Eric Roberts and his family are making a major milestone

The dad has confirmed he's building a home for his family.

In a heartwarming video on social media, Eric confirmed they are planning on building their own home.

He told his followers: "So, it doesn’t look like a whole lot right now, but this field is where we’re going to be building our family home.

"People are constantly asking me when I’m moving to Dublin because I’m always there for work, but the fact of the matter is I love Donegal and this is where I want to raise my family."

Eric continued: "And to be able to say that we’re about to start building our forever home is a dream come true. It’s been a busy few months meeting with architects and trying to finalize plans, especially because Niamh wants two walk-in wardrobes and I want to games room."

Eric said they're beyond excited to start building their forever home.

"We’re so excited to start this next chapter of our lives. Casa Roberts is on the way."

Eric and his wife Niamh welcomed their first child, a son named Rian, on New Year’s Day.
