“They ask for privacy at this emotional time, to allow both to focus on their beautiful daughter Sienna-Rae, to ensure her continued happiness."

The pair met on the set of Coronation Street in 2002 when Hudson played Katy Harris alongside Halsall as Tyrone Dobbs.

They married in 2009 in Cheshire after four years together before welcoming their daughter in 2013.

Speaking about children in an interview with OK! the couple said they were "not in a rush" to have more.

Halsall told The Sun that becoming a father had made him a softer person and saw him change his priorities.

"I miss my little girl, Sienna-Rae, when I'm at work so, as soon as I finish a scene, I'm in the car as quick as I can because I want to be part of everything," he said.
