They tied the knot in Richhill during the summer of 2009.
How many children do they have?
Rory and Jodie have three chldren; two boys and one girl.
Their names are Richie, Ben and Penny.
What have they said about each other in the media?
While Jodie likes to steer clear of the public life and doesn't do many interviews, Rory Best has been doting about her when asked.
In a 2019 interview, Best said that she helped 'keep him from going off the rails' as his rugby career took off.
He told Evoke.ie: "What I said to her the other day is ‘We’ve been together longer than we’ve been apart now at this stage’.
"We were in the same geography class together we just sort of met at a couple of parties.
"We kind of got talking and we’ve sort of been together ever since then. It’s great,’ he gushed.
"Probably the first date was The Coach nightclub in Banbridge I would’ve thought. The school used to do parties there... It seems so long ago.
"She knows how much I’ve been through. She knows also how hard it is to get to play for Ireland and how hard I’ve had to work.
"She ultimately knows what I’ve been through and how hard it is and how these moments are very precious and like that they can be taken away from you."
