Karen Koster has opened up about her home life, revealing that her husband has taken on a lot of responsibilities as she couldn’t do her job without him.
Speaking on Today with Daithi O’Se and Blathnaid Treacy, the Ireland AM presenter shared: “I couldn’t do my job without him. He keeps joking that he is a house husband from first thing in the morning until he gets the kids to school.
“It’s not easy for him, he’s getting three young kids out the door.”
She continued, “He absolutely has his hands full but what has been lovely and what I have noticed him and Eve are best buds. When I’m not in the picture the two of them are best buds, she’s a complete daddy’s girl they love their time together.”
On the show, Karen also praised her co-star Tommy Bowe, sharing what it’s like to work with him each morning. “He’s the nicest man you will ever meet. I wish I could say he’s really difficult and it’s a struggle but he is annoyingly good at broadcasting he has taken to it like a duck to water.
“What I love is that he doesn’t come in thinking he’s too cool for school he does the ridiculous stuff.”
Karen continued, “I sort of forget he had this amazing career.
“He was doing an interview with Ronan O’Gara and they showed footage of him and I went, ‘Who’s that?’ and I get like retrospectively impressed and kind of star-struck by him because I’m like, ‘I know you as this messer’.”
She went on to say that it’s been great working with Tommy, and that they have a lot of fun together on set. “He is so good at what he does and we have had such a laugh since we started working together in September.
“We’re all in it together. We have kids of similar ages, his little girl is going to be four at the weekend and he’s got a one-year-old Jamie as well so we’re sort of in the same boat in terms of the sleepless nights.
“It’s been great, we’ve really enjoyed it I have to say.”
