Brian McFadden soaks up sun on Portugal holiday with eldest daughter Molly and new baby

Brian McFadden shared a couple of adorable pictures of his eldest and youngest daughters, while on holiday in Portugal.

The former Westlife singer has recently become a father again for the third time after fiancee Danielle Parkinson gave birth to their baby girl, named Ruby Jean, in May.

Brian's two other daughters are Molly, 18 and Lilly-Sue, 16 from his marriage to former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. They divorced in 2006.

The 41-year-old dad posted a photo of Molly cuddling her baby half-sister, captioning the image "2 of my 3 girls. Ruby has finally met both of her sisters."

Molly, who wears a nose piercing, looked tenderly at the newborn.

In the second image, proud dad Brian is sitting outside in the Portuguese sunshine with Molly. He captioned the picture, "Summer time and the weather is fine."

The family is in Quinta do Lago, an exclusive resort in the VIP area of the Algarve.

The location is a favourite of celebrities including Ant and Dec and Phillip Schofield ,who recently lost millions of pounds after putting down payments on lavish properties before the building company went bust.

Brian became engaged to Danielle, who is a PE teacher, after three years in December 2019.

Their marriage will be his third, as he was also wed to Irish model and now Mrs Spencer Matthews, Vogue Williams for three years.

Danielle underwent successful IVF treatment to welcome daughter Ruby with Brian after previously suffering two devastating miscarriages.
The new mum revealed that their baby's name only occurred to them when she was about to give birth.
Danielle said: “We went round the houses with a name. We had a long list and then the day before I went into labour we were looking through a baby book and I just said ‘Ruby’, and we both went, ‘Yes!’

“We both really liked it and thought it would transcend from a baby to an elderly lady."

Ruby's middle name, Jean, also holds significance to the couple. Danielle added "Jean has quite a lot of meaning to us, as both my grandparents were Jean and a few of Brian’s family.”

Brian agreed, “My grandad was Jean and my uncle, who died 10 years ago, so we have four family members who have all passed who were called Jean.”
