Dean Rock paid tribute to his fiancee Niamh McEvoy as the five-time All-Ireland winner called time on her inter-county career.
McEvoy, who made her debut for the Girls in Blue in 2007, announced her retirement on Monday night.
As well as five All-Irelands, the St Sylvester's club player also won two National League Division 1 titles and an All-Star in 2019.
Paying tribute to his 31-year-old partner, Rock said: "Very proud. What an amazing career. 15 years at the top of the senior game."
Announcing her retirement, McEvoy told Virgin Media Sport: "Obviously, I had no involvement during the National League, which just finished there over the course of the weekend.
"I had rang Mick Bohan in December to announce my retirement after Sylvester's finished up our great club run.
"I just decided it was the end for me. This is the first year in probably 18 years that I won’t wear a Dublin jersey. I played the whole way up through the underage ranks and had more than a decade with the senior team, so I’m just really grateful for the time I had there.
"Five All-Irelands is amazing. I played for so many years that winning All-Irelands wasn't the main thing.
"Playing for Dublin or playing county can be all consuming, and you need to be a bit selfish at times. I’m just really grateful for the huge support I got from my family, and my Mam and Dad in particular, Joan and Dave. And I suppose Dean (Rock) was pretty sound too, and my club are really great.
"For me, it wasn’t really about the All-Irelands in the end. At the time that was such a big deal, but I just made such amazing connections with some really, really great people. Coaches like Mick Bohan, I had a great relationship with him.
"I've friends for life and memories that I'll cherish forever."
Meanwhile, Dublin LGFA posted on Facebook: "An unbelievable player who gave her all in the sky blue jersey, enjoy retirement Niamh."
