RTE's Marie Crowe opens up about 'zen' fourth child as she shares adorable name
In March, Marie welcomed her fourth child, daughter Jessie with husband Billy Sheehan. The couple also have three sons: Timmy (13), Billy (11) and Davie (8).
Speaking about her new baby, she said: "It's busy but we're used to having a busy life so it's fine. I went back to work a little bit earlier than I had anticipated because of the Women's Euros and I made a decision to work on them.
'My husband is a teacher, and he's off during the summer so it has worked out well. I'm loving the Women's Euros.
'I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to do something that I really wanted to do and that I have worked hard to get to do, so I will not be feeling bad about having to go to work because I chose to.
'I love showing the kids as well that it's okay to make decisions and go and do something that you really want to do."
Four-month-old Jessie, she says, is an easy baby.
"I always say that when I had the three boys together, it was like living in a tornado and then Jessie is so Zen. She's so good humoured and laughs all the time. She's brilliant,' she told the RTE Guide.
