The pair often share snippets of their day-to-day lives with their little ones on social media.
Two-year-old Blake is gearing up to start play-school this year and both Brian and Arthur have been preparing her for the big change.
The couple brought Blake to her preschool for the very first time last month.
Brian took to Instagram today to share an update as the two-year-old continues to settle into school life.
The dad-of-two first shared a clip of himself carrying Blake on his shoulders as they made their way to preschool.
In the video, Blake looked excited for the day ahead as she smiled at the camera when her dad asked if she was looking forward to school
After dropping her off, Brian admitted: “School drop off done – does it actually get easier?
The popular presenter added that it has become “much easier”, as he explained: “I actually drop her at the door with the teacher, I don’t have to kind of walk in and put her at the desk and do all of that.”
However, he confessed that he still finds it tough to walk away.
Brian said: “But when I walk away I’m telling myself, ‘don’t look around, don’t look around’, but then I do look around and she’s perfectly fine.”
The 46-year-old then joked: “Maybe when she’s eighteen this won’t be as bad.
He added: “What is nice though is I was able to do it this morning and I didn’t feel like I was rushed which was really nice.”
The TV host ended the update by revealing he was heading back home for a quick “cup of tea” before getting ready to record something new.
However, he didn’t reveal what the secret project was.
Brian recently admitted he’s been having a “tough” time as he fought back the tears in his emotional farewell statement on 98FM.
OFF AIR
After more than two years at the helm, the TV star called it quits on his radio show.
He had been co-hosting a weekday morning show from 10am to 1pm with Suzanne Kane since March 2023.
However, the pair haven’t hosted the show together in months with Leanne Hanafin replacing Suzanne.
It was the dad-of-two’s last time co-hosting his 98FM show last week and emotions were at an all time high in the studio.
Brian got teary-eyed as he signed off saying: “I promised myself I wasn’t going to get upset. You’re tearing up, don’t tear up!
“I have had the best time here for nearly two and a half years. It’s been an absolute blast. It’s been an honour to sit in this chair for the length of time I have.
“I’m sure a lot of people thought, ‘Oh, Brian Dowling got a job – He’ll be in it six weeks and he’ll be gone’. I have given this show absolutely everything.
“I became a dad on this show. I’ve had television success on this show. I’ve had it all on this show.”
