Mrs. Brown’s Boys star Gary Hollywood and his wife, Cherlyanne, are expecting their second child after suffering a miscarriage in 2023. The Scottish actor, known for his role as Dino Doyle, revealed in an interview with OK! Magazine that they are expecting another baby, with Cherlyanne currently 16 weeks pregnant. The couple, who got married five years ago and reside in Glasgow, will find out the gender of their baby in a few weeks and choose names shortly after. This pregnancy comes four years after they welcomed their first child, Ollie, who is now four years old. Ollie is excited to become a big brother, although he is hoping for a sister.
Gary Hollywood is also a father to Jack, Zach, and Charlie from previous relationships. In 2023, the couple faced the heartbreaking news of a miscarriage during their 12-week scan. Despite the loss, Gary remains positive and refers to the new baby as their ‘rainbow’. Cherlyanne had initially expressed reluctance to go through another pregnancy after their loss but has since embraced the journey with joy. She admits to feeling a mix of emotions this time around, as the fear of something going wrong lingers. Gary has had challenging experiences with relationships, having split from his ex-wife, Sharon Mudre, in 2017 after 14 years of marriage. He also has a son, Zachary, from a prior relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Anne Haney.
The news of their second child comes just four years after Cherlyanne and Gary welcomed their first child, Ollie. Their journey towards expanding their family faced a setback in 2023 with the miscarriage. At that time, Gary expressed concerns about the unequal pay he received compared to his co-stars for the spin-off show All Round To Mrs Brown’s. He claimed that he was removed from a Christmas special after raising the issue and felt disregarded. Gary emphasized that he refused to tolerate being treated unfairly and would not accept such treatment any longer. Despite the professional difficulties he faced, Gary found happiness in his personal life with his wife, Cherlyanne, whom he married two years ago.
The couple is eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new baby and have been navigating the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy after experiencing a miscarriage. For Cherlyanne, this pregnancy marks her second child, while Gary adds to his fatherhood journey with another little one on the way. They look forward to discovering the gender of their child and selecting a name as they prepare to welcome a new member into their family. Gary, known for his role in Mrs. Brown’s Boys, has had a successful career in acting but faced challenges with regard to fair treatment in the industry. Despite the setbacks, he remains committed to his family and looks forward to embracing the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood once again.
