Bono and Ali Expecting Third Child

Filed under: News & Rumors by U2Exiteer SPun2U Add comments


U2 star Bono and his wife Ali are expecting their third child.

Ali, the inspiration behind the U2 hit “Sweetest Thing”, is due to give birth this summer (99). The couple already have two children - Jordan, 10, and Memphis Eve, eight.

But while the couple’s family and friends are reported to be thrilled, the news will come as a shock to the organisers of a charity auction four years ago (95) - where Ali bought her husband a voucher for a vasectomy.

She paid $320 for it at the auction in aid of the Dublin AIDS Alliance. It was never disclosed if the singer took up the offer. (@U2 note: Bono later donated the vasectomy to a Dublin man who explained on national radio that he needed the surgery, but couldn’t afford it.)

Bono and Ali have been married for nearly 17 years and have lived in a luxury mansion in Dalkey, Co Dublin since the early 1980s. Ali is a volunteer worker with the Chernobyl Children’s Project and has made several mercy missions from Ireland to Belarus to help chronically sick children.
