Ryan Andrews Opens Up About Becoming a Dad and the Challenges of Adjusting to Fatherhood.
Fair City star Ryan Andrews has admitted he was 'terrified' when his son Rowen was born back in September. The actor has nieces and nephews, but had never held a newborn baby until his give of two years Michaela O'Neill gave birth in Holles Street Hospital. He joked that he still feels like he is 15 and shouldn’t be a father. The midwives in Holles Street Hospital were incredible. They put Rowen in my arms when they were looking after Michaela and I didn't move.
I was so still, just staring at him for about ten minutes. I didn't know how to get to the next stage, like lifting him or picking him up. Michaela is saying here that I'm still like that. Ryan and Michaela are a big support to each other as first time parents. And they are also careful to make time for each other and their relationship as well. The former Dancing with the Stars finalist told VIP Magazine: Both of us are for Rowen but what's most important is that we're both there for each other. I may be working all day, but she's been with him so I come home in-between scenes and give her a coffee, make sure the house is clean and ensure everything is there that they might need. I want to support her as best I can. We're still giving time to each other, doing all the same things that we did before he arrived so nothing in our relationship has changed in that sense. If anything I would say it's just been enhanced. It is about adjusting from your old life to this new one. There's definitely huge changes, but we are very lucky with Rowan; he is so happy and so placid. He's made this change a whole lot easier and we are very grateful for that. Ryan's favourite part of being a new dad is seeing Michaela with Rowen
