Ireland rugby star Tadhg Beirne and his wife, Harriet, have welcomed their first child together, just days before Christmas.
The Munster star, 33, and his long-term love announced the happy news earlier today on social media. Taking to Instagram, the couple shared an adorable black and white picture of the two of them holding a baby’s tiny hand.
Harriet revealed that she had given birth to a baby girl in the post and shared that they had decided to call her Penelope Robyn Beirne.
In the lead-up to welcoming their little girl, Harriet had been posting plenty of lovely pics of the couple, as well as letting her followers in on her baby prep, including decorating the nursery.
It wasn’t long before the couple were flooded with well-wishes from family and friends, as the ‘congratulations’ comments quickly rolled in under Harriet’s post.
The baby announcement comes after a busy summer for Tadhg, who took part in the British & Irish Lions Tour in Australia.
Harriet flew out to support her husband as the team, managed by Ireland coach Andy Farrell, beat Australia.
Tadhg and Harriet tied the knot in a beautiful summer wedding at Kilkea Castle in Kildare three years ago. The stunning couple were surrounded by family and friends, including Tadhg’s rugby teammates and his sister, model Alannah Beirne.
Tadhg and Harriet started dating in 2018, after meeting on a night out in Cardiff following his return to Munster after playing for Welsh side Scarlets.
However, the Welsh beauty followed Tadhg home to Limerick, and the rest is history. In 2020, Tadhg popped the question to Harriet after two years of dating.
The sports star planned a romantic Christmas proposal, sharing on social media at the time: “Making 2020 one to remember, feeling very lucky.”
