Paddy spoke to Ryan Hall on the latest instalment of his Chattin’ Pony podcast. Ryan, also known as StillRyan, has been creating content on a range of social channels for a number of years as part of his ‘Still Gang’ brand with an emphasis on positivity and is a close friend of Paddy.
In the episode, Ryan sent his congratulations to Paddy on becoming a new dad. Paddy admitted he had less time for video games now he’s busy being a parent.
He said: “I’ve been speaking about it to be honest, I need to get back on it. But, especially now with two kids, it’s hard to find the time. It’s hard work. It’s boss. It’s a new life, a completely different life, especially with two of them.”
Paddy claimed that he had a special feeling he and Laura would have two children. He said: “Before we knew we were having twins, I said we were going to have twins. I’ve always said we’ll have twins.”
When Ryan asked how it feels to know you’re becoming a dad, Paddy said he was “shocked”. Ryan asked if they were planning for kids and Paddy replied: “No, it happened two or three months after she’d come off the pill. We’d just got back from Greece last year. She did a pregnancy test, picked me up from boxing and threw the pregnancy test at me. And then as I say…” Ryan interrupted: “Your life changes in seconds.” Paddy agreed with this phrase.
