RTÉ star Sinéad Kennedy opened up about family life recently.
Sinéad’s husband, Conor Kirwan, is a naval officer who works with the European Defence Agency in Brussels, while Sinead is in Ireland with their two kids.
The couple have had a long-distance relationship for years including while co-parenting their two children between Ireland and Belgium.
Now Sinéad has told EVOKE how her husband will eventually return to Ireland – and where they’ll be calling home.
She said: ‘We make it work. My mother is a saint, like she’s why I’m here now [at the Style Awards]. You know what I mean? She does everything. She’s incredible.
‘The long-term plan is that he’ll be moving back to Ireland. This is just a finite situation. It’s not forever. Cork is where it is at.’
For now, the RTE Today host will be taking the summer off to live in Belgium with Conor and ‘enjoy being a family of four’.
‘I’m still on Today. I love it. It’s such a fun show. You go, you have fun, you do the show. I love it. That’s all I want,’ Sinead said.
She added: ‘I’m taking the summer off and going to Belgium. I cannot wait. I’m going over, and we’re just gonna sit there as a four. There’ll be no flying anywhere.
‘We’re going to sit and chill and enjoy the back garden.’
Sinead and Conor first met back in 2005 when she was presenting a live link from the European Capital of Culture and Conor was a naval officer on the LE Emer in Cork.
After eight years, they said I Do in Co Kerry, exchanging vows at St Michael’s Church in Sneem before celebrating at their reception in Dromquinna Manor in Kenmare.
Their family grew in 2021 when they welcomed their daughter, Indie, and again in 2023 when their son, Theo, was born.
