Ryan Tubridy is set to do the baby years all over again as his wife Clare is pregnant, but what do we know about his two older kids, Ella and Julia?

The former Late Late Show host has previously revealed he is so close with his two girls, whom he shares with his ex-wife Anne Marie Power, that they regularly go on nights out together.

So, what do we know about the presenter’s glam adult daughters as they are set to become big sisters to the new arrival?

Ella

Ella is Ryan and Anne Marie’s oldest child. The 27-year-old was born in January 1999.

She has long been the apple of her mum and dad’s eye. When her parents got engaged, their newspaper notice in The Irish Times famously read: ‘Ella Tubridy is delighted to announce the engagement of her parents Ryan and Anne Marie.’

The Dublin lady graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a first-class honours degree in Sociology and Social Policy, before starting a successful communications career.

Ella has interned at the United Nations in New York and advisory firms in London and Dublin before she joined the payments company Stripe in Dublin in 2026.

Julia

Ryan and Anne Marie welcomed Julia in 2005.

While their famous father explained that his daughters didn’t have any interest in the spotlight growing up, Julia did make brief cameo appearances on The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 in her youth, particularly around Christmas or school holidays

In December 2025, she and her sister danced their father down the aisle at his wedding at Abbey Glen Castle Hotel.

Spending time with dad

Ryan has previously revealed that he shares a strong bond with his girls, even going on nights out on the town with them.

The presenter gushed over the ‘joy’ of having adult daughters, telling Diana Bunici Garrigan on her podcast, The Delusional Optimist: ‘They come over to the house and with a bag of cans, and we have nights out, and I said, please bring your friends. I don’t invite any adults.’

‘It’s not a heebie-jeebiby night for everyone. I say just bring your pals and your pals, and we have just a great,’ Ryan told Diana. ‘And I hope they’re not just indulging me, but they’re the nicest.’

The host pointed out that Ryan’s face lit up when talking about his kids, with him explaining: ‘That’s because they are my be-all and end-all.’

‘My girls are now women. They are really amazing, strong, smart women,’ the proud dad said. It is clear Ella and Julia will make great big sisters when the new baby arrives!
