Joanna Cooper showed off her baby bump while on holiday with her husband Conor Murray.
Munster rugby star Murray took to social media this week to share some sun-soaked snaps of his wonderful summer holiday with Joanna.
The happy couple were joined on holiday by ex-Ireland and Leinster star Johnny Sexton who retired from rugby after last year's World Cup quarter-final defeat to the All-Blacks.

Murray is still going strong at 35 and regularly features from the bench for Andy Farrell's Ireland and remains a key member of the team. At club level, Murray is preparing for his 16th season at Munster.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror last month, Murray spoke about his early days dating Joanna: "She found it a bit strange at the start when she moved back from London. She didn’t really understand how big rugby was in Ireland. It took a bit of getting used to but I think most of the partners get it in this day and age and it is part and parcel.
"She’s online as well, she’s got a social media following so we put ourselves in that position as well so we just have to, whether you like it or not, that’s the way it is."
The couple are set to welcome their first child together in November and are busy looking for a new home.
"Million dollar question," Conor laughed.
"We’re in Limerick at the moment but she’s from Derry. Somewhere in the middle, maybe.
"But Dublin could be the landing spot. I was looking at house prices and they’re a bit saucy."

Conor previously told us of his excitement about becoming a dad.
"She’s getting a bit bigger, and it’s been a little bit more real and feeling the kicks and all that. We were buggy shopping... it’s getting real.
"It’ll be the first grandchild on our side of the family and my sister is due literally the day after us as well, so my mam is up the walls in a good way."
He said Joanna has been "lucky so far" with her pregnancy.
"Yeah, she’s been really lucky so far. Not much sickness, just a bit tired. That’s it. That’s a good complaint. Touch wood, everything is going so smoothly so far."
