Brian Dowling and Arthur Gournounlian 'delighted' as they reveal baby daughter's godparents

Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian were “absolutely delighted” to reveal their newborn baby’s godparents over the weekend.

The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Blake Maria Rose Dowling Gournounlian, on September 1 with the help of Brian’s sister Aoife, who acted as their surrogate. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Brian told his followers that he and Arthur had chosen their friends, businesswoman and influencer Pippa O’Connor and publicist Simon Jones, to be baby Blake’s godparents.

Sharing photos of Pippa cradling her godchild and Simon posing with Brian, the former Big Brother star captioned the post: “When it came to choosing Godparents for Blake @gourounlian & I were looking for 2 people who had integrity, class, and good values & treated people with kindness & respect.”
