Síle Seoige has opened up about the excitement of expecting her first child with partner Damien O’Farrell.
The presenter-turned-yogi, who recently got the all clear from thyroid cancer after five years, is set to welcome her first child into the world this July and she feels very fortunate to be pregnant following her major health scare.
“After going through something so scary with cancer, now I’m with child. I just feel really, really lucky.” she said on RTE’s Today.
The Gaeilgeoir and her other half can’t wait for their “little munchkin” to arrive, and Síle can’t stop gushing about her devoted hubby.
“He’s an absolute gem – we’re both just over the moon, we’re so happy. We’re so lucky. You never know, if I was to go back in time and someone was to show me a crystal ball of my future – we’re only together two years and we’re so, so happy – and now we have this amazing new chapter in our lives about to begin,” she said.
“They’re so happy on both sides of the family. The excitement is unbelievable – another munchkin. We’re just baby mad in our house so the idea of another little munchkin in the house, they’re both so happy about it.”
However, the seasoned presenter revealed that her medical team are keeping a close eye on her because of her history with thyroid cancer.
“Being pregnant, I am in for a lot more bloods. Everything is going on anyway and obviously now being pregnant, not having a thyroid gland is something else to contend with so they’re monitoring it.” she said.
We wish Síle the very best with the final few months of her pregnancy!
