A Baby Boy for Westlife Singer

Irish singer Shane Filan and his wife Gillian are celebrating the birth of their second child. The couple’s son Patrick Michael was born on Monday September15, weighing 6 lb. 8 oz.

The Westlife singer was “in awe” of his wife who opted for a natural delivery with little pain relief.

The couple opted for a delivery surprise. While Gillian was convinced she was carrying a boy, Shane was “sure it was going to be a girl.” However he’s “walking on air,” adding that is “very tired, but completely overjoyed.”

Shane is also looking forward to introducing Patrick to his big sister, three-year-old Nicole.

“It’s going to be a great moment to see her meeting her little bro for the first time. She knew there was a baby coming, but I think the reality will really hit her now.”

Congratulations to the new family!
