WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Emmerdale.

Emmerdale fans are breaking their hearts over Leyla Harding (played by Roxy Shahidi) as of late as she struggles to battle her drug addiction. As a result, her marriage to Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) is on the rocks with him not being able to cope much longer with Leyla, despite all they have been through. But thankfully, it is a very different story away from the cameras for the ITV actress Roxy Shahidi.

Does Emmerdale’s Leyla Harding star Roxy Shahidi have kids?

Yes, Emmerdale’s Leyla actress Roxy Shahidi is a mum, announcing the birth of her daughter in January 2018.

She is very quiet when it comes to her personal life, neither releasing her name nor any pictures of her child.

But going by when the announcement was made, Shahidi’s daughter will now be four years old.

She did, however, reveal that it was her former Emmerdale co-star Charley Webb who played Debbie Dingle that told Shididi she was pregnant.

Shahidi told the Mirror: “He just looked me in the eye at a cast party and said, ‘Will you marry me?’

“I didn’t answer and he said, ‘You will be my wife,’ and that was it.

“I didn’t quite know what to make of it because I didn’t know him that well.

“I knew that he liked me but we hadn’t really said anything. We hadn’t even kissed!

“I half wanted to laugh and say, ‘That’s absolutely ridiculous!’ and the other half thought, ‘Oooh, kiss me passionately!’”
