John McAreavey has confirmed he is set to welcome his third child with wife, Tara.

The couple appear to have enjoyed a sun-soaked baby moon abroad in Ibiza in Spain ahead of welcoming their third arrival.

John and Tara are already busy parents to two children, James, 6 and two-year-old daughter, Lily. John made the announcement as he posted a series of pictures on his social media with Tara on Sunday.

Captioning the pictures, including one with Tara showing her growing bump in a green dress, John wrote: ‘Lovely few days with @tara_mcareavey 🏖️🏃🍻🍒❤️’

It has been a busy few months for the family-of-four. In April, John threw a big party for Tara to celebrate her 40th birthday.

John tragically lost his first wife Michaela Harte in 2011 after she was murdered on their honeymoon in Mauritius. Michaela, a daughter of Gaelic football boss Mickey Harte, was only 27 at the time of her death.

Speaking recently to Pat Kenny, about becoming a first-time dad John said in 2020: ‘I was able to find Tara and we’ve had a beautiful relationship and now we’re about to have an addition to our family and it’s just something that I feel so grateful for and I’m just so excited by that.’

John and Tara met in 2012 at an event in memory of his late wife Michaela.
