It’s safe to say that we’re used to a secret relationship being revealed in The Traitors.
In the first season of The Traitors Ireland, we found out that Paudie and Andrew were father and son.
The players have even caught onto this pattern and spent the first episode trying to figure out who could possibly be related.
Despite there being less than a 10 year gap between Emma and Kayleigh, Carla was convinced they were mother and daughter. However, that isn’t the secret connection.
No, it was Diego and Denis who revealed that they are actually married!
During a game of traitorous musical chairs, all the contestants had to pair up and dance around bales of hay.
Diego and Denis chose to team up and viewers pointed out how close they seemed to have gotten. Some even asked if they were falling in love in front of our eyes.
The pair have actually been together for 11 years!
“The thing the other players don’t know is that I have quite a lot of experience dancing with Denis, because he is my husband of 11 years,” Diego revealed on Monday night.
me and my mam when diego and denis hugged on #traitorsirl : “ye only know each other a day??” “one of you has a husband!!”
then they revealed they were married and we collectively sighed with relief

Emma was the first person to be murdered from the castle with Edelle being the first person banished at the roundtable.
The original three Traitors picked her as their fourth Traitor, however, she didn’t last very long. In fact, she didn’t even meet the other Traitors before banished from the Castle.
The Traitors Ireland continues every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player
