| Live News reporter Published September 15, 2026 10:30am Updated September 15, 2026 10:38am Sam Aston and his pregnant wife Briony are expecting their fourth child (Picture: Stephen Crawshaw/Backgrid) Sam Aston and his pregnant wife Briony were seen attending a parenting event in Cheshire ahead of the arrival of their fourth child. The Coronation Street actor, 33, and Briony are already parents to Sonny, five, and daughters Daisy, four, and Hazel, two. However, in a sweet video posted on social media in May, the couple announced they were expecting another baby and featured an image of their three children along with her ultrasound. With their fourth soon on the way, it now means that Sam – who plays Chesney Brown in the ITV soap – is just one step away from having the size of Chesney’s brood with five. Attending the Mum & Me event in Cheshire on Monday, Briony showed off her baby bump while wearing a red gingham summer dress. Meanwhile, Sam kept things casual in a black T-shirt and jeans as he attended the event.

Briony, who works as a birth doula, has since revealed she will be scaling back her work ahead of the birth.
