Coronation Street fans were surprised to discover that actress Katy Cavanagh, best known for portraying Julie Carp, is the mother of two well-known actors. Cavanagh, 52, played Julie on the show from 2008 to 2015 and returned for a brief stint last year in a storyline alongside Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw.
In a dramatic turn of events, Julie’s character was written out of the show after revealing her battle with cancer. Apart from her work on Coronation Street, Cavanagh has been recognized for her roles in various television series and movies, including The Cops, The Bill, Bob and Rose, and Murder on the Blackpool Express.
However, Katy’s family boasts more than one talented individual. She and her producer husband Chris Jupe are proud parents to three children, including their actor sons Noah, 20, and Jacobi, 12. Both Noah and Jacobi recently starred in the film Hamnet alongside Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, and Joe Alwyn.
In Hamnet, Jacobi portrayed the character of Hamnet Shakespeare, while Noah took on the role of Hamlet. Prior to their appearance in Hamnet, Jacobi had roles in the 2023 Disney film Peter Pan and Wendy, as well as in TV shows like Britannia, Tom Jones, and Before. Meanwhile, Noah has built an impressive acting portfolio, featuring in movies like A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part II, The Undoing, Suburbicon, and Ford v Ferrari.
Speaking to Variety, Noah shared insights into his family’s background in the entertainment industry, highlighting how their expertise has been instrumental in his career. Recently, Katy proudly attended the 2026 BAFTA Tea Party in Beverly Hills with her sons, setting the stage for the upcoming BAFTA Film Awards, known for predicting Oscars success.
