Table of Contents
Fair City actor Gerard Jordan and his partner, Jo, are preparing to expand their already large family, announcing they are expecting their ninth child.
Actor Gerard Jordan, best known for his role as Steo Nash on the popular Irish soap opera Fair City, shared the news via a video of a baby scan posted on Instagram. The couple, together for 12 years, welcomed their eighth child, daughter Halo, last year. Their other children are Jasper, Hugo, River, Sage, Saint, Zen, and Enzo.
A Growing Family and Shifting Priorities
Jordan first revealed his excitement about becoming a father at 25 in an interview with the Irish Independent in June of last year. “I have always loved the idea of a full, lively house,” he said. “The kind of place where there is always laughing or someone needing a snack or needing something.” This desire for a bustling home life has clearly shaped the trajectory of his life and career.
The actor acknowledged that starting a family led to a recalibration of his professional focus. “You have to pay the bills and unfortunately with the acting stuff, it pays the bills when it’s good, but when it’s bad, you could be out of work for a year or six months… so I had to do something else,” he explained. This pragmatic approach highlights the challenges faced by many performers navigating the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry.
On-Screen Success and Family Support
Despite the demands of a large family, Jordan continues to enjoy success on Fair City, an RTÉ One production. He shared a heartwarming anecdote about his daughter, River, who is a dedicated viewer of the show. “River loves watching it and calls when I am on,” Jordan revealed, demonstrating the strong connection between his professional and personal life.
The actor’s story offers a compelling glimpse into the joys and complexities of balancing a thriving career with the rewards of a large and loving family. It underscores the enduring appeal of Fair City and the dedicated fanbase that connects with its stars both on and off screen.
