James Nesbitt all smiles as he's seen for the first time since co-parenting revelation

James Nesbitt was pictured at Cheltenham Festival for the first time since it was revealed he agreed to co-parent the baby of his girlfriend Katy Gleadhill.

It was recently revealed that the Cold Feet actor, 58, rekindled his romance with Katy, 40, after she welcomed a baby.

He first split with her two years ago when it was reported she wanted to concentrate on having a child before she turned 40 years old.

She ended up welcoming a daughter last year with the help of a mysterious close friend.

And now, James had a pep in his step as he was seen on day four of Cheltenham this week.

He smiled for the cameras as he rocked a blue button-up shirt, a stripy red tie and a classic tweed coat.

In one picture, the star looked dapper as he talked to someone on the phone.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the actor and Katy have been getting closer to each other again.

After calling him an "amazing guy", a source claimed being with his girlfriend is what's most important to him and he "understands the baby is part of that".

Earlier this month, it was said he reunited with Katy (PA)

"It’s definitely a very modern set-up but everyone is happy and that’s all that matters.

"...He cares about her and they remain close, so he has been taking on some ‘daddy duties’ even though the decision to have a child was an entirely independent one taken by the mother at a time when they weren’t together."

The source added to The Sun that James wants to help Katy with what he can.

James and his partner first got together in 2015 and were pictured together at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards that same year.

Unfortunately for the couple, things came to an end and it was reported that the duo had differing opinions when it came to having children.

James already shares two children, Peggy, 26, and Mary, 22, with actress Sonia Forbes-Adam.

The star and Sonia - who is the daughter of the Reverend Sir Timothy Forbes Adam - got married in 1994.

He met her when he was at a final call-back for Hamlet at Loughborough Hall in 1989.
