RTE's Tommy Tiernan and wife Yvonne's life off camera as pair share cute pictures together

Comedian Tommy Tiernan has had a stunning few years on the Irish TV scenes with his hit RTE show wowing viewers each week.

The Navan funnyman has long been a household name across Ireland with a lucrative career on the Irish comedy scene.

He has also been a mainstay on TV screens with numerous acting and comedy stints over the years.

However the can often be quite private about his personal life in particular his wife and kids.

But a quick glance at his wife Yvonne's social media gives us a glimpse into the comedian's daily life.

Tommy is currently married to Yvonne McMahon, his partner and manager.

The pair got married on 9 August 2009 in Co. Monaghan they have been together since December 2002.

Tommy appears very often with Yvonne often sharing lovely snaps of their pair out and about together as well as a host of snaps with theirs.

She also loves to share snaps of their two adorable pooches Archie and Teddie.

Speaking about his modern family arrangement, Tiernan said: “It's not familiar, put it that way. Most people in the country grew up in one family,” he told the Irish Independent.

“Each of the families I'm connected to would regard themselves as self-contained families.

“I'm not at the head, the mothers are at the head, I'm more like the mischievous lieutenant, whom people don't really trust or listen to.

“Family life just happens in front of you and you can't control it."

Yvonne is no stranger to performance world, with her own interview series and podcast called "The Couch with Yvonne Tiernan" as well as managing and performing, with bands such as The Chieftains, The Grey Willows and The Raines.
