Sinead said: "Oh boy. We’ve been in a love bubble for the last while. Our little baba has arrived safe and sound. Theo Will Kirwan has made our family complete. We’re all in love with the new man in our lives - Indie especially is chuffed with her little brother."

The Today Show presenter added: "We could not be more proud, grateful and happy.

"Thank you so very much to everyone who helped to ensure Theo’s safe arrival and for looking after us so well whilst in CUMH.

"Back to the newborn snuggles I go."

Sinead shared the news that they were expecting their second child together during the summer ahead of her return to the RTÉ afternoon show. She once again linked up with her co-host, and friend, Dáithí O'Sé for two months before she left to go on maternity leave.

Now that the little one has arrived safe and sound Sinead plans to leave Ireland to be with Conor in Belgium for the remainder of her time off.

Ahead of the birth, she told RSVP Magazine: "That’s what I did last time [go to Belgium] and it was lovely.

"It means that Conor is not flying over and back, we’re not exhausted and we can have proper family quality time together.

"We will spend Christmas in Cork, we wouldn’t have it any other way, and we will head to Brussels in the new year when passports are sorted. I’m looking forward to that."

This pregnancy was different for Sinead because she was based in Belgium during the summer and there were pandemic restrictions in place in Ireland when she welcomed Indie in 2021.

Sinead said: "It was interesting because I was in Belgium for a good chunk of it. It was never going to be the same as last time anyway because I was pregnant with Indie during the height of the pandemic.

"It was a very unusual experience, but because it was my first I had nothing to compare it to. All I knew was that Conor wasn’t there and even if he was, he wasn’t going to be in a position to be with me.

"This time around it has been a lovely experience for us both that he can be at the various scans. I’m loath to say this to Irish people because it was a wash-out of a summer in Ireland, but it was very hot in Belgium."
