The happy couple have named their baby girl Lilly.

It’s the couple’s first child together, the childhood sweethearts got married in a beautiful ceremony in Donegal last June.

Coleman has received hundreds of well wishes from close family and friends on social media outlets on Facebook and Twitter.

His brother Stephen expressed his delight and posted on his Facebook timeline that he was over the moon at becoming an uncle.

The Bay View Hotel and Leisure Centre, in Killybegs attached a poster (above) via their own Facebook timeline which said, “Congratulations Seamus and Rachel on their birth of your beautiful baby girl Lilly, from all of us at the Bay View Hotel.
