Westlife Prepared Mark Feehily For Fatherhood

Mark Feehily's time in Westlife prepared him for his new role as a father.

The singer and his fiancé Cailean O'Neill became proud parents for the first time to a baby girl named Layla last month.

After welcoming the tot via surrogate, Mark has admitted that his time in Westlife has prepared him well for the sleepless nights of having a baby.

He told the Mirror Online: "Honestly it feels amazing, everything that everyone says you know in many ways is true in terms of your whole world changes the minute the baby's born.

"There were sleepless nights before for other reasons. Being in Westlife has helped me 100% in terms of getting up at silly hours of the morning to do things when you'd rather be sleeping. It's just changing to feed the baby instead of getting up at 3 o'clock to do crazy time breakfast TV.

"So that definitely helped because I think a lot of people get to 30 and have a kid and they think, 'Jesus, I've never been up this early and had to do that before', whereas I'm kind of used to it in a way. It doesn't make it easy by any means but it's not the first time I've done it, getting up at crazy hours and stuff."

The 39 year-old believes his whole perspective on life has changed since he became a father, with his thoughts now revolving around his daughter.

"I used to maybe overthink and question everything, so it's nice to actually have a break from that," he explained.

"All of your focus is on another little person and a tiny little smile from her at the moment is like winning the lottery or something, it's the best feeling in the world, so to get so much joy out of a tiny thing, it just puts everything into perspective, you know. I'm not thinking about where I'm going on holiday next or what I'm going to do, I'm just thinking about what time I'm going to get home to give her a little cuddle. It's changed the way I think. I'm still the same person, but the focus is on somebody else now."
