Aoibhin Garrihy welcomes baby number three and shares first snap and name

Aoibhin Garrihy has announced she has given birth to her third child.

The former Fair City star welcomed another baby girl named Isla with her husband John Burke on Monday.

The actress turned wellness guru shared a sweet snap of their newborn daughter to announce the news today.

"Our littlest love, Isla Burke, who arrived on Monday making us the happiest, luckiest bunch in the whole world," the Co. Clare based star, 34, captioned the post.

This is the third child for Aoibhin and her hotelier husband. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, are already parents to two daughters Hanorah, three and Liobhan, who is almost two.

As both Aoibhin and John both come from families of three kids, the former The Fall actress said she feels three could be their magic number.

“I come from a family of three and John is one of three as well so yes, maybe it was all part of the plan,” she told RTE Guide.

“We feel so lucky and the two girls were a great distraction over the past 18 months or so. “They are a blessing and so much fun. So more madness up ahead in the next few weeks but it will be all good.”

Family, friends and famous faces flocked to send their congratulations, with Sile Seoige leading the well wishes saying: “You've been on my mind so much for the past few days. “She is divine. Hope you are feeling good and resting as much as you can.

“3 girls...history repeating in the loveliest way. Grá mór XXX”

Irish model Thalia Heffernan added: “Congratulations she’s just beautiful like her mum.”

Her sister Ailbhe also commented on the news underneath the post, saying: “We love you so much already baby Isla.”
