Shane Quigley Murphy has kept his private life out of the public eye.
But since joining Dancing with the Stars, he has shared that his girlfriend has been his number one supporter.
He has now confirmed that he has been in a relationship with his Fair City co-star after the pair met on set last summer.
The actor, who plays Ger on the soap, found love with Connie Doona who plays Zoe.
The pair started off as friends but it wasn’t long before romance blossomed.
Speaking to Extra.ie, he said: “We both came out of long relationships and it was one of those things meeting as friends initially, on a similar level as human beings, as artists and having goals that aligned.
“Above all what I have with her is a beautiful kindred soul bond. We get on as human beings, like a best friend.”
He went on to gush about his partner, saying: “You can share extremely intimate moments of every wide kaleidoscope of emotion with someone who supports me, has my best interests at heart, holds me to a standard probably higher than I hold myself to, but is there to back me all the time. She’s my crutch, she’s my rock and I like to think I do a few good things for her.”
Aw how romantic!
