Doireann Garrihy has welcomed her first child with husband Mark Mehigan.
Baby Rosie’s birth was announced on Instagram, with her parents pictured holding the newborn in hospital. Garrihy captioned their first family portrait: “A love like this we’ve never known.”
Messages of congratulations flooded the comments on the post.
“Congrats Dolls,” wrote presenter and social media star James Patrice. Model Celia Holman Lee wrote: “Huge congratulations to you both on your beautiful baby girl.”
Garrihy’s mum, Clare, also shared her joy at the bith of her sixth grandchild: “Our dotie Rosie is here, safe and sound. How blessed are we?”
RTÉ 2FM presenter Garrihy and comedian Mehigan married last year, and in April shared they were expecting a baby.
Garrihy returned to radio earlier this year with her own drivetime show on RTÉ 2FM as part of the station’s new daytime and weekend schedule. She went on maternity leave from the station earlier this month.
