While we don’t currently know exactly when Abigail and Ira first started dating, the first photo she shared of him was back in 2017.

Just last week, Abigail shared a sweet tribute to Ira by posting a photo of him on her grid for Valentine’s Day.

She wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day to my perfect babekin (…) I love you so much and forever.”

Last year, Abigail shared her pain with fans after revealing that her father, Michael Breslin, had passed away after contracting Covid-19. He was 78-years-old.

At the time, she wrote: “At 6:32 PM EST , my sweet, perfect, amazing, heroic, wonderful dada passed away after my family and I said goodbye.”

She then added that the virus “cut my sweet daddy’s life too short.”
