Looks like a huge congrats are in order.

Minister for Health Simon Harris has announced that he and his wife, Caoimhe Wade, are expecting their first child together.

He shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, posting a photo of the latest book he is reading: a self-help book titled “Pregnancy For Men”.

In the caption, he also revealed that the pair have ‘5 months to go’ before becoming parents – so it seems the little one is arriving in December.
