Alan Hughes has opened up about family plans, but unfortunately thinks it’s too late for him to start a family with his long term partner, Karl Broderick.

The pair who have been together for 22 years, and plan to tie the knot on September 30, have revealed that they don’t think they’ll ever have a child.

Speaking to The Herald, Alan said, “Unfortunately that’s something that has passed us by.

“I think we have reached the stage where that is something that isn’t going to happen for us.

“Maybe if the referendum happened years ago and we thought it would have been easier to adopt, we might have done it, but not at the moment.”

The news comes shortly after Brian Dowling revealed he can’t wait to start a family with his husband, Arthur Gourounlian.

Speaking about Brian’s announcement, Alan said, “We know Brian and Arthur well, and they would make wonderful parents.”
