The singer is usually quite private about her love life but she has recently opened up about her romance with musician Niall McNamee.
According to RSVP Live Imelda said, “It’s going really so far, touch wood. I’m normally really private, I’ve had relationships that nobody has known about and they’ve come and gone.
“And I normally keep things quiet but this one seems to have taken wings, gotten out there so that’s ok. So far so good. I take things in the moment.”
The pair were friends since 2018 but began a romantic relationship during lockdown in 2020.
Appearing on Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything Imelda seemed happy to talk about Niall saying, “He is a messer and he makes me laugh, he’s brilliant. And he makes me laugh a lot. We’re a good pair.”
The singer has opened up about a lot of personal aspects of her life this year including her mental health struggles and the benefits she has found in counselling.
Speaking on the podcast, White Wine Question Time, she said; “[Counselling] just worked so well for so many people. When it does, you just want to share that with others” and that personally she felt “freedom” and how opening up has “liberated” her.
Imelda revealed that she also feels that one of the benefits of counselling is that it has made her more empathetic towards others. She can feel and spot when a person is in distress and may need to seek help.
“I can see those people who actually need it now, where I wouldn’t recognise that before.”
Despite the fact that counselling has helped, it is, at times, a taxing process. Speaking about this Imelda said; “You discover all these new things and I’m constantly…my brain fizzes, you know? I’m constantly going and it’s exhausting.”
