The couple have been very private about their relationship of almost six years. The pair got engaged in the Maldives in February of this year.

Westlife's Kian Egan shared his excitement of the good news online saying "Such huge excitement here today. Not only is it Mark's birthday, but then for him and Cailean to share the news that they are having a baby.

"You gotta love this Westlife family. 10 Westlife babies now."

The group opened their tour this week in Belfast before they move on to the UK. They will finish up their tour in Dublin's Croke Park for two sold out shows on July 5th and 6th.
