Ireland rugby star Cian Healy and wife Laura welcome arrival of baby boy

Cian Healy has welcomed a baby boy with his stunning wife Laura - and it's the first anyone has heard of it!

The Ireland rugby legend and his spouse - who married in a fairy tale Galway wedding in 2019 - managed to keep her pregnancy quiet for nine months as the country went in and out of lockdown.

However, the proud new dad finally took to social media this evening to announce that the couple had welcomed their first child earlier this month.

Sharing an photo of the little tot’s feet on Instagram, Cian wrote:

He wrote: ‘I’ve been in awe of @ssssmithser for a very long time, even more so now having seen how she has taken to motherhood so well and proven that she is our family’s rock."

The sports icon also revealed his little lad's name - and we're sure the youngster will live up to the moniker which is the French word for beautiful.

Cian continued: "We welcomed baby Beau Healy to the world on 15th January and every day since we have been loving and learning. I could sit and stare at him all day long!"

Pals and fans flocked to Cian's page to congratulate him.

One fan commented: "Mr.Beaubastic"

Another wrote: "Welcome to the best team in the world  #parenthood. A love like no other"

Meanwhile a third said: "Congratulations to you both and welcome to the world young Beau!"

The Ireland and Leinster prop said "I do" to his teenage sweetheart in front in a number of high profile faces after popping the question back in December 2017.

The couple first started dating in school, but a move to New York for Laura meant that the couple split in 2012. However, they reunited three years later on her return to Ireland.

Leinster star Healy previously dated former Miss Ireland and Dancing with the Stars contestant Holly Carpenter.

However, they ended their relationship back in 2014.
