Stephanie Davis at war with her family after Jeremy McConnell demands son Caben-Albi takes HIS surname

STEPHANIE Davis has fallen out with her parents over Jeremy McConnell's demands to give their infant son Caben-Albi HIS surname.

The 24-year-old and her male model baby-daddy are eager to create a stable home for the five-month-old tot, and officially naming him McConnell is all part of their plan.

But it seems Steph's family aren't convinced that giving the baby his dad's surname is enough to undo the pain and hurt he caused by denying and staying away from the fragile star during the entirety of her pregnancy.

A source close to the couple told The Sun online: "Understandably Steph's family are wary of Jeremy coming back in to her life and making big decisions.

"Yes Caben-Albi is his biological child, but from the moment he was conceived until he was born he was 'Baby Davis'.

"On every hospital visit, scan and document he was called 'Baby Davis' - to Steph's family, this is his identity.

"They've not forgotten she went through that pregnancy on her own, there was no help or support for Steph from Jeremy, just drama.

"That's one of the reasons why Caben-Albi suddenly becoming 'Baby McConnell' doesn't sit right with them at the moment.

"Jeremy still has to prove himself as a good dad to Caben and good partner to Stephanie."

Tensions over the baby's surname are running so high that Steph and her mum - who was by her side during her pregnancy and the birth - are currently estranged.

Pauline unfollowed Steph on Twitter on 26 May, with Steph following suit days later on 30 May.

At the time it wasn't clear what had driven the lookalike duo apart, despite reports that Pauline was finding it hard to welcome Jeremy, 27, back in to the family after his poor treatment of her beloved daughter.

A source told Bizarre: “Pauline has never liked Jeremy. She is really concerned about his and Stephanie’s toxic relationship.

“While she’s pretty icy about the whole thing and isn’t really on talking terms with Jeremy at the moment – he’s desperate to get her back onside.

“He thinks it will only strengthen his and Stephanie’s troubled relationship if they heal their rift.”

Jeremy has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to win back the support of her family as he goes all out to cement his relationship with Stephanie, who he fell in love with in the January 2016 series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Reps for Jeremy McConnell and Stephanie Davis have been approached for comment.
