Former RTÉ 2fm presenter Eoghan McDermott has welcomed a baby boy with his partner Alessandra Heredia.
Eoghan shared the happy news via an sweet Instagram post, while also revealing his son's name: Kevin Mateo McDermott.
"Welcome to the world, precious boy. You are so very loved. Named after my Papa (and his new Grandpa) - the wisest, kindest man of all. Mam said the other day "oh it's Kev and Kev Óg"... so perhaps 'Kev Óg' will stick," he revealed.
He also praised the medical staff in Holles St Hospital, calling them "earth angels". "You are ferocious and wonderful people."
He also made a commitment to try his best to be a good parent. "I'll take the best of what is good and strong and true and do my best to be a wonderful father.
"And of course, thank you beyond what words will ever capture [Alessandra Heredia] for a life-defining gift. You are magic in a bottle and Baby Kev will be all the richer in all the ways with you as his mother, that I know.
"Here's to the next...and greatest, adventure. Failte, Kevin Mateo."
Eoghan also posted some very cute snaps of baby Kevin meeting his grandparents, as well as some photos of him all tucked up in his crib and sleeping.
People rushed to wish the couple well in the Instagram comments.
"Magic. Congratulations to you all," one poster said.
"Welcome to the world little one," added another.
"Congratulations.. what a little beauty.. may all his dreams be within reach and may he have the health to enjoy them," a poster said.
"Ohhhhh my goodness Eoghan!!! Your precious boy. Thrilled for you both, welcome to the world Kevin Óg," another follower added.
"Huge Congratulations to you both & Rua….. welcome to the world Baby Kevin," a further commenter said.
"Congratulations. What a gorgeous, fresh, squishy bundle of love. Welcome Kev Óg, welcome," another person wrote.
The couple announced back in November that they were expecting their first child together.
Eoghan has stayed out of the limelight since his sudden departure from 2fm back in 2021.
He previously hosted the breakfast show with Doireann Garrihy, but was eventually replaced by Donncha O'Callaghan and Carl Mullan.
