Joe Brolly receives belated wedding present from President Joe Biden

Joe Brolly has revealed he has received a "belated wedding present" from President Joe Biden.

The All-Ireland winner and GAA pundit got married to the American President's cousin and podcaster Laurita Blewitt last August.

And sharing a pair of cuff links on Twitter, Brolly revealed a present from "the big guy" has arrived at his home.

He tweeted: "Belated wedding present just arrived from the big guy."

Mayo native Laurita previously revealed that she and Brolly personally invited President Biden to their wedding - but he had to decline.

She said: “Well if the president of America was at the wedding it would have been a quiet one with security and secret service and all of that. It would have been a nightmare.

“We were both with him for St. Patrick’s Day at the White House, so of course we invited him personally and the invitation followed up.

“It turned out he had covid anyway, so he wouldn’t have been able to come but he thought it would have been ridiculous for him to come. It would have been too much security detail and all the rest of it.

Laurita, who is a third cousin of the president, added: “And planning a wedding is hard enough, without having to plan it for the president to join you. It would have been a nightmare.”

Laurita married barrister Brolly in an intimate ceremony at the Ice House Hotel in Ballina last summer.
