A massive congratulations to them both.

Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore and comedian Iain Stirling have welcomed their first child – a baby girl.

Though they have yet to announce the news themselves, The Daily Mail snapped a picture of the new family out and about in London.

Laura revealed that she was pregnant last December.

In a post on Instagram she wrote:

“A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones and we’ve chosen not to share publicly.

“However I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share – and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lock down beer belly is out of control. Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021.”

“It’s been hard to keep such happy news quiet. Especially the times when I’ve had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.

“I wasn’t hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade! We’d appreciate our privacy respected but just wanted to spread some love and a reminder of the beauty of life.”

Laura and Iain met at a party in 2016 and starting dating one year later. The Love Island host and comedian initially tried to keep their relationship to themselves, as Laura flew over to the reality TV set in secret

The pair were married in a private, humanist ceremony in Dublin last November. In line with Ireland’s Covid-19 restrictions at the time, they married in front of 25 guests including Laura’s half-brother Adam and Iain’s sister Kirsten, who acted as witnesses.
