Westlife star Mark Feehily and fiancé Cailean O’Neill welcomed their first bundle of joy together – a bouncing baby girl, born two days ago.
The Flying Without Wings hitmaker took to Instagram to announce the happy news, revealing they’ve become dads for the first time. “Baby Layla born safe and sound @7.27pm on October 1st 2019! We’re the happiest Dads in the world!” he said.
The couple announced they were expecting back in May, and their first child was expected to be born via surrogate.
The singer revealed the gender of their baby back in July while live on stage during Westlife’s tour concert at Croke Park in Dublin. Markus announced that they couldn’t wait for her to “grow up in this country.”
The couple revealed they would be becoming dads when Markus posted a sweet snap of them and an ultrasound on Instagram. He said it was the “proudest moment of [their] lives,” announcing the news on his birthday this year.
Exciting times are ahead for the couple as they are also planning to tie the knot soon. Markus and Cailean got engaged in February after six years of dating.
Congrats to the happy couple!
