‘Over the moon!’: TV3 presenter confirms happy pregnancy news
Huge congrats are in order for TV3's Karen Koster this evening, as she has just confirmed she is expecting her second child.
The Xposé presenter already has a ten-month-old son with her husband John McGuire.
Having waited until she was five months along to make news of her second pregnancy public, Karen said she was delighted to finally share it.
"I’m absolutely over the moon," the 35-year-old told The Irish Mirror.
"I feel like I’ve been keeping a secret. It is such a relief to finally tell people and get my belly out."
Karen's new arrival will be born next March – a little over a year after she welcomed her son Finn.
Although she feels "blessed" to be expecting again, Karen admitted she has some new worries this time around.
"I know now that I can survive the night feeds and all the labour and that gory stuff.
"But now my worries are more like, 'How am I going to go to the bathroom when I have a baby who wants his bottle and I’ve Finn wobbling around?'"
Of course, there is one perk of having two under two – Karen says she'll have an excuse to spend less time in the gym.
"I just have to lose the first round of baby fat, I can just put on more baby fat so it saves me a whole year in the gym," she joked.
Karen and her businessman husband John married in the summer of 2013 in a gorgeous ceremony in Taormina, Italy.
In a recent interview the expectant mum said married life was a hugely positive step forward for herself and her husband of two years.
"It’s funny, I didn’t think life after getting married would be that different, but the relationship actually is — we’re more of a unit now," she told the Irish Independent.
