Former Alliance mayor of belfast Nuala McAllister is celebrating after giving birth to a baby boy.
Ms McAllister, who served as lord mayor for a one-year term until June 2018, gave birth to her second child on Friday.
She said she and her partner Sam Nelson were "totally in love" with their new son whom they have named Art. The couple already have a little boy called Finn.
Baby Art arrived yesterday morning. Bigger & louder than his brother, he's just absolutely perfect. Feeling quite good and @samnel84 & I totally in love with the new addition. Looking forward to settling at home with all my boys . pic.twitter.com/dyjb95Ls1O
