TV stars Brian and Arthur ‘can’t wait’ to be parents
THEY’VE waltzed through life together for more than 15 years – and now TV presenter Brian Dowling and his Dancing With The Stars judge husband Arthur Gourounlian have announced they are to finally become parents later this year.
The couple have long talked about their desire to start a family. Speaking to The Irish Mail On Sunday recently, Arthur, 41, said ‘Having kids has always been my goal.’
‘We have to fight harder’
He added: I want to leave a legacy behind us. The baby train has definitely left so we are just waiting and waiting for the right time. Having a family is a numberone priority.’
Brian, 43, posted the exciting news on his Instagram, writing: ‘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 realise & understand how lucky & blessed we are for this to be happening.’
He continued: ‘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. We can’t wait to meet you, hug you & love you for the rest of our lives.
‘Baby Dowling Gourounlian is on the way people. We don’t know yet when the little bundle of joy is due to arrive, but it’s bound to be a very exciting few months in the Dowling Gourounlian household.’ The couple were inundated with congratulations, with their close friends Donal Skehan and Pippa O’Connor among those sending good wishes.
