Shane Lowry and wife Wendy Honner are expecting their first child

Irish golfer Shane Lowry and his wife Wendy Honner are expecting their first child.

The 29-year-old and his darling wife Wendy, who works as a nurse, will welcomed their baby in February – much to Shane’s delight.

Speaking to broadcaster Denis Kirwan in Dubai, Shane said, “I don’t know if many people even know this yet, but I might as well tell you – Wendy is expecting a baby so we’re having our first kid at the end of February.”

“That’ll be nice. I’m going to play a few weeks in a row and then take some time off when we’re having the baby, then I’ll be back for Augusta,” he gushed, according to Independent.ie.

Shane and Wendy got hitched in a quiet ceremony at City Hall in New York back in April, after getting engaged in Dubai in December 2014.

The news comes after the golfer pulled out of the Olympic Games in Rio due to the threat of the Zika virus – as he was planning on starting a family.

“My wife and me are newly married, we plan on starting a family, so it was a decision I felt I had to make,” he said at the time.

 “If anything, if I’m lucky enough to have a family, if anything was ever to happen to any of my kids, and it was my fault completely, I would never live with myself.”
