The happy couple started dating during lockdown after Louise moved home to Ireland and are living in New York City.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner in September, the Limerick native said life could have been very different if it had not been for the covid-19 pandemic and her decision to move home.

“I had a three-year visa for America, and I was only seven months in when covid happened and there was a lot that could have been different had I stayed there. I met my boyfriend when I came home, and I started my business when I came home. I could have been living a very different life over there and I’m glad in a way that covid gave me the blessing of coming home,” she said.

Louise and Mark currently live together in Dublin.
