The study, by parenting charity NCT, involved 296 first-time fathers. Of those, 44% admitted that after becoming a dad, they had a closer relationship with their partner. A further 19% said they felt a stronger bond with their other half. However, 6% said that the baby becoming the centre of attention had negatively influenced their relationship.
Elsewhere, the research found that 21% of fathers discussed less sex or intimacy with their partner after having a baby, citing less 'couple' time, more tiredness and different sleeping arrangements as factors.
Commenting on the findings, Sarah McMullen, Head of Research, NCT, said: "We've got some mixed news for dads – more family time can mean less couple time. Your relationship may flourish but your sex life may not.
"It's very common for relationships to go through phases where you or your partner lose interest in sex, or life just gets in the way.
"The dynamics of a new family can mean there is less intimacy between a mum and dad but over time the relationship is often stronger than before."
