Emmerdale's Chelsea Halfpenny and James Baxter Step Out with Baby for the First Time

Emmerdale Stars Enjoy a Night Out with Their New Arrival

Emmerdale stars Chelsea Halfpenny and James Baxter were spotted out with their baby for the first time since Chelsea gave birth to their daughter last year. The couple looked every bit the doting parents as they enjoyed a night out in Manchester watching Sister Act on stage, with their little one in tow in her pram.

A Longtime Love Story

Chelsea, known for her role as Amy Wyatt on the ITV soap, and James got engaged in 2022 after first meeting at a drama workshop when they were just teenagers. The couple reconnected years later at the National Television Awards in 2018 and have been together ever since.

From Soap Opera to Real Life

Both Chelsea and James have had roles on Emmerdale, though their characters' storylines did not overlap. Chelsea played Val and Eric Pollard's foster child, while James portrayed Arthur Thomas' half-brother. The couple's real-life love story is a far cry from the drama of the soap opera world.
