The tot looked super adorable in a monkey t-shirt and shorts.

Samia, who plays Maria Connor in the soap, captioned the pic: “Yves is obsessed with his new set of wheels.. #onehappyboy#oldschooltoys 😄🚗💙😍 @littletikes.co.uk.”

One fan wrote: “How gorgeous is this little guy!”

“Gosh he’s getting such big boy looks well happy with his new car 😍,” another added.

A third said: “He is just the cutest little thing 💕.”

Samia is also a doting mum to Freya, seven, from her previous marriage.

The actress met Sylvain in 2013 when they were partnered together on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The soap star tied the knot with the professional skater at a lavish ceremony at Delamere Manor, a sprawling six-bedroom estate that was once owned by Take That singer Gary Barlow.

According to sources the couple arrived at their reception on a gold cart and the party went on until the early hours.

Speaking about her hopes for the big day Samia revealed at the time: “We’ve tried to keep our guest numbers down as much as possible to our really close friends and family as we want to be able to spend time with everyone and not get to the end of the day and feel like we’ve not had a chance to chat to all our guests.”

But their relationship hasn’t been plain sailing.

Their romance didn’t get off to the best start with rumours of cheating surrounding the pair.

At the time they got together Sylvain had been dating Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe for two years.

Within months Samia and Sylvain had moved in together.

But it proved to be a stressful time for the new couple. Samia previously revealed: “A few of Jennifer’s friends targeted me on Twitter and sent the most vile tweets you can ever imagine.

“They thought we had been having an affair behind her back and that I had stolen her man [but] it absolutely wasn’t true.”

This August the couple are set to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, but Samia admitted they haven’t yet planned what they will be doing to mark it.

She said: “I’ve got some holidays booked around that time but we’ve not actually booked anything yet so we’ll probably be celebrating with a cocktail somewhere nice,” she said.

“It’s flown by, it really has. But I think life does that when you get older, it’s just like life seems to be flashing before me.”
