Taia Tulher opens up about motherhood as Mo Gilligan's paternity saga continues
The comedian’s fiancée describes the challenges of new parenthood amid confirmation of their secret child and prior paternity headlines

Mo Gilligan’s fiancée Taia Tulher has spoken candidly about the realities of motherhood, saying she has felt suffocated at times after secretly welcoming her first child with the comedian over the summer. The couple have not disclosed the baby’s name or gender, and representatives have not publicly detailed the arrival beyond confirming a birth in recent months.
Tulher posted a montage on Instagram that included scenes from her pregnancy and a clip showing the newborn in hospital. In a lengthy caption she described the ups and downs of parenting and praised Gilligan as someone she regards as kind and steady. She wrote about lullabies, the sense of unspoken love between parent and child, and the moment of recognizing that life has changed forever.
The pair have been seen socializing at public events since the birth, including last week’s appearance at a London Fashion Week show. A source told The Sun that the baby arrived a few weeks ago and that Gilligan and Tulher are in a blissful bubble. The baby’s gender and name remain private for now, shared only with close friends and family as they adjust to parenthood.
This development follows broader headlines around Gilligan’s paternity history. Reports last year alleged he fathered a son, Rudi, with former partner Selina Christoforou. Christoforou publicly spoke about limited involvement from Gilligan, describing a period when she felt she was raising their son largely on her own. The claims came after a viral TikTok in which she detailed her experiences and the perceived lack of support.
In response to those assertions, Gilligan released a brief video showing his son in a quiet moment with his father, signaling an ongoing but low-key effort to engage with the child. Twitter and other outlets covered the evolving story as details emerged, with no formal comment from Gilligan’s representatives at that time.
With the latest statements from Tulher about motherhood, friends and fans are watching how the couple will balance public life with private family matters. The Daily Mail reached out to Gilligan’s representatives for comment, but no additional details were provided at the time of publication. The situation underscores how personal developments in high-profile relationships often unfold publicly, even as the individuals involved seek privacy for their expanding families.
