Amy Huberman has revealed why she decided to announce her pregnancy on social media.
The actress is expecting her third child with husband Brian O’Driscoll, and is due to give birth next year.
The couple are already parents to Sadie, 7, and Billy, 5 – but in the past, they chose not to announce Amy’s previous pregnancies.
Explaining why she decided to announce this pregnancy, Amy told the RTÉ Guide: “It might seem strange to make that kind of announcement on social media, but I will be doing press over the next few weeks for Finding Joy, hopefully including live TV interviews, and I thought it would be really strange if I haven’t said anything at all and then suddenly appeared with a giant conspicuous bump!”
Amy also admitted her kids weren’t great at keeping the news a secret.
She said: “I had been purposely trying to hide it for months, because I’m well over halfway, but once I told the kids, they were telling everyone they met, so it was starting to get out there.”
Amy announced her pregnancy last month, by sharing a photo of a literal bun in an oven.
