L
acey Turner is cradling her daughter
Dusty Violet Kay in her arms as we
catch up following our exclusive
photoshoot at the four-bedroom
Hertfordshire home she shares with her
husband, Matt Kay. ‘Dusty’s our little
miracle – we call her Special Kay!’ beams
the EastEnders actress, who plays Stacey
Fowler in the BBC One soap.
The couple’s gorgeous daughter
was born at 8.45am on Friday July 12,
weighing 6lb 7oz.
‘You hear so many horror stories about
labour but I feel lucky to be able to say I
had a really lovely time,’ Lacey, 31, tells
us of her water birth at Watford General
Hospital. ‘Watching Lacey give birth is the
best thing I’ve ever seen and it made me
so proud of her,’ adds Matt, also 31.
It’s been a difficult and often heart-
breaking journey to get to this point of
overwhelming happiness for the couple.
Sadly, Lacey suffered two miscarriages
before becoming pregnant with Dusty.
Both miscarriages were at seven weeks
- the first shortly after their wedding in
Ibiza in September 2017 and the second
in April 2018.
What followed were tests to determine
any medical issues, and a period of six
months where they didn’t fall pregnant
before discovering, last November, they
were expecting again.
