Brooke Vincent has been up since 6am when she arrives at our shoot a few hours later. The actress has already put a clothes wash on, had her food shop delivered and made sons Mexx and Monroe packed lunches for when they join her for photos in the afternoon.
Brooke boldly left her career-defining role as Sophie Webster in Coronation Street to focus on family life in 2019 and has put all of her being into bringing up Mexx, two, and 16-month-old Monroe ever since. But on our shoot, the actress is intent on marking a new chapter – one where she is reclaiming her identity beyond motherhood and focusing on herself.
“I don’t know where I’ve got this newfound confidence from but I’ll wear dresses and tight skirts because that’s what I like. My friends are like, ‘Where have you come from?’ I just appreciate myself and my body more.” Her journey of rediscovering herself comes after a roller-coaster few years. And even though Brooke is intrigued by the idea of adding a daughter, she says her family is complete for now after facing the challenge of adjusting to parenting two children.
True to her ambitions of celebrating herself as she turned 30, Brooke went all out and threw a huge party at Manchester Hall for her milestone birthday on 4 June with two cakes, a tropical selfie wall, a star-studded guestlist – including Corrie pals Ryan Thomas, Helen Flanagan and Sally Dynevor – and a garden party for close friends and family. She also had a three-day girls’ getaway to Ibiza with 11 school friends, before Kean whisked her away for three days.
She has been with the footballer since 2016, when they were introduced by mutual friends, and until now she has kept the proposal top secret, explaining, “There’ve been times with the girls in my group where people have tried to document their engagements with film crews but what I love about it is that everything from that day was just of our memory. It was very personal and very much about us.”
“Then I got down on one knee too. I couldn’t believe what was happening. He was crying, I was crying. He told me the reasons he wanted to marry me. I’ve never felt so loved, I was overwhelmed.” “Kean is so caring. He lets me chat the socks off him. The best way I can describe him without sounding really cheesy is he’s everything I’d want my boys to be. When I’d just had Mexx and I’d had my C-section, I didn’t really understand the aftermath of a C-section or the pain that I’d be in.
