Dad-of-two Brian McFadden has opened up about fatherhood and how he regrets missing so much when his oldest daughter, Molly, was a baby.
Speaking in a guest column for Closer magazine, Brian praised TV presenter Matthew Wright for his decision to become a stay-at-home dad.
Brian, who has two daughters with his ex-wife, Kerry Katona, said: “I find it admirable that Matthew’s putting his family before his career.
“When I had my first daughter, Molly, I missed out on so many of those wonderful things in those first years as I was constantly on the road.”
He goes on to say he “envies the time Matthew will have with his first baby and all those wonderful memories.”
Brian enjoyed a hugely lucrative career with boyband Westlife before leaving to embark on a successful solo career as both a singer and TV presenter.
The 38-year-old is now very close to Molly, 17, as well as her younger sister Lilly-Sue, 15.
The three recently went on holiday together – along with Brian’s girlfriend, teacher Danielle Parkinson – which the singer called “bliss”.
