EX-RTE DWTS pro Ryan McShane has welcomed his first child with his fiancée.
The Northern Irish star popped the question to his girlfriend Sylwia Matuszewska, who he has been dating since 2023, last November 2024.
Sylwia gave birth to their son, who they called Saul Maddix, earlier this week on Tuesday, January 28.
Ryan took to Instagram this evening to reveal the exciting news with his fans.
The 40-year-old posted a heart-melting photo of their bundle of joy looking up at the camera while laying in his crib wearing a grey babygrow and white hat and mittens.
The celebrity choreographer also shared a snap of himself with Sylwia holding Saul in her arms in the hospital bed.
Ryan gushed over his little one in the caption of his post saying: “The 28th January 2025 at 10:50am will forever be engraved into my heart as the day our son was born.
“I have been completely and helplessly humbled by this whole experience and by the strength, courage and unconditional love and empathy my beautiful fiancee has shown throughout our pregnancy.
“35 hours of labour and she made everyone laugh the whole way through it.
“To the midwife, ‘Where do you get your morphine from… Temu?’.
“You are my hero and I will be forever eternally grateful for this most wonderful gift, ‘our son’ I am in awe of everything that you are.
“Ryan, Sylwia & Saul.”
The couple’s friends and fans all loved the sweet pictures and raced to the comment section with their best wishes.
Virgin Media star Lucy Kennedy wrote: “Awe look at him!!!!! Congratulations.”
DWTS pro Kylee Vincent said: “Aaaaw Congrats you two. So happy for you! Enjoy every minute.”
Sinead commented: “OMG he is adorable, enjoy every minute of the love bubble with your angel. Beautiful name, congrats to you both.”
Sarah added: “Congratulations mama. What a beautiful little man with a beautiful name. Hope mum and baby are well.”
BAD ROMANCE
Ryan previously dated Irish model Thalia Heffernan but revealed that they called time on their romance back in January 2023.
Dublin beauty Thalia started dating Ryan during the first series of Dancing With The Stars in 2017.
The couple set up home in Ireland in August 2019 with their two beloved dogs – lurchers Leonard and Charlie.
Thalia then made the move to the US to follow new career opportunities in September 2022, with the couple going long distance.
But Ryan confirmed their split after Thalia discussed life in New York and their relationship in a July 2023 interview.
