The moment Suzanne Shaw and Darren Day became grandparents has been revealed in a sweet family post, but what’s the real story behind their past?
Suzanne Shaw, 44, and Darren Day, 57, have become grandparents after Suzanne’s son, Corey, welcomed his first child – a baby boy named Colton – on March 26. The emotional milestone was shared with fans through heartfelt posts from both Suzanne and Darren on Instagram.
In her touching tribute, Suzanne shared a sweet poem reflecting on Corey’s journey to fatherhood: “Something beautiful, something true, My baby boy Corey, became a father, to a precious son, wrapped softly in blue.” She went on to express how proud she was of Corey, saying that he had given her “the greatest gift,” promising to love baby Colton “unconditionally.”
The couple, who had a brief romance in the early 2000s, appeared to have buried the hatchet as they celebrated this moment together, posing for photos in the hospital. Darren shared a similar post, echoing Suzanne’s sentiments while joking, “Grandad loves you so much… and is actually old enough to be a Grandparent, unlike Nanny!”
Despite their past, which included a short engagement and Darren leaving Suzanne on Mother’s Day when Corey was just seven weeks old, the two appeared to be united in joy as they marked the arrival of their grandson. Suzanne went on to joke about teaching Colton handstands and cartwheels, even poking fun at Darren’s age.
The emotional birth announcement came after Suzanne and Darren had their share of ups and downs in their personal lives. Suzanne later married radio presenter Jason King, and after that relationship ended in 2012, she was with her ex, Sam Greenfield, for 12 years before recently splitting. Meanwhile, Darren has been engaged six times, with his most recent engagement to Sophie Ladds in 2020.
Corey, who is the son of Suzanne and Darren from their relationship, is now a father himself, marking a new chapter in the family’s history. Both Suzanne and Darren have expressed their excitement and pride, sharing their joy with their followers.
