Blooming Aoife Dowling makes social media return weeks before her surrogacy journey ends

Aoife Dowling has returned to social media with just weeks to go before her second surrogacy journey comes to an end.

She showed off her blossoming baby bump at Brian and Arthur's all-white baby shower at the weekend after she previously chose to step back from social media and keep a low profile during the second pregnancy to avoid further negative comments.

Brian shared a picture of Aoife, dressed in a simple white dress at the white-themed baby shower, praising his surrogate sister, saying they are 'in awe' of her.

He wrote: 'We Arthur, felt all the LOVE & SUPPORT today as we celebrated our pending baby’s arrival. This was also a day where we all got to CELEBRATE you Aoife Dowling in all your glory. We are all in awe of you Aoife. Your love, your strength, your courage. You are 1 IN A MILLION. We LOVE YOU.'

The post was flooded with support and encouragement for Aoife, as people agreed with Brian that she was 'one in a million.'

One fan wrote: 'Wow Aoife you look amazing, what a special lady you are, so beautiful on the outside but most most importantly on the inside.'

Another said: 'Stunning family, Aoife you look beautiful.' While a third wrote: 'Aoife is just amazing. What a wonderful kind lady.'

Brian previously told EVOKE: 'This time Aoife made a conscious decision herself not to be so obvious on Instagram.

'She got a bit of a hard time, we got a bit of a hard time, so this time Aoife said to us, listen, I'd rather if I just stepped back a little bit, and we obviously respect that.'

However, Aoife appears to be making a slow return to social media as just weeks ago, she appeared in Brian's pictures celebrating her birthday at a surprise party with all of Brian's sisters and nieces and nephews.
