Andrew Porter, an Irish rugby player, shares the joy of becoming a father as he welcomes his son with partner Elaine, describing the birth as a ‘crazy’ and deeply meaningful experience. Their relationship blossomed through modern connections like Instagram, leading to a shared passion for rugby. Porter acknowledges the sacrifices Elaine has made, including support during his rugby career, and reflects on the challenges of parenthood after her two miscarriages last year. As they navigate this new chapter, he emphasizes the bond and appreciation between them during this journey.
Elaine was someone I had an instant connection with. It's mad looking back how things have turned out. Back then, could you have said this is where we would be now?
I know the sacrifices she makes and now with the new arrival... it's tough to not feel guilty at times. It's nearly like everyone else's schedule revolves around mine.
Rugby players put themselves through all sorts, but I don't think we put ourselves through anything close to that. Elaine's an absolute champion after what she went through.
In the movies it looks so easy. They don't even come close to hitting the nail on the head.
