Aidan O'Shea marked New Year's Eve by going for a swim with his girlfriend off the coast of Kerry.
The Mayo GAA star and his partner Kristin McKenzie Vass went for a dip in Fenit, which is located on the north side of Tralee Bay.
Sharing a photo of the couple on her Instagram story, McKenzie Vass described the swim as the "coldest dip yet".
The pair recently enjoyed a pre-Christmas holiday in Dubai as they soaked up the sun.
McKenzie Vass shared a number of photos of the couple in the Middle East on Instagram, commenting on the post: "Dubai spam".
O'Shea and his other half can be seen smiling by a pool, sitting on a camel and relaxing on a beach.
Commenting on the snaps, the Mayo captain said: "Take us back."
It was another disappointing final loss for O'Shea and Mayo this year as the Westerners lost to Tyrone by 2-14 to 0-15 at Croke Park in September.
Joe Brolly strongly criticised O'Shea following the defeat, describing him as a "protected captain who does not lead and never will".
But the comments were slammed by fans, while GAA President Larry McCarthy hit out at the “overly harsh, unfair, and downright cowardly” criticism aimed at players in the wake of All-Ireland finals defeats.
McCarthy didn’t specifically refer to Mayo, but it appears the Cork native was referring to Brolly, among others, and the criticism of O’Shea.
McCarthy’s statement came after Mayo GAA released their own statement, hitting out at “unnecessary and unacceptable” personal attacks on their team and management.
Former Mayo player John Casey labeled the online abuse of players and managers as “absolutely disgraceful to the highest degree.”
McCarthy said: “Words matter. What one says matters. What one puts in the public domain matters.
“This was a point I made at Congress in February 2021 in the context of, what Bob Costas (American sportscaster) calls, a corrosive asault on civility.
“That corrosive assault has been perpetuated recently by members of the ‘critics collective’ and by many people who term themselves supporters in their reaction to the All-Ireland football final.
“The criticism emanating from these people has been overly harsh, unfair and in some cases, cowardly.
“It has gone well beyond fair analysis. Critical evaluation of match performance is fine, and expected, but overly harsh scrutiny of amateur players is unjustifiable.”
