Michelle Hardwick and her wife would 'love' to have another baby
The 'Emmerdale' actress - who is married to Kate Brooks, a producer on the ITV soap - welcomed son Teddy into the world in October 2020 after IVF treatment.
The couple chose the donor to be his biological father, and Michelle, 46, carried their son while Kate, 39, donated the egg.
Pondering the future, the soap star told OK! magazine: "We’d definitely love Teddy to have a brother or sister.
"And if we’re lucky enough, fantastic – for him as well, not just for us.”
The actress - who plays Vanessa Woodfield on the show - also revealed the proud parents are keen to meet their son's biological dad in the future.
They chose the father after researching potential candidates, including their characteristics, family life and values.
Michelle added: "When Teddy is 18 he can find out who his dad is and we’d massively back him.
“I’d love to meet him just to say, ‘Thank you so much for allowing us to be parents and giving us the most beautiful little boy.' "
Michelle has previously called out some of the horrific homophobic abuse she and her partner have been subjected to, and she once had to call the police over some nasty messages she received online.
She once said: "It's the good and the bad, because there's some not-very-nice people on social media, as we all know. But that's just part of it.
"People could say, 'Well, come off social media'. But then I think: 'Well, there's only one or two people who are like that, and then there's quite a lot of others who are very, very lovely'.
"So why should I? I tell myself that I think they're bored, they're not that malicious. I always think to myself, it could be your bank manager, it could be the person who works at your local florist.
"It's probably not, but it could be. That is the thing, nobody knows. A couple of years ago it was that bad that the police had to be involved."
Michelle was told to die in the horrible messages, but she praised the police for being "fantastic".
She added: "They just wanted me to die and things like that. They didn't mention because I was gay or anything like that. But the police were fantastic."
