Corrie star Sair Kahn and her boyfriend Nathan Clinton have welcomed a ‘marvellous’ baby boy.
Kahn took to social media on Thursday, May 9, to tell fans that her little bundle of joy had entered the world after a ‘raw and primal’ birthing experience.
She took the opportunity to post beautiful pictures of her newborn, writing, ‘He’s here! Okay, when I said ‘Spring awakening’ in my last post, I didn’t mean ‘keep’ me awake. The new parent zombie look is definitely a thing, isn’t it?’
He’s super strong and so resilient for joining me on the absolute rollercoaster that was our 22 hours of labour. We didn’t quite get the birth I’d hoped for, but that’s okay (two birth pools, no water birth),’ she said.
The Corrie actress opened up about her birthing experience, writing, ‘I’m glad that I kept an open heart and had no expectations because my gosh, I had NO IDEA what a ride I was in for.’
‘Since then, we’ve been nonstop trying to figure out latches and vomit and tears, all while dealing with sleep deprivation and the small issue of trying to heal my own body too,’ Sair continued. ‘Massive respect to all the new Mamas and Dads trying to get through those first few days and weeks.’
‘Somehow, we’re off the starting blocks, and I’m so unbelievably grateful for our healthy baby, Nathan, and the incredible support network around us for their patience, generosity, and late-night voice notes that have kept me going. Anyone else ever felt like there’s a DJ beat coming from your breast pump at 3am, or is that what delirium is?!’
Sair signed off, writing, ‘For now, it’s back to the cuteness, cuddles and intoxicating new baby smell that are making it all worthwhile. Sair x.’
Her Corrie co-stars quickly congratulated the doting couple on their amazing news, with Corrie legend Kym Marsh writing, ‘Huge congratulations to you both. Sending so much love to you all xxx welcome to the world little one! It’s crazy, but you will love it.’
Soap icon Sally Dynevor posted some red love hearts under the images, while Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria on the cobbles, added, ‘Absolutely beautiful! He is a truly gorgeous little angel, and you are doing amazing, Sair…to even articulate your experience so well so soon after deserves serious credit.’
Kahn, who has been a member of the corrie cast since 2014, as Alya Nazir, the grandaughter of current resident Yasmeen Nazir, announced her pregnancy back in December 2023, after what she described as a ‘tough year’ for her partner, Clinton.
Currently, Sair’s character is away from the cobbles after taking a job in Dublin, but we’re sure she will return to the soap very soon.
