Diona Doherty and husband and husband Sean Hegarty welcome into the world their second child, son Rocky
The actress, writer and comedian gave birth to her second child via IVF on Sunday.
On Monday, the comic pair announced the birth of their baby boy named Rocky.
“My wife is a superhero! Rocky Hegarty. 04.06.23 / 9lb 05oz,” Sean said in an Instagram post.
They have been inundated with well-wishes and congratulations from friends and fans.
Back in 2020, Diona and Sean spoke of their journey with IVF ahead of the birth of their first child Winter after a six-year process to start their family.
Diona previously explained how she travelled on her own to the Czech Republic to undergo the embryo transfer for their second baby.
“All went really well and it was a first-time successful embryo transfer this time so I was pregnant straight away,” the comedian and actress said.
Diona Doherty’s hugely successful original play, Bridesmaids of Northern Ireland, goes on a UK-wide tour next month, starting in southeast England and finishing in Ayr in late August.
The pair have written and produced a Christmas show, Elf In Belfast, which will show at the Grand Opera House, Belfast, later in the year.
Diona’s second solo comedy play The Hen Do tours Northern Ireland from September to October and it’s billed to be a laugh-out-loud night that sees the return of much-loved characters.
