RTÉ’s Sinéad Kennedy plans temporary move to Belgium after she gives birth

Sinéad Kennedy is planning to pack her bags after giving birth.

The Today Show presenter has said she plans to give birth in Ireland and then head over to Belgium to be with her husband, Connor Kirwan.

Though her due date is fast approaching, the soon-to-be mum of two plans to fly over with their daughter Indie to spend time with her naval officer other half.

It may sound stressful to get on a plane with a newborn but Sinéad explained that it makes more sense for her family.

“It means that Conor is not flying over and back, we’re not exhausted and we can have proper family quality time together,” she said to RSVP.

It’s a challenge she has previously undertaken. When Indie was born she flew over to Brussels to start their lives as a family of three.

Yet despite wanting to reunite with Connor, she won’t be sacrificing her family Christmas in Cork and will wait until the New Year to make the trip.

In just a few weeks’ time, the 40-year-old will be stepping back from the Today Show to start her maternity leave.

As Sinéad prepares to welcome baby number two, the beloved broadcaster has admitted she’s a lot more relaxed this time around because when Indie was born the country was at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I’m probably more excited this time because I know what I’m getting at the end of it. I didn’t know what to expect when I had Indie, I didn’t know how I would be or how I would react,” she explained.

“Now that I know, it is the most wonderful thing in the world, and I feel so lucky to be here again.”
