Bláthnaid's big break - star reveals plans for six month break when tot 2 arrives
Radio presenter Bláthnaid Treacy has revealed that she's planning to take a six-month maternity break from the airwaves when her second child is born. The soon-to-be mother-of-two only took a two-month break from work after giving birth to daughter Nancy in 2023. However, the broadcaster said she will take a significantly longer break from work to spend more time with her husband, Charlie Moon, and their growing family, as they welcome their latest addition.

I'm going to take the full six months this time; I won't take the nine months though.' The presenter, from Bray, Co. Wicklow, added: 'I was talking to Lottie Ryan about going back to work after your first kid, it can be a thing where you put a lot of pressure on yourself.' Dancing with the Stars host Jennifer Zamperelli followed a similar pattern, taking a short maternity leave with her oldest child, Florence. But Treacy said she is looking forward to spending more time with her new baby. Pic: Instagram/ Blathnaid Treacy 'This time I'm like, 'No babe, take all the time, and enjoy the six months. Work will always be there.' The presenter said she's 'so excited' to welcome her new baby, who is due in November, just in time for Christmas. 'I just can't wait to hibernate over the winter and just have a little snuggly time, and I think I'm going to appreciate that time a little bit more now,' she said. While balancing a growing family with increasing work commitments will be a tough act, the broadcaster said she is definitely up for the challenge. 'I actually am really excited about it,' Bláthnaid said, though she joked those may be her 'famous last words'. She added: 'It'll be full on, but plenty of people have done the same thing. I kind of feel I've done it once, and I sort of know what I'm doing now.' The only problem the Treacy-Moon family has yet to overcome is agreeing on a name for the new baby. 'We are absolutely stumped. We cannot think of a name, it's so weird,' Bláthnaid admitted.
