Operation Transformation’s Jean Tierney brings happy baby boy on The Late Late Show

Olivia Hayes

Just adorable!

Jean Tierney was forced to pull out of this year’s Operation Transformation – but for a very good reason; she found out she was pregnant.

The new mum had years of bad luck as she suffered from a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy and the loss of her third child, Sloane, just days after giving birth.

She described her new son, Brayden’s, arrival as her “fourth time lucky.”

Jean, Brayden and Jean’s fiancée Paddy appeared on The Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy last night.

The family spoke about how lucky there were to welcome their son.

“Coming out of the hospital exactly a month ago, I said we’ve been coming here for four years and finally four years later we walk out of there with a very precious little boy,” she said.

When Ryan asked why she decided to go on Operation Transformation this year, Jean said: “I found it very hard to figure out why all this was happening to us because I think we’re good people.

“Why we were dealt such hard cards, all we wanted was a little baby to love and after Sloane, I had a miscarriage and I was like ‘man, give us a break!’ and I had to admit the positivity dropped a little bit and I felt like I’d lost a bit of my soul.

“I needed to do something so I thought that by going on Operation Transformation I could get myself back but also there’s nothing wrong with talking about losing a baby.”

Jean and Paddy then announced that they are getting married on New Year’s Eve.
