"It still hasn’t sunk in just yet that we have our very own little boy. I can’t wait to make the most amazing memories with Shannon and Cooper as we begin our little family. I’m so amazed by Shannon and she is now my Hero. I’m so proud of her for everything she has gone through. I can’t wait to have you both home. It’s so hard having to leave you both. I will love you both forever until my last breathe," he added.

Murray first announced that he and McCaffrey were gearing up to become parents back in July.  The Irish actor took to his Instagram handle to share a post and revealed that the couple is expecting a baby in January 2021.
