Rob Delaney has revealed that his wife gave birth to their fourth son back in August, just a few months after their two-year-old son Henry passed away due to a brain tumour.
Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine, the Catastrophe star told how his wife became pregnant again before Henry’s death in January, and he was the first person they told.
Explaining their decision to have another baby, Rob said: “We likely would’ve had a fourth anyway. But I mean, there’s mixed feelings.”
“It’s sort of like they touch each other a little bit, but they almost exist in separate lanes. Having another child in no way, shape or form eases the grief of Henry dying.”
“But also having Henry dying doesn’t make our new son any less magical. I want to gobble him up and he deserves our full attention and love, and he grew in the same womb as Henry,” he said.
Following the trauma of losing his son, the actor has admitted that he’s terrified of anyone else in his family getting sick.
“It’s like PTSD. If anyone vomits, I think, ‘Oh, that must be a brain tumour,’ and I have to calm down,” he confessed.
The news comes after Rob recently penned a heartbreaking message about spending his first Christmas without Henry on Twitter.
