Ryan Tubridy and Dr Clare Kambamettu are expecting their first child together early in the New Year. The news adds a new chapter to a relationship that moved from private life into marriage last December, and it extends the family line for Tubridy, who already has two adult daughters.
Clare Kambamettu at 42
Dr Clare Kambamettu is 42, and this will be her first child. For Tubridy, 53, it will be his third child, a family change that arrives after the couple kept the news close to family and close friends.
Last December’s marriage
The pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel in Clifden, Co Galway, last December, after announcing their engagement months earlier. Their relationship began after Clare appeared on Tubridy’s former RTÉ radio show, a detail that places this pregnancy inside a fairly short public timeline.
From February to New Year
Back in February, Tubridy described Clare as “an extraordinary person” in an interview with Miriam O’Callaghan. He also said, “She kinda changed everything actually, yeah,” and added, “She was desperately important when the craziness was going on.” Those remarks now read as the clearest public sign of how quickly the relationship settled into something more permanent.
The practical takeaway is simple: the couple has moved from engagement to marriage and now to a first child together within a span that has been visible but tightly managed. For Tubridy, the family picture now includes two adult daughters aged 27 and 21, plus a baby due early in the New Year.
