Bressie has finally broken his silence on the split from food blogger Roz Purcell. The couple were together for four years and went their separate ways in May.
Both Bressie and Roz remained private about the details of their relationship while they were together, and its been no different since they’ve split up.
While Roz has stated that herself and 25-year-old Bressie remain friends, the Blizzards singer had stayed tight-lipped until now.
Speaking on Songs in the Key of Life with Nadine O’Regan on Today FM he said, “It’s part of what you do. We had to spend a few weeks getting used to the idea ourselves.
“I found the most difficult part throughout the breakup was people trying to find the reason. The reality was, it’s no one’s business.
“The thing with me and Roz…we never used the media, we never put ourselves out there, like other couples may do. And we felt that because of that, we might not feel the full brunt force of [the media intruding]. And they didn’t, there was nothing nasty.”
Although the couple had a clean break-up, the former Voice of Ireland coach admitted that it’s still tough coming to terms with the reality of it.
“But it was difficult. As you get older, breakups are hard. They knock you down. I think only now am I getting back on my feet,” he said.
