Tragic loss

While Pippa O'Connor and Brian Ormond enjoy a full life with their three children, the couple did unfortunately experience a miscarriage after they had Louis.

"I went for my second scan and unfortunately there was no heartbeat," Pippa told her Instagram followers.

"We all know how common it is, unfortunately, but I still think it's kind of unsaid. I don't know when I would have said it if I wasn't lucky enough to be pregnant again now."

Their current family life

Pippa O'Connor and Brian Ormond now live in a stunning €1.3m Kildare house, having bought the luxury mansion back in 2017. The house is located within the exclusive K Club compound.
