Niamh de Brún and TJ Reid are GAA royalty.

We travelled down to Kilkenny to catch up with the couple and their young daughter, Harper, for our July issue.

They are the picture perfect family…and you can see those fabulous snaps in the new issue of VIP Magazine.

And Niamh shared with us how the couple met and it’s so cute.

“Our story is quite a funny one. He added me on Snapchat, and then I started receiving these interesting photos of his cows on the farm,” she tells us.

“Having spent my summers in Kerry with my family on my dad’s farm, I was quite used to farm life. At the time, I was living in Cork, having just spent a year living in Australia, so he made the trip down, and we went on our first date. From there, I suppose you could say the rest just evolved naturally.”

Speaking of moving to Kilkenny, she says: “A job opportunity came up for me in Kilkenny. Looking back, it almost feels like fate played a hand in it, so I moved up. Kilkenny itself is such a vibrant city, which made the move easier. I have to admit though, at the time I definitely didn’t fully grasp the level of commitment and the sheer scale of hurling for a player – and the associated lifestyle!

“If I knew then what I know now, I probably wouldn’t have been quite as optimistic about eventually moving back to Limerick, or even to Kerry, which I absolutely adore. But we’re very settled here now, and it’s home.”
