It has already been an exciting morning for celebrity baby news, with the announcement that Kevin Zegers has become a dad, and now we have yet another lovely report to share.

 

According to sources this morning, goalkeeper and Irish soccer legend Shay Given is expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Becky Gibson.

 

The 39-year-old’s agent, Mark Devlin, confirmed the news to The Irish Sun, saying: “Shay and Becky are extremely happy together and are very excited to welcome their new arrival to the world.”

 

“From my point of view, I’ve never seen Shay as happy as this, and I wish them all the happiness in the world,” he added.

 

 

While this will be the first child for Shay and Becky, the footballer is already dad to nine-year-old son Shayne and six-year-old Sienna; his children from his first marriage, to Jane Cunningham. Shay and Jane, who wed in 2001, divorced in June of last year.

 

Given isn’t the only Irish football star to share exciting baby news in recent times. Just last month, Robbie Keane took to Facebook to reveal that he and wife Claudine are expecting their second child.

 

Congratulations to Shay and Becky on their lovely news.
