Mo Gilligan welcomes first child with fiancee Taia Tulher
It has been reported that comedian Mo Gilligan and his model fiancee Taia Tulher have welcomed their first child into the world.
Mo Gilligan has reportedly welcomed his first child with fiancee Taia Tulher.
The 37-year-old comedian and the 29-year-old model got engaged earlier this year - weeks after his ex-partner Selina Christoforou, 35, claimed he had a secret son named Rudi and called him a "deadbeat dad" - and it has been said that the couple welcomed their newborn a few weeks ago.
Keeping the baby's gender and name under wraps, a source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Mo and Taia have their baby and are in a bubble of bliss.
"She gave birth quite a few weeks ago now, and she has been getting back to normal life.
"They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family, but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now.
"Mo and Taia couldn’t be happier."
The pair - who met in 2023, and Mo proposed to Taia earlier this year while she was pregnant - were spotted at London Fashion Week together.
However, people were quick to notice that Taia no longer had her baby bump.
The new arrival is Mo's second child - he has a son named Rudi with model Selina.
Selina recently claimed in a TikTok video that The Masked Singer judge is a "deadbeat dad" and claimed he does not see his firstborn.
However, Mo seemingly hit back at her claims when he took to social media and posted a black-and-white clip of himself playing Connect 4 in a garden with Rudy, with the toddler’s face obscured by a heart emoji to protect his identity.
Mo accompanied the clip with Drake’s 2018 track Emotionless, which includes the lyrics: “The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call.”
Rudi was born in January 2024 following what sources have described as a short-lived friendship between the two.
The pair were not in a relationship at the time of the pregnancy, and Mo did not publicly announce the birth.
A source close to the situation told The Sun: “Mo met Selina after messaging her on social media, and they hung out casually for a few months.
“She found out she was pregnant in May 2023, and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful.
“But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren’t actually a couple.”
The insider continued: “She adores their son, and Mo sees him semi-regularly. Now he’s about to become a dad for a second time, and he’s over the moon.
“He has been with Taia for quite a long time now, and he feels ready to settle down.”
Before Selina, Mo had a four-year relationship with 30-year-old actress Sophie Wise, which ended in late 2022.
Following their split, he reportedly joined the celebrity dating app Raya.
