Ireland rugby star Tadhg Furlong and his wife welcome a baby girl
Ireland rugby star Tadhg Furlong and his wife Aine Lacey have welcomed a baby girl into their lives.
The couple who wed in the summer of 2023 had their first child only a couple of weeks ago.
Furlong has not made their addition to the family public across social media.
The very private couple, who live between Campile in Co Wexford and Dublin, wed in a discreet ceremony and enjoyed a glamorous reception at the Dunbrody Country House Hotel in south Wexford.
The couple enjoyed a civil ceremony wedding and reception – which spanned three days at the hotel, and in two pubs.
The Grand Slam winning tight head prop has returned into the Irish team ahead of the start date of February 1st when Ireland play longtime rivals England in the Six Nations tournament.
The family centric 32-year-old marked the first anniversary of his father James ‘Suzie’ death last month.
His wife, Margaret, has been supported by her sons Eoin and Tadhg, her daughter-in-law Áine, her husband’s sister Ann, Eoin’s partner Laura, aunts Kitty (Joy) and Marie, brothers-in-law Danny, James and Tim, sister-in-law Mary along with many cousins and friends at the time of the funeral.
Speaking at his father's funeral in Horeswood, Co Wexford Tadhg said: "If you crossed paths with him, there aren’t many words I can say which describe him to you any better than the stories, memories or the things you’ve done with him throughout the years.
"To me my father was a larger-than-life character. A stoic man, a positive man, a man unbelievably comfortable in his own skin. He did so much for us and took such pride in us and all our pursuits. A man who brought Eoin and I up in the school of life, he was a real lovable rogue.
"If there was ever a backward route or tricky way of doing things, he’d find it. Be that by barter, favours or slipping you a stash of my training kits on the side."
