A massive congratulations is in order for Muireann O’Connell who just announced her engagement!
Muireann often keeps her relationship out of the public eye, often referring to her other half as her ‘housemate’. But on Ireland AM this morning, her secret was revealed by co-hosts Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes.
Sharing a pic on Instagram, Muireann wrote: “Just how I wanted it to happen; @tommybowe & @alanhughestv announcing my engagement to the world after they finally spotted the ring.”
Speaking about her engagement on the show, Muireann revealed: “I got engaged at the weekend. It was very lovely! He was trying to pick a romantic place, we were in the Europe Hotel, and then we were in our favourite hotel in Cromane, but nothing was right.”
“Then I kept inviting my mother everywhere with us this weekend. He’d be like, ‘Come on let’s go for a walk,’ and I’d be like, ‘Mam come on let’s go!’ He took his opportunity when we were standing in the kitchen and I was making a cup of tea. He got down on one knee, and yes, I did cry.”
Before jokingly adding: “It took us years to get here, so the wedding will be in a decade.”
