Mother and baby are said to be doing "very well," and a friend said: "Shane is over the moon."

Shane and Sheena got married last August after a brief engagement, and the singer has made no secret of his desire to start a family.

After announcing Sheena was pregnant in June, Shane claimed he was too happy about the impending arrival to worry about how it would change his life.

He said at the time: "I don't feel nervous about it - I'm just very excited. I've wanted to be a dad since I was 20. It was all I ever wanted, and now it's happening I couldn't be happier."

The 32-year-old singer also revealed his plans to have an idyllic family, adding he has always wanted lots of children.

He said: "I have a dream of a house with a white picket fence and children running around. I'd definitely like more than one child, but that's not up to me. We'll have to see how the labor goes!"

Boyzone recently reunited and completed a comeback tour earlier this year.

Their new song "Love You Anyway" entered the U.K. singles chart at number five earlier this month.
