The duo have been together since their schooldays – but split for a few years in 2012 when she moved away to New York for her career. They reunited in 2015 and have been going from strength ever since.

Laura is really well respected in her chosen field – advertising – and has a high-profile career. She studied at Smurfit for her masters in marketing, and also has a degree from DBS.

Back in 2015 when Cian and Laura got back together, a source told Independent.ie: “She’s a really nice girl – she’s very down to earth and very career driven.

“She did really well for herself in New York and she’s been there for Cian since she got back.”

In recent times, Ireland rugby talents Fergus McFadden, Iain Henderson, and Jamie Heaslip have all said ‘I do’.
