The 32-year-old actress and then-partner Joe McKalroy parted ways in June – four months after the birth.
Taking to Instagram, Stephanie took a swipe at her former partner in a new update.
She posted a photo of her crying and holding son Samuel, taken when the boy was four weeks old.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was still in a relationship with Joe at the time.
She captioned the picture: “Never felt so isolated. Should have been such a happy time.
“I look wrecked from crying and vacant. Only four weeks old here.”
Back in June, Stephanie confirmed she and Joe had ended their romance.
Rumours first circulated that the pair had split ahead of Father’s Day when Steph failed to mention her partner in an emotional post.
On the honoured day, she shared a photograph alongside her own father in a touching tribute without mentioning her man.
In a statement to fans, the actress shared: “Never in a million years did I think I’d be writing this.
“I’ve been left with no choice but to address the rumours.
“This has come as a complete shock and has been an incredibly painful and unexpected time.
“Just four months after having a baby-one of the most vulnerable and emotional times in a woman’s life-I’ve found myself facing this chapter on my own.
‘After everything I’ve been through in the past, I truly believed I’d finally found my happiness-something secure and lasting. But that, heartbreakingly, hasn’t been the case.”
She continued: “I’m grateful for the years we had because without us I wouldn’t have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority.
“Right now, I’m focusing on healing. protecting my peace, and doing the best I can-being there for my two beautiful boys.
Steph added: “Thank you to those who’ve reached out-your kindness has meant more than I can say. Stephanie X.”
Away from acting, Stephanie had a memorable stint in the Celebrity Big Brother House back in 2016.
She also featured in Coronation Street as Courtney Vance for a storyline in 2023.
