The 10-year-old was filmed opening a box that said “open me” at a family party.
She then buried her face in her hands as she cried “happy tears” over the news.
Days later, Coronation Street actress Tina shared a quote on Instagram – which has since been deleted – leaving fans speculating that it was about Ryan and Lucy.
The quote read: “Don’t always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar.”
The post has since been removed from Tina’s Instagram but she posted another quote on Tuesday night which read: “Don’t waste your time with explanations.

“People will hear what they want to hear.”
Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section, with one writing: “Are you bitter towards the new announcement?”
Another sarcastically said: “These posts don’t coincide with the news of the ex’s baby at all…”
A third commented: “All attention seeking nonsense. Why be cryptic?? Who actually cares?”
Others defended Tina’s quote, with one saying: “Just because she puts up a quote does not mean it’s directly correlated to her ex!”

It showed the two of them opening a box that contained a tiny white babygrow, alongside the caption: “Best birthday present I’ve ever had. Love you @ryanthomas84.”
