A Peaky Blinder and her cheeky blighter... Sophie Rundle and son have a bundle of fun in the sun
PEAKY BLINDERS star Sophie Rundle swaps the gritty streets of Birmingham for a sun-kissed family break in Barcelona.
The 34-year-old, who played
Ada Thorne in the hit BBC drama about the Midlands crime gang, larked around with actor partner Matt Stokoe and their one-yearold son Henry as the family dined in the Spanish city.
Wearing a yellow gingham top, denim shorts and Adidas plimsolls, the actress adoringly pulled funny faces at her son before taking snaps of him on her phone. The attentive couple made sure to shield the youngster from the bright sunshine with a New York Yankees baseball cap.
Stokoe, 33, showing off his tattoos in a short-sleeved pink shirt, played with his son before putting him back in his blue £430 Babyzen buggy.
The couple met six years ago on the set of the Sky One drama Jamestown and became engaged in 2019.They have never confirmed they are married but were both wearing rings on their wedding fingers in Barcelona, where Sophie has been filming The Diplomat, a six-part crime drama for the Alibi Channel, in which she plays Laura Simmons, a British consular worker.
Sophie, who starred alongside Suranne Jones in the recent second season of the BBC drama Gentleman Jack, last year announced the arrival of Henry on Instagram, writing: ‘Our little boy, who arrived safely and happily over the Easter weekend and changed the game forever. My little egg. My overflowing, grateful heart.’
The family moved to what Sophie called a ‘big rambling place in the Cotswolds’. In an interview with You magazine in February, she described juggling filming the sixth and last series of Peaky Blinders with being a new mother.
‘My baby was four weeks old when I went back, which was hugely intimidating ... My partner would bring the baby to me in the middle of the day so I could be with him. My trailer was full of nappies and a screaming baby,’ she said.
