WESTLIFE star Nicky Byrne yesterday reflected on becoming a dad to
twins, and joked: "I just hope I don't lose my snooker room."
Pop idol Nicky and his wife, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern's eldest daughter,
Georgina, are getting set to revamp their exclusive home in Malahide, Dublin, for the arrival of twins, due next June.
The excited couple told the Sunday World that they intend to wait
until the births to find out the sex of their first born children.
"We both decided that we are going to leave that to the day. It's
going to be such a surprise," Nicky revealed in an exclusive interview.
When they were initially told that Georgina was pregnant they had
asked her best-selling author sister, Cecelia, and Nicky's younger
brother, Adam, to be godparents.
"Now we have to think about about another set of godparents and more
names, which is great," he says.
The clean-cut entertainer is bubbling with excitement at the latest
news, which he revealed earlier this week.
"We've known for a few weeks and it's been hard not to let it out. We
just wanted to take it all in ourselves before we said anything,"
Nicky revealed.
"We found out when Georgina went in for the first scan. Some of our
friends had told us what to expect, but nothing prepares you; when
you're in there and the doctor shows you Baby Byrne and Baby Byrne
Two, and the healthy hearts beating.
"It brings a tear to your eye. Even now I'm getting emotional thinking
about it.
"It's just the most fantastic thing that could have happened to us.
"I've had the most amazing year in Westlife and this just tops it
completely. This is just every Christmas come at once for us."
It's been a long-held ambition of Nicky that his children would see
him perform during the heydey of his pop career with Westlife.
"That's the one thing I've wanted all along," he reveals. "No matter
how young they were, once they saw it I was going to be happy.
"There's never a guarantee how long you'll last in the music business
but Westlife is flying at the moment. We are now negotiating a new
contract with our record label that could give us another five or six
years.
"That at least guarantees that they'll see me at some point.
"They might be too young to remember but at least they'll have seen it.
"I might be able to get an opportunity to bring them on stage with me
in the summer of 2008, if we are lucky enough to be touring then.
"That's what Brian did with his kids when he was in the group and
Shane did it with Nicole's birthday at one of the gigs in England.
Just things like that I'm really looking forward to."
Amid the joy of being pregnant, Nicky reveals that Georgina has been
coping with extreme nausea and sickness.
"For the first four to six weeks literally every day was bad," he
says. "She's getting a lot better now. She's having days where she's
more free from it.
"Georgina is big into physical fitness and I'm trying to keep her off
the treadmill. But being a fitness instructor, she knows herself what
to do.
"You get a lot of people coming to you in that business and she knows
first hand what she should or should not be doing."
