Fair City star Ben Condron has shared his delight, as his partner Rachel is expecting their second child.
The happy couple are already parents to Bonnie, and can’t wait to expand their brood this summer.
Ben reveals while he and Rachel are obviously over the moon – it’s little Bonnie who is already counting down the days until her baby brother or sister arrives.
“We’re due in July so my daughter’s mainly excited about that over anything. I can’t wait,” he said on Dublin’s Q102.
He admits that while the pandemic has caused some worries, those around Ben and his family, have been incredibly careful.
“It’s quite scary but I suppose our bubble’s very small at home and we live in the countryside so that’s nice,” he said.
“In RTE it’s been great, everyone’s been very conscientious. Everything’s been really safe so I haven’t felt too at risk.”
As the country went into lockdown in 2020 and life slowed down, Ben was able to spend much more time with his family and watch his little girl grow up – something he’s very grateful for.
“I’m really loving the down time and the family time at the moment,” he said. “They grow so fast. Time is precious it’s the one thing you can’t get back.”
We wish them continued happiness!
