RTE star Lottie Ryan has opened up about her sister’s Bonnie’s ‘special’ baby – but says she has not been able to meet her yet.
Her little sister Bonnie welcomed a baby girl, called Winnie, earlier this month. But with Bonnie and her husband John living in New York, the couple haven’t been able to see Bonnie’s family since the arrival of their little one.
Speaking on social media, Lottie – the eldest daughter of the late RTE star Gerry Ryan – admitted she was ‘feeling it’ not being able to see her sister and her new little niece.
Lottie said: ‘What a couple of weeks it has been. Baby Winnie is here. Winnie and Wolf (Lottie’s son). Guys, I’m an aunty to a little baby girl. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to meet her.
‘Its’ just been so much real life stuff going on…it’s very special. I’m feeling it because she is in New York. I just want to hold her and get that new baby smell. It’s so lovely.’
She jokingly told fans that her young son Wolf keeps calling Winnie his baby and she’s had to keep insisting to people that she was not pregnant over the last few weeks.
‘He keeps think she is he is. I keep having to explain to people I am not pregnant. I am not pregnant,’ she insisted.
Last Friday, Bonnie announced the heartwarming news in a post to her 157,000 Instagram followers.
‘Welcome to the World Winni. 18.5.2026,’ the caption read.
Bonnie previously shared the news of her pregnancy with the world in December, saying in a social media post: ‘Looks like we made it.
‘We’ve waited for this moment, and finally here we are and, halfway cooked.
‘So much love, gratitude and excitement for what’s to come. Sending love and luck to anyone on a TTC [Trying to Conceive] journey.’
