The happy couple got to bring their bundle of joy home from the hospital today.

Eric took to Instagram to share adorable photos of himself and Niamh walking out of the maternity ward of the hospital with their son.

Their newborn looked peaceful as he slept in his beige car seat wearing a white babygrow with foxes on it and a matching hat.

Eric also revealed his son’s first name, Rian, and middle name Oisin – which they named after Eric’s 18-year-old nephew.

Oisin, who has cerebral palsy, is a huge part of Eric’s life and often appears on his social media content.

The TikToker thanked his fans for their support in the caption of his post saying: “Rían Oisin Roberts is coming home….

“Thank you for all the amazing messages this week it’s been overwhelming but incredible!

“Thank you again to the amazing staff in Letterkenny University Hospital. 

“I’ll be putting the phone away for a few days now to enjoy our bubble with Niamh and Rían.”

Eric’s friends and fans were all left gushing over the dedicated middle name and rushed to the comment section with compliments.

Rachael said: “Ahhhhh the Oisin in the name, huge huge congratulations again guys!!”

Nicola wrote: “Aw love his name! Now the fun starts.”

Sarah commented: “Love that you put Oisin in the middle, the most perfect name.”

Sue added: “Omg Oisín in the name, he’ll be over the moon.”
