RTE 2FM star Doireann Garrihy splits from boyfriend, and asks Michael Buble for break-up advice

RTE star Doireann Garrihy has confirmed she has split from boyfriend Paddy Wilson.

The couple had been dating since 2019 and moved in together in North Dublin back in 2020 just before lockdown.

The 2FM host revealed that she is no longer in a relationship during a chat with superstar Michael Buble on her podcast, The Laughs Of Your Life.

During an episode with Bublé, the presenter mentioned that she has just come out of a relationship and asked him for some life advice as she enters her 30’s.

She said: “I’m 30 next month, I’m recently out of a relationship, what would your advice be to me hurtling into the thirties?”, she asked.

In response, Micheal said: “I have a feeling that I don’t have to give you this advice because you strike me as a person that already instinctually understands, be in this moment.

“And enjoy and be grateful for the health of your family, for your beautiful life, for the love that you’re bringing the whole world, because obviously so many people watch you and listen to you and you’re bringing so much joy and enjoy every second of it.

“And by the way, those good things, those huge things that happen to you, just stay even. And the bad sh*t that happens to you, just stay even because time is on your side. It was always on your side and everything is going to. get better, even when you feel like it could never get better, it’s going to get better.”

Doireann admitted she had to try not to get emotional after the advice and swiftly moved on to the next question, not before thanking Micheal for his insight.

In 2020, Doireann moved in with Paddy in March at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

She said at the time: “The night that Leo said this is it, this is lockdown, [Paddy] was over with me and we had had a glass of wine.

“So I was like, ‘Well, you can’t go anywhere now.’ ”

The RTÉ 2FM presenter revealed that she was moving out of her sister Ailbhe’s home and she planned on living alone for the first few months.

“It was due to be just me [living here] for a few months and then all going well, maybe he’d move in, but we’ve been thrust into it now and it’s been a great learning experience,” she explained.

“He’s a serious cook, so much so that he won’t actually let me do it. I’m like, grand!”
