New mum Dawn O’Porter has said her new son is “off the scale”.
The wife of Irish actor Chris O’Dowd has spoken for the first time about becoming a mother, and said their son Art is the best thing that’s happened to them.
“I have to say, I love it. Art’s given me a really lovely start,” she said.
“It’s hard work and bloody relentless, but he’s a really nice baby. I feel very lucky to have a healthy child.

“I was very emotionally ready to be a mum, so by the time he flopped out – well, didn’t quite flop out – I was
raring to go. He’s very cute,” she told Glamour magazine.
Dawn 36, added that she could never have expected that intensity of love she would feel for her first child.
“People with kids tell you about it, but it’s impossible to grasp before you experience it yourself. Nothing compares.

“I am mortified by the fact I used to tell people I understood what they meant because of how much I love my cat.
“I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do love my cat, but the way I love Art is off the scale. It’s a full body emotion, uncontrollable and completely instinctual.”
