One fan commented: "Would you not want to enjoy that wee baby? Come on." Another fumed: "9 months to grow a baby and 9 months plus to recover. I'd have given myself the year off to focus on the baby and enjoy the first year of everything. I've had 2 - and those first few months are exhausting."
A third said: "Wow. Good luck. All I can say is I hope the baby sleeps for you." However, other fans came to the couple's defence.
One wrote: "spoiler alert - peoples lives don’t stop when they have a baby. they have to work in order to provide." A second typed: " @_dyuo4647 tell me you’re not a mum, without telling me you’re not a mum!"
Another fan stated: "They are only managing ok due to touring etc, that’s why they have to strike while the iron is hot to secure a good future for their baby. it’s a short tour and i’m pretty sure that little baby will be with them every step of the way."
Many fans were also thrilled to see the couple going back on tour. A fan said: "Can’t wait to find out dates! x"
A second shared: "Fingers crossed you’re playing in Norfolk , xxx." A third added: "Are the Belfast tickets from last year's show available for this year?
