Stephen West, the son of infamous serial killers Fred and Rose West, is set to marry his model fiancee this summer.
Despite alleged concerns from her family, Emma Bradley chose to settle down with 51-year-old Stephen, and the couple recently welcomed a daughter named Eden. Their baby girl will never meet her infamous grandparents – Fred died by suicide in 1995 while awaiting trial for 12 murders, and Rose is currently serving a life sentence for the rape, torture, and murder of 10 women and girls. in an update, Stephen said he has since severed all contact with his mother.
Emma’s family reportedly expressed alarm over Stephen’s criminal past. He previously served time for engaging in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl, for which he was convicted of seven counts of underage sex. West was jailed for nine months in 2004 after admitting sex with the teen, and getting her pregnant. He then forced her to have an abortion.

He was prevented from working with girls and put on the sex offenders register. Stephen has acknowledged the darkness in his background, once saying, “There’s a bit of my dad in me.”
But Emma and Stephen are head over heels in love, and planning to marry him this August at the five-star Celtic Manor hotel in Newport, where an exclusive 2025 wedding package starts at £5,500 for 50 guests, plus £105 per additional person.
The couple now live together in Abbeymead, Gloucester – just five miles from 25 Cromwell Street, the infamous “House of Horrors” where Fred and Rose committed their crimes.
After modelling for publications such as Nuts and Zoo in her early twenties, Emma has transitioned to a career in healthcare and now works as a nurse at Gloucester Royal Hospital. She previously dated public figures such as ex-Arsenal footballer Paul Merson and singer Dane Bowers.
Following reports that Rose may be in poor health at HMP New Hall in West Yorkshire, Emma told The Sun that neither she nor Stephen are in contact with her. “Stephen doesn’t want to say anything because his main priority is the little ones,” she said. “He is adamant, at this time of his life he’s got a young family to protect.”
Emma and Stephen’s children ‘don’t know about the family history’. Emma believes they are “old enough to be aware but too young to understand”.
“I have my own family and children now and for me, it’s all about protecting them,” Stephen said in a May 2025 interview. “My kids don’t know about the family history. My only concern is my own children.”
On July 23, 1994, Stephen married his 18-year-old girlfriend Andrea Davis at St George’s Church, Brockworth, Near Gloucester. However, it is not known when they split.
He has two children from a previous relationship.
