Rob Kearney ‘very excited' to become a father for the second time
His wife Jess Redden announced her pregnancy on social media this week.
Former rugby star Rob Kearney has said he is 'very excited' to become a father for the second time.
The 39-year-old is expecting another child with his wife Jess Redden.
The influencer announced her pregnancy this week, with a sweet Instagram post.
'One more reason to believe in magic, a little more love is on the way,' she captioned a photo, which showed her holding their firstborn Bobby above her growing bump.
Appearing on Virgin Media's Ireland AM today, he told reporter Deric Hartigan 'Number two is on the way.'
Kearney said that he's been told having two kids, is the same as having one.
"It is funny, speaking to so many people and the likes of Tommy [Bowe] as well who have two, they said it's a piece of cake so I don't know what the big deal of having more than one is.
"We are 20 weeks so halfway there," he shared.
"It's great, we are very excited. Little Bobby is going to be a big brother.
"He doesn't know too much of it yet, his world is going to be turned upside down for a few weeks but he will be fine.'

What could you buy for €250m? From a private island to a famous footballer
Ireland has a newest millionaire after Tuesday night's life changing EuroMillions win, the largest in Irish history. One lucky player managed to scoop up €250 million, putting them into the same league as some of Ireland's wealthiest people, affording them the opportunity to purchase some of the most lavish luxury items in the world. When Limerick's Dolores McNamara snapped her €115 million EuroMillions win, she kept a mainly quiet life, but did purchase a lot of property - for herself and her family. On the other hand, UK Lotto winner Michael Carroll won millions in 2002, but lost it all years later. What could Ireland's newest millionaire do with €250 million? Quite a lot. You could purchase a castle, a private island, a super yacht, even a football team. We put together a list of some of the top items the lucky winner can make their own. There are a considerable number of islands up for sale in Ireland, and around the world, the Tuesday night's EuroMillions player could purchase if they fancied. The lucky winner would be able to buy up a number of islands in the Bahamas or South Pacific, with a price tag ranging from €38 million right up to €160 million for an island off the coast of Thailand. But if they wanted to stay close to home, Shore Island off Galway would only set them back just over €1 million. Now if one decided to purchase one of these south pacific islands, they might need to leave some spare change to get a private jet or a super yacht to ensure they can get there with no stress. What says high society more than a private collection of some of the finest works of art? With €250 million in the bank one could theoretically afford to purchase some of the most expensive works that have ever gone to auction. While some are understandably still out of the price range of someone with a few hundred million, French post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne's The Card Players, bought by the oil rich nation of Qatar back in 2011, cost around €250 million at the time - one of the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction. Now if Qatar doesn't want to sell it back at the original price, our lucky EuroMillions winner could still pick up Paul Gauguin's Nafea Faa Ipoipo (When Will You Marry?), worth around €242,565,455, or Rembrandt's Pendant portraits of Maerten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit for around €207,789,046. With the €250 million in the bank, the sky is the limit, well in 2025 it isn't really anymore. With hundreds of millions in your pocket, some of the world's most expensive super yachts are attainable. The Rising Sun superyacht, built in 2004, is valued at around €173 million, and sports a wine cellar and basketball court on board. With a bit of a price tag of just over €4 million dollars the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita could be yours, and with most top range sports cars fitting in this bracket, a whole fleet is on the cards. If you wanted to purchase a private jet, say a VIP airliner like a Boeing, this would cost just over €100 million, but a smaller one would only run you up to €7 million, so the choice is yours (if you are the lucky winner that is.) You could also broach the final frontier and head to space via a SpaceX Dragon capsule, which costs around $60.8 million per seat. €250 million bucks can get you a hell of a lot, or very little, in the football world. If you wanted to splash it all out on one player, Spanish teenager Lamine Yamal, who plays for FC Barcelona, will set you back the most, €200 million, according to Transfermarkt - although his release fee could be much higher. If that is just too much for one player, splashing out just over €220 million could get you both Julian Alvarez and Declan Rice. You could also buy a small fixe-upper club and bolster it with a few smaller fry players, following the footsteps of US actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who splashed out just €2.5 million for the then failing Welsh football club Wrexham AFC. With €250 million under the belt, it seems like a stunning chateaux, castle or mansion is a necessary purchase, or if modern luxury is your thing - a multi-million dollar New York or London apartment. A stunning French countryside chateaux will set you back around €5 million, although the most expensive 36 room spot is on the market for €53 million. If a modern pad is more your vibe, a central New York apartment can set you back around €22 million, so both are an option if you want to jet between your French villa and premium New York living space. If you wanted to stay closer to home, the most expensive house sold in Ireland last year was Ballynatray House in Youghal, Cork, which hit the market for a whopping €29.25 million.
