Donal Skehan has shared an adorable photo of his newborn son – and announced the little one’s name.

The chef took to social media last weekend to reveal he and Sofie had welcomed their second child together – another baby boy – after a “whirlwind” 36 hours.

And in the early hours of Friday morning, the 33-year-old shared the another photo of the newborn – whom he says he and Sofie have been “smitten” with sine he arrived last week.

He also announced their baby boy’s name: Oliver Kai Skehan.

“Hello baby Oliver! This time last week little Ollie arrived into our world and we’ve been smitten ever since,” he began the caption.

“Taking time to soak it all in and enjoying every minute! Settling in to life as parents of two has had plenty of ups and downs but wrapping up week one with a smile,” he continued. “Oliver Kai Skehan, I hope you’re ready for the fun! Thanks for all the sweet messages.”

Announcing Oliver’s arrival last weekend, Donal posted an adorable photo of Sofie and their newborn baby boy on Instagram and Twitter.

“Welcome to the world little guy,” the caption to the post began. “What a whirlwind the last 36 hours have been- @SofieSkehan and baby boy doing great, give or take a little lost sleep! He’s a bouncing little bruiser weighing at 9lbs and looks just like his big brother.”

He went on to thank all the “brilliant nurses and our doctor” for dropping their Thanksgiving plans to “bring this little dude into our lives.”

“All exhausted here but grateful to be back home safe and sound with our new little addition,” he ended the caption.

Fans rushed to congratulate the pair on their happy news.

The couple wed in 2015. They welcomed their first child, Noah Ziggy, in 2017.
