In a stunning and joyous revelation, celebrated British comedian and television presenter Mo Gilligan has announced not one, but two life-changing pieces of news. The Channel 4 star is engaged to his long-term girlfriend, Taia Tulher, and the couple have secretly welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
The 35-year-old funnyman, best known for hosting The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, shared his immense happiness with fans in a heartfelt Instagram post on Monday. The announcement sent waves of surprise and congratulatory messages across social media.
A Picture of Happiness
The comedian posted a series of intimate black-and-white photographs that told a beautiful story. One image captured the romantic moment he proposed to Taia on a picturesque bridge, with the London skyline providing a dramatic backdrop. Another tender photo showed the couple holding their newborn son's hand, a tiny gold ring delicately placed on the baby's finger.
Gilligan's caption overflowed with love and excitement, directly addressing his new fiancée: "My Taia, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the most incredible mother to our son. He is so blessed to have you."
From Secret to Celebration
The news of the child came as a complete surprise to the public, as the couple had managed to keep the entire pregnancy and birth out of the spotlight. This level of privacy is a notable feat for a public figure of Gilligan's stature, demonstrating their desire to protect their family life.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with well-wishes. Comedian and friend Judi Love wrote "Congratulations to you both," while presenter AJ Odudu simply stated, "This is beautiful."
Building a Future Together
This double announcement marks a significant new chapter for Gilligan, whose career has skyrocketed in recent years. From his beginnings as a viral social media sensation to becoming one of the UK's most beloved primetime hosts, he is now embarking on his most important role yet: father and husband.
The couple, who have been together for several years, have often kept their relationship away from the glare of the media, making this public sharing of their joy all the more special for their supporters.
