Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian have revealed that they are expecting their first child together.
The TV stars made the announcement in an Instagram reel that shows Dowling breaking the happy news to Gourounlian, who screams with joy, before showing footage of the baby's ultrasound scan.
In the caption accompanying the video, Dowling wrote that it "completely fills our hearts" to reveal the news that their "beautiful bundle of joy" is due later in the year.
He continued: "We actually never thought this day would be a reality for us. We fully realize & understand how lucky & blessed we are for this to be happening.
"For a lot of us out there & especially people from our community we have to fight harder & push harder for what others consider to be something that can be achieved easily.
"Myself & Arthur have been keeping the BIGGEST secret the past few months but it's put the BIGGEST SMILES in our HEARTS & on our FACES.
"We can’t wait to meet you, hug you & LOVE YOU for the rest of our lives. Baby Dowling Gourounlian is on the way people."
Dancing with the Stars judge Gourounlian also posted the video to his Instagram stories and told his followers: "It's happening. Let's do this!"
The couple, who wed in 2015, discussed their plans to start a family on The Late Late Show in February.
Dowling told host Ryan Tubridy: "We are on the baby train. It's left the station. We thought at this point we would have been blessed already.
"We're on the surrogacy journey, I'm sure people on the show have spoken to you about it before.
"There's no regulations, laws regarding this but it doesn't just affect people like us, I think it affects everyone in Ireland.
"It's about children, parents and families and I think people shouldn't be telling people when they can't have kids or how they do it.
"I'd like to think this year that we will be blessed but how do you know."
