The couple shared a black and white photo of them together, showing Cooper’s baby bump, captioned “Mom and Dad”.

They announced the news of their first child less than a year after getting married at the Pine Cliffs Resort in Portugal’s Algarve on June 5.

Weeks before the celebrations in Portugal, they held a secret church wedding in Ireland, with just themselves, their dog and two witnesses in attendance.

They announced their engagement in March 2022 after four years together when Murray proposed to Cooper during a holiday to Dubai.

Conor previously opened up about becoming a dad for the first time.

“Joanna is getting a bit bigger and it is becoming a little bit more real and you are feeling the kicks and all that,” he told RSVP Live.

“We were buggy shopping yesterday, so it is getting real. It will be the first grandchild on our side of the family and my sister is due the day after us as well, so my mam is up the walls for a good reason.”

Thankfully, Joanna’s pregnancy has been a breeze so far.

“She has been really lucky so far. Not much sickness, just a bit tired. That is it. That is a good complaint,” the 35-year-old said.
