Nicky Byrne has opened up about his relationship with Georgina, admitting that he knew from a very young age that she was the woman he was going to marry.
The pair first met in Pobailscoil Neasain, and even though Nicky was only 13 at the time, he told him mum Yvonne that he was going to marry her one day.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Nicky said, “I was only 13, but I liked Georgina the moment I saw her. She was a really classy girl with big blue eyes and was very friendly and polite. I could chat away to other girls, but I just froze around her.
The duo got into a relationship when they were 16, got married in 2003 and then welcomed three children to the world: Jay and Rocco who are now eight, and their daughter Gia who is almost two.
“They’re best friends, although they fight like Noel and Liam Gallagher at times. They love Gia and are so good to her. Gia ia gorgeous and very advanced, and is a little daddy’s girl, which melts my heart.”
Nicky admitted that when Westlife broke up, Georgina was definitely his rock, and even after all these years, the pair are happier together than ever.
“Georgina has been brilliant, and really suuportive and we’re very happily married. When Westlife ended, I was probably under her feet a bit too much at home, but now it’s great because I go out to a fun job every day and still get to pick up the kids from school,” he said.
The Nicky Byrne Show with Jenny Greene is on 2FM weekdays at 11am.
