Just a few short weeks ago, Annalivia Hynds and Ruairi McGivern tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in Killeavy Castle, a short jaunt away from their home in Armagh.
For our September issue, we brought the family of five back to the beautiful spot to take a trip down memory lane.
Annalivia is one of the biggest influencers in the country. She went from juggling three jobs with crippling childcare costs, to working for herself and building a schedule which allows her the freedom to be at home with the kids, watching them grow up – her one big dream.
“All I wanted was to make enough money off social media so that I didn’t have to pay for childcare any more. I didn’t want a massive wage, just to be financially secure enough to be able to stay at home and raise the kids myself. That’s what I worked towards,” she said.
She has 600k followers on TikTok and a further nearly 400k on Instagram.
However, Annalivia has opened up about dealing with the negative side of internet celebrity. Including her home address being leaked and having fans arrive at her door with her three young children, Rhea, Robyn and Rian.
“If people want to see me, they don’t need to come to my house – I’m always out and about for work. I love meeting people, because without them I wouldn’t be in this job, but my children’s safety is always my biggest concern and our number one priority. We’re always monitoring to make sure we’re making the best decisions for them and their future.”
