Kin star Emmet J Scanlan and Hollyoaks actress wife Claire Cooper expecting new baby

Kin star Emmett J Scanlan and his wife Claire Cooper have announced they are expecting another child, with the Dublin actor also back on home soil to film season two of the hit crime show.

Scanlon, who married his former Hollyoaks co-star in 2015, shared their happy news on social media this week.

Posting a photo of their son touching her baby bump, Emmett, who is best known on screen these days for playing gangster Jimmy Kinsella in RTE’s Kin, said: “Incoming…#ScanClan”.

The couple also share son Ocean-Torin Scanlan, who is nearly two. Scanlan also has a daughter, Kayla, from a previous relationship.

Cooper also shared the same sweet snap as her husband, and wrote: “Our family is growing.”
