The Fair City star and his wife Rachel Smyth welcomed their second child together just last week. With three years between their son Frankie and newborn Kody, George told Simon Delaney and Anna Daly that he forgot how “magical” the first few days are with a newborn.
“Three years between Frankie and him, you just forget how magical — and tiring — those first couple of days are.”
“The place is upside down; we don’t know whether it’s night or day. It kind of feels like Vegas without the craic,” he joked.
George spoke about the attention that new mothers get compared to new fathers saying, “I think the reason we don’t get as much attention is we really don’t put ourselves through as much trauma as the women do…When the baby is born, of course, people ask how the mammy is doing because, obviously, childbirth is quite a traumatic experience, so it’s not something I’m going to lose sleep about if I don’t get as much attention as Mammy”.
George took to Instagram to share the baby news last week after Rachel gave birth, he posted a snap of the newborn’s tiny hand and captioned it, “Yesterday our lives changed again for the better.”
“We welcomed Kody Bloom McMahon to the world. We are bursting with love.”
Congratulations to the happy family!
