Big Brother winner Brian Dowling's sister was reunited with the “miracle baby” she carried for her brother and his husband.
Brian and his Dancing with the Stars star husband Arthur Gourounlian welcomed their first child, named Blake Maria Rose Dowling Gourounlian, via surrogate in September.
The Big Brother 2001 winner enlisted the help of his younger sister Aoife who carried the “beautiful little baby” from an unknown egg donor.
Previously praising his “phenomenal” sister, Brian said last week that everyone is now safely out of hospital and Aoife was being looked after by his sisters back in Ireland.
“We are on the phone to her the whole time. She is in flying form – and Aoife has just been phenomenal through all of this.”
Telling fans his plan for that day, he added: “I’m going to be one of those parents when baby sleeps, Daddy sleeps.
“I’m now going to get up, wash the hair, wash the face, ready for the next feed - we have this!”
Just yesterday he shared an adorable update as Aoife was reunited with baby Blake.
Sharing a picture of his sister cradling his daughter, Brian penned: “Today was REUNION TIME in the Dowling Gourounlian household.
“We had a little visitor in the form of @effidy_dowling_️ It was an emotional reunion as the tears flowed. Times like this are so special.
“I still find it hard to believe that Aoife, Arthur and I created this BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY. Blake LOVES her Aunty Aoife so much and was so content in her arms.
“How SENSATIONAL does Aoife look especially only 5 days after giving birth.”
Husband Arthur replied to the gushing post, he said: “And of course, we managed to squeeze in a TikTok would have been rude not right WE LOVE YOU auntie Effidy.”
One fan said: “This does everything for my heart and soul such a selfless beautiful act, I'm super happy for you all Blake will be so loved.”
Another said: “Blake’s a lucky girl, she is the only one to have heard her AMAZING auntie Aoife’s heart beat from the inside, a bond that will never be broken.”
A third said: “Beautifully beautiful. An angel to bring another angel into the world. Beautiful family. Sending love and blessing to you all.”
“Aoife is a legend........an absolute legend and mind her & hold her too. You guys rock, so happy for you & Blake you have all the love in the World. Congratulations everyone,” penned a fourth.
