Dublin GAA captain James McCarthy confirmed he is expecting his first child next year.

The 33-year-old stepped out on the carpet of the GAA All-Star Awards last night. James and his wife Clodagh O'Mahony told EVOKE they were expecting their first bundle of joy in 2024.

Clodagh, who works as a digital marketing manager, confirmed she is currently six months pregnant. The couple have decided to keep the sex of the baby a secret until the birth.

Clodagh told EVOKE: "We are eight years together and now we have a baby coming."

When asked whether their future child would also take up the GAA mantle, James teased "We will try."

The couple wed in a stunning ceremony in Luttrelstown Castle just before Christmas last year. The duo even welcomed their dog as a guest at the winter wedding.
