moniker for the tot as they’d picked out their favourite before the ‘Emmerdale’ actress even fell pregnant.
Toby said: “We’d go on walks around the lake where Amy used to live in Leeds during lockdown and talk about names. Bonnie was one that came up really early, even before Amy was pregnant.”
Amy added in an interview with OK! magazine: “Whenever we hypothetically talked about our family, we always said “our little Bonnie”. When she came, she couldn’t have been more of a Bonnie.
“Her middle name is Mae. We wanted something with one syllable that went with her first name and surname, Smith.”
Bonnie was born three days after her due date, and the couple were thankful she wasn’t early as they could have had a very different experience after contracting COVID-19 earlier in the month.
Amy said: “Her due date was Christmas Eve. A few weeks prior to that, we had some drama as we got COVID. We had two weeks of worrying that I would go into labour while we had Covid, which would mean Toby wouldn’t have been able to be there.”
Toby added: “Isolating at home was hard – every minute felt like an hour, so to get to the other side of that felt like a relief.”
Amy and the ‘EastEnders’ star are “smitten” with the new addition to their family and can’t help but “cry” when their daughter looks over at them.
Toby gushed: “It’s exceeded every expectation imaginable, it’s just amazing and really special. We’re totally smitten.”
Amy added: “We both look at her and cry! All she has to do is open her eyes and look up at you and it sets you off.”
