We still have some fantastic memories of Ireland’s performances at the Rugby World Cup this past autumn, and it seems the celebrations are continuing for one Irish player.
Congratulations are in order this morning for Johnny Sexton and his wife Laura, who are reportedly expecting their second child.
While the news only broke this week, it is believed that baby number two is due to arrive into the world as early as next month. The couple are already parents to 19-month-old son Luca.
Johnny previously opened up about the struggle of balancing fatherhood with his strict training regime, admitting that being at home can be as busy as being out on the pitch.
“I try and do my fair share. You get pressure from the coaches to get your proper rest and your recovery in. You’ve got excuses all the time to stay in bed that extra hour, but I try to do my best when I’m home. It’s great spending time with Luca whenever I get the chance,” he told the Irish Independent.
Johnny and schoolteacher Laura are childhood sweethearts. They tied the knot back in July 2013 in a star-studded ceremony in Adare, Co. Limerick.
Congratulations to the family on their lovely news.
