Brian McFadden expecting 'miracle' baby with fiancee Danielle Parkinson after tragic miscarriages

Brian McFadden has confirmed that he and his fiancée Danielle Parkinson are expecting a baby after suffering two tragic miscarriages.

The former Westlife star has confirmed he's going to be a dad again as his partner is pregnant.

Dublin Brian told OK! magazine the new addition to the family is due in May.

Brian, 40, said: "We’re 15 weeks along now," while Dani, 39, added: "We’re due on 14 May. But they said normally with your first baby it can be early."

In the interview, the couple revealed they had been trying for a baby for two years and had turned to IVF treatment.

They suffered two devastating miscarriages before finally passing the three-month mark with their "miracle" baby.

Danielle said: "It does [feel like a miracle] but I feel awful saying that, as I’ve had so many messages on Instagram.

"The IVF community is so lovely and I’ve heard real traumatic stories from people who have been trying for 10 years, people who have had eight-plus miscarriages, so I feel we got lucky on our third attempt."

Brian is already dad to two daughters, Molly, 19, and Lilly-Sue, 17, from his marriage to Kerry Katona.

This will be Danielle's first child.

Speaking to OK, the couple credited Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips with putting them in touch with a nutritionist who they claim helped them conceive.

The Irish pop star explained: "Mike and Zara put us in touch with Simone the nutritionist who got us prepared for this time.

"After we had the miscarriage, we sat with them and talked. This woman would put us on a certain diet, and Mike guaranteed it would work. He was completely rig."

Brian has been married twice, to Kerry Katona and to model Vogue Williams.

He split from Vogue in 2015 and he went on to strike up a romance with PE teacher Danielle.

They announced their engagement in December 2019.
