Former Eastenders actor and his wife welcome their first baby

Sean Maguire and his wife of two years Tanya have welcomed their first child thanks to their supportive Twitter followers.

The happy couple became parents to a baby boy Flynn Patrick on July 14. Flynn was born in Vancouver, Canada.

The L.A based couple have relocated in order for Sean to continue filming the series Once Upon a Time. He plays Robin Hood in the series which also boasts Irish actress Victoria Smurfit as a cast member.

She’s responsible for bringing the characters of Cruella De Ville. Victoria was quick to pass on her message of congratulations to the happy family on social media.

Speaking with E! News the pair said: "We are truly blessed to have such a healthy and beautiful baby boy." They also added that both mom and baby are doing great.

Sean was scheduled to make an appearance with his co-stars at San Diego’s Comic Con not too long ago but took to Twitter to explain his hasty departure.

Sean and Tanya originally married in California in 2012 but the couple had a second ceremony in Ireland in 2014 surrounded by more friends, family and a few celebrities.

Ant and Dec were just two of the famous faces spotted at the ceremony in Co. Kerry. The couple chose the Sneem Hotel for their reception and Chloe Agnew (Twink’s daughter) performed at the ceremony.

Lucky little Flynn is already set to be rubbing shoulders with the stars. Sean’s OUAT co-stars Ginniger Goodwin and Josh Dallas, who play Snow White and Prince Charming, of course, welcome their first child last May. Celebrity baby BFFS! So cute.

Congratulations to the new parents!
