Mrs Brown’s Boys star Gary Hollywood reveals he and wife Cheyenne have welcomed ‘rainbow baby’ after she suffered heartbreaking miscarriage

Mrs Brown’s Boys star Gary Hollywood has confirmed he and wife Cheyanne have welcomed their second child together.

The Scottish actor, 45, who played Dino on the BBC sitcom, are overjoyed with the birth of son Carter John, four years after they welcomed his older brother Ollie.

Cheyanne sadly suffered a miscarriage last year, discovering the news at the 12-week scan. Gary is now referring to Carter as their ‘rainbow’ baby.

Speaking about his arrival, Gary told OK!: ‘I cried at all my children’s births and because this was a rainbow baby, it made it even more special.’

This is Gary’s second child with Cheyenne and his fifth overall as he is also father to Jack, Zach and Charlie from previous relationships.

Asked about becoming a father again in his forties, Gary said: ‘I think I enjoy it more now. In my twenties, I was chasing my career and money and not really cherishing the moment. 

‘I missed out on a lot. Now, with Carter and Ollie being born and leaving Mrs Brown’s Boys, I get to enjoy every minute and cherish those moments.’

Cheyenne also revealed she and Gary thought they wouldn’t try for another child after her miscarriage and when she did become pregnant again, they didn’t let themsleves get too excited. 

The pair were ‘apprehensive’ during the early weeks of Carter’s pregnancy and one evening while at dinner, Cheyenne broke down in tears – and so did Gary.    

Because of their nerves, the couple didn’t tell any of their friends and family Cheyenne was pregnant for a third time until after her 12-week scan.

It was a quick labour for Cheyenne, who told how her water broke at 7:40pm and the labour lasted twenty minutes in total. 

Gary split from his ex-wife, Sharon Mudre, in 2017 after 14 years of marriage. They share two sons, Jack, 22, and Charlie, 20.

He also has a son, Zachary, 20, from a prior relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Anne Haney.
