Bachelor in Paradise’s Mary Viturino reveals the reason why partner Conor Canning missed out on the birth of their daughter Summer

Bachelor in Paradise‘s Conor Canning and his girlfriend Mary Viturino welcomed their baby girl, Summer Elizabeth Canning, in March. 

On Thursday, Mary told Studio 10 why Conor, 32, missed out on the birth of his own daughter – and it seems it was all down to timing. 

‘How is little Summer doing?’ host Sarah Harris quizzed Mary during the Channel 10 morning show.

‘[She arrived] six weeks early… I wasn’t expecting that,’ replied Mary. 

‘I literally left for a conference that day, so I watched via Facetime which was a bit sad,’ doting dad Connor told hosts Sarah Harris and Beau Ryan.   

‘It was so moving seeing how strong Mary was through the whole thing,’ he added. 

And while Connor was absent, he admitted the moment was made easier because his mum stepped in during Summer’s birth to support Mary.
