Such a lovely photo.

Last week John McAreavey and his wife Tara Brennan revealed that they had given birth to their first child, a baby boy.

The couple who married in a private ceremony in 2016 shared a beautiful family photo to social media to announce their son’s arrival.

Only days after sharing the good news John posted another photo to social media of Tara holding baby James, out for a winter stroll.

James’ face can be seen peering over his mother’s shoulder in his little furry onesie.

Those who have been following John’s journey online were absolutely ecstatic at his good news last week and delighted that he was finally getting a happy ever after.

John tragically lost his first wife Michaela in 2011 after she was murdered on their honeymoon.

John has and is still working tirelessly to bring those responsible for Michaela’s murder to justice.

He and Tara met in 2012 at an event in memory of his late wife Michaela and were later married in 2016.

John and Michaela’s family are still fighting for answers as to what happened to her after the two hotel workers, Avinash Treebhoowoon and Sandip Moneea, who were charged with the murder of Michaela were later acquitted.
