Former Big Brother winner Brian Dowling has revealed that his sister Aoife is surrogate for his and husband Arthur's baby.
The 43 year old presenter announced on social media last week that he and his husband Arthur Gourounlian were expecting a baby via surrogate.
In a video, Brian compiled a montage of the moment they found out their surrogate was pregnant, along with sonograms of the growing foetus.
The presenter wrote: "It COMPLETELY FILLS OUR HEARTS @gourounlian to be able to reveal we are PREGNANT & due to our BEAUTIFUL bundle of joy later this year,"
"We actually never thought this day would be a reality for us. We fully realize & understand how lucky & blessed we are for this to be happening.
"For a lot of us out there & especially people from our community we have to fight harder & push harder for what others consider to be something that can be achieved easily.
"Myself & Arthur have been keeping the BIGGEST secret the past few months but it’s put the BIGGEST SMILES in our HEARTS & on our FACES.
Today, Brian once again took to social media to reveal that his sister Aoife is his surrogate, and is pregnant from an egg donor.
The presenter posted a sweet snap of himself, his sister and Arthur, as they beamed and cradled his sister’s growing bump.
He wrote: “Not only is this my BEAUTIFUL sister Aoife, she is also our INCREDIBLE Surrogate.”
He continued: From our very first conversation about this back in 2019 to where we are now is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING @effidy_dowling_ you have gone above & beyond for us @gourounlian whether it is mentally or physically & you have stayed so POSITIVE & UPBEAT through it all,
“From Ultra Sounds & Ovulation tests to numerous conversations about your Cycle, to those 4 positive pregnancy tests we took where the 3 of us hugged & cried with happiness & excitement. We have been through every step of this together reassuring each other along the way that everything will be fine once we stick together".
Paying tribute to his sister, Brian said: “Aoife you are an INSPIRATION to all of us. You are literally giving us THE GIFT OF LIFE. So to you Aoife & our wonderful Egg Donor none of this would be possible without you both. From the bottom of our hearts thank you.
He ended the sweet note writing: I’m so happy to confirm that both Aoife & baby are doing BRILLIANTLY”.
