Stephanie Davis shot to fame in Hollyoaks as the character Sinead O’Connor.

Last year she found love again and seems much more settled with Yorkshire lad Joe Mckalroy, who she has hailed the ‘love of her life’.

Tragically the couple, who have been together since early 2022, lost a baby when Stephanie miscarried last summer.

From ‘cheating’ in the Big Brother House to trysts with co-stars and a romance with a boy band A-lister, here is Stephanie’s rollercoaster love life in full.

Oliver Tasker

Before finding love with her current beau Joe, Stephanie was in a six-month relationship with bike shop worker Oliver Tasker.

Oliver works as a buyer for Formby Cycles in Liverpool - a biking megastore owned by his parents.

He began dating Stephanie at the start of summer 2021, but the pair split shortly in September that year weeks after she revealed she had suffered a devastating miscarriage.

A source also said at the time there were some 'issues with trust', adding: "They had a great six months together, but Steph respects herself too much to feel like she should stay in a relationship that isn’t working.”

Prior to dating Oliver, Stephanie was in a relationship with her Hollyoaks co-star Owen Warner, who plays Romeo Nightingale on the Channel 4 soap.

The pair dated for nine months lived together and were even rumoured to have gotten engaged.

But 23-year-old Owen reportedly told pals he felt 'suffocated' by the romance which single mum Stephanie was allegedly moving at '100 miles an hour'.

Steph revealed they had become so close that her son Caben, who she shares with ex Jeremy McConnell, even called Owen "daddy".

In September 2019, the Mirror exclusively revealed that Stephanie and Owen had split.

An insider told the Mirror at the time that Stephanie 'lost it' after he changed his profile photos on social media to ones without her and blocked her.

The source added: "It was all a bit too much for him - and him being the age he is found it very difficult to breathe. It was all very suffocating."

Owen has since dated Love Island star Lana Jenkins and is currently in a relationship with Jason Donovan's daughter Jemma, who joined the cast of Hollyoaks earlier this year.

Jacob Gill

Stephanie was linked to 'party animal' Jacob Gill in 2017 - with rumours the pair had even gotten engaged.

B ut a pal later told the Mirror the relationship was a 'fauxmance' and a bid to get back at Stephanie's previous ex Jeremy McConnell.

"This is all for Jeremy's benefit. All the posts that started appearing from her regarding Caben and his birthday are also to get a reaction from him," her close pal told us.

The couple are said to have gone their separate ways in January 2018.

Jeremy McConnell

Stephanie's most public relationship to date is with her ex, Jeremy McConnell.

They had one of the most rollercoaster relationships in reality TV history, meeting on the set of Celebrity Big Brother and instantly falling into an on-again-off-again pattern that dogged them until their very last fight.

Before they had even started their romance in the outside world, Jeremy was accused of cheating on her the night before the CBB final while she was still in the house, which he strongly denied.

Various other cheating rumours emerged throughout their relationship and there were claims it became violent between just two months in.

The pair were accused of trashing a hotel room on a holiday to Cape Verde, where their son Caben was reportedly conceived in April 2016.

When Stephanie told Jeremy she was pregnant, he reportedly dumped her and ignored her calls - and continued to deny paternity until Caben was born in January 2017.

It was only when a DNA test revealed he was the father that he took responsibility, although it is unclear if he sees Caben now after being convicted of attacking Stephanie in March 2016 leaving her black and blue.

A year later Jeremy was convicted of a horrific assault on Stephanie at her home in Liverpool while she was holding their eight-week-old son.

Stephanie revealed she had suffered a miscarriage due to the stress. It would have been their second child together.

In November 2019 Jeremy became a dad again when his girlfriend Katie McCreath gave birth to their daughter, Storm.

Sam Reece

Before going into the Big Brother house in 2016, Stephanie was in a relationship with Manchester model Sam Reece.

But despite saying she was going to marry Sam, she went on to cheat on him in front of the nation when she began a relationship with Jeremy McConnell.

Sam watched on from the outside world as Steph and Jez grew closer and closer - and are even said to have had sex in the reality show house.

Sam has since gone on to star in Ex On The Beach and had a role in Emmerdale.

Zayn Malik

Stephanie has also been linked to former One Direction star Zayn Malik and revealed she dumped him because he was seeing Perrie Edwards.

The actress admitted she dumped him in 2011 after she discovered he was meeting up with Perrie, who later became his fiancée.

She explained at the time: "We dated for five months in 2011 just before he started seeing Perrie. We actually broke up because I found out he had been meeting up with Perrie.

"It was just one of those things. Zayn is a good lad really, I don't have anything bad to say about him."

But his romance with Perrie didn't last and he went on to have a romance with US model Gigi Hadid. The pair now share a two-year-old daughter Khai, but are no longer together.
