Daniel O’Donnell and wife Majella have welcomed their fourth grandchild into the world.
The Donegal crooner is a stepdad to his wife Majella’s kids, Michael and Siobhan and they’ve been in his life since they were nine and eleven.
Michael and his wife Sarah, who got married last July in Tuscany, Italy, welcomed a son into the world last week.
Sarah is from Australian and the happy pair now live in Melbourne together.
And Daniel says he feels “blessed” by the new addition to the family.
Daniel and Majella heard the good news while on holidays in Tenerife.
Speaking told the Irish Examiner: “A wee boy called Jack, born early this morning, 4am in Australia. He’s not a day old yet!
“There’s great excitement. It’s a shame we’re so far away; all we’re getting at the moment is pictures, but it’ll be great to connect with what’s happening over the next couple of days. We’ll have live WhatsApps.”
Daniel has three other grandchildren, Archie, Olivia, and Luke and he often gushes over his happy family.
The 63-year-old said: “It’s beyond what you could hope for, especially in my case, because Siobhan and Michael aren’t biological to me, I’m their stepfather, but I’ve had them in my life since they were 11 and nine.
“And I’m blessed — there’s never been any issues or disagreements, never a bit of bother even in their teens.
“I recently spent a week in Banbridge with Siobhan and Gavin and the three children. And even if Majella wasn’t there, I’d still stay with Siobhan. I’ve a great connection with them.”
Daniel and Majella have been married for over 22 years as they tied the knot on November 4, 2002 at St Mary’s Church in Kincasslagh, Donegal.
