Pics: Holly Sweeney shows off her newborn baby for this first time

Rory McIlroy’s former childhood sweetheart Holly Sweeney has shown off her newborn son for the first time.

The Belfast beauty, 24, welcomed her first child earlier this month with American boyfriend Jeff Mason.

And the 24-year-old has now shared the first picture of newborn Max – as she was watching the Ryder Cup yesterday.

Gorgeous Holly – has been dating the Belfast Giants star for two years now – said: “Just dressed Max in Team Europe colours while his daddy’s out.”

She added that it will “split the household” but isn’t “sorry” after dressing Max in the colours for Team Europe, who her ex Rory was playing for.

Previously Holly – who has yet to comment on becoming a mother – admitted that she’s already trying to git back into her skinny jeans.

Back in August Holly enjoyed a special baby shower where she revealed she was expecting a boy.

This is Holly’s first public relationship since splitting with Rory McIlroy in 2011.

Rory quickly moved on with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, before breaking up with her this year, days after sending out the invites to their wedding.

He has since been linked to Dublin model Nadia Forde and Belfast beauty Sasha Gale.
