They have already brought their little man home, as Aisling filmed a black-and-white video of her hubby carrying him out of the hospital, before taking over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisling gave her son the sweetest Irish name and shared a sweet tribute to the newborn on social media.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Screenshot-2026-11-02-192818_1e91d6.jpg\" alt=\"Aisling O'Reilly welcomes her first baby.

A name of courage, strength and bravery. A love like no other.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00e9tanta is the given childhood name of the legendary Irish hero C\u00fa Chulainn, nephew of King Conchobar mac Nessa. The name evokes a fiercely loyal, brave protector who stands his ground in the face of danger. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisling also shared a black-and-white selfie of the family of three, as the couple cuddled up in bed with their little one. Famous faces flocked to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DfP7bnbCJNM\/?img_index=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">comment section<\/a> to congratulate the couple.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Screenshot-2026-11-02-192807.jpg\" alt=\"Aisling O'Reilly welcomes her first baby.

Later on that day, the Meath native posted her news in a very creative way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holding a GAA football in front of her, the camera begins to zoom out. As it does, she drops the ball to reveal her bump. In the caption, she wrote, &#8216;Our greatest teammate is on the way.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations to the happy couple!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is a happy day in Aisling O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s house as the sports presenter welcomed her first child, alongside&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-673076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
