Kellie Bright has opened up on the special meaning behind her newborn son Rudy’s name as she paid tribute to her nana.

The soap star, 45, and her husband Paul Stocker, 38, have exclusively introduced their baby boy into the world with OK!, a sibling for elder sons Freddy, nine, and Gene, four.

The couple welcomed their baby boy, Rudy Joy Stocker, on 22 July at 4.05pm, weighing 7lbs 14oz and Kellie later opened up on the importance of his name.

“Joy was my nana’s name and I said that whether we had a boy or a girl, I would really like the middle name to be Joy as she meant such a lot to me,” she explained.

“We weren’t sold on Rudy until about a week before I had him, but it’s been on my boys’ list for a while and was definitely around when I had Gene.

“All the girls’ names I really like, my husband didn’t! If he’d been a girl he probably would have been Robyn Joy.”

Rudy

The name Rudy is primarily a male name of American origin that means Famous Wolf. It is a diminutive form of Rudolph.

Joy

The name Joy is primarily a female name of Latin origin that means Happiness.

Kellie opened up to OK! about her labour, saying she was induced at 37-and-a-half weeks: “It was a long build-up over two days but the actual delivery was so quick. He flew out!”

Opening up on the moment she held baby Rudy in her arms for the first time after he was born, Kellie said it was “beautiful”.

She smiled: “There were lots of tears of joy. It was a beautiful moment. I’ll never forget my midwives as they got me through it.”
