The former Big Brother star and the Dancing With The Stars judge are set to welcome their first child this September.

So you have to evaluate what you're doing next. But she has to sign away. “She doesn't want to. So, so hard.” Because in Ireland we were left in no mans land.” “Aoife gave the go ahead for everything. Because we're on Instagram or in the public eye. And I just think it's ignorance." “We think both our names should go on the birth cert, because one of us won't have any rights to the child that we love and we want for at least two years." Explaining the logistics of their pregnancy, including getting access to medication and hormones needed, Brian went on: “Even when it came to getting hormones, we were shipping hormones in and getting hormones from Portugal and Arthur was carrying them in his bag. “And we didn't know when we went to our clinic, when we come back to Ireland, we weren't even sure if we could take Aoife to the doctor and explain our setup. “I think the serious point is that, you know, when it comes to surrogacy in Ireland, it's not legal or not illegal, you know,” Brian added.
