The popular presenter has been a mainstay host of the hit breakfast programme since 2021.

The 42-year-old has been in a ten-year-long relationship with her partner who she affectionately refers to as her “housemate”.

The pair got engaged to in 2021 and have since been looking for a house to buy.

Yesterday, Muireann and her “housemate” were due to head out for the night to meet friends for some drinks.

But, before heading out, Muireann spoke to her fans about the final episode of The Traitors.

She said: “Hi this is not a spoiler, but last night we were watching The Traitors and the housemate was on it, he was like, ‘OK it’s on half-an-hour earlier tomorrow night, we’ve got to be ready for it, wine in the fridge… that kind of stuff’.

“And then I broke the news that we actually have plans tonight and that we had to go out and he’s delighted and I won’t be looking at my phone until I get home later on.”

However, Muireann didn’t realise that Instagram’s auto captions had changed her referring to her “housemate” to Husband, which began a night long confusion for her fans.

As her night continued Muireann shared a sly snap of her partner and her sitting at a table at the Intercontinental in Dublin.

Later in their night the pair were joined by Virgin Media news reporter Zara King.

Muireann and Zara shared a stunning selfie, which she captioned: “She’s worth missing The Traitors.”

Muireann then posed for a quick snap in the five-star hotel toilets showing off her chic forest green top and midi skirt combo.

After her night out, Muireann took to Instagram this morning to address some questions she had gotten over the course of her night.

Still in bed and covering her face, she said: “Hiya, not married, just hungover. I must have used the word ‘Husband’ on a story and lots of questions.

‘MY HUSBAND’

“I do think of him as my husband. I’m just not spending stupid money for the privilege of saying it.

“We’re almost a decade in lads. We’re too lazy to look for something better.”

Recently, Muireann took to her Instagram to tell fans about her heartbreaking conversation with a builder as she hunts for a house with her partner.

The Limerick native spoke about the housing market and soaring prices over on her Instagram last night after watching the latest episode of RTE‘s Room To Improve.

Muireann shared a picture of her TV after watching the episode and said: “Ahh lads, you could feel the stress coming off Katie. So happy for them!”

The popular presenter was then flooded with messages from fans sharing their shock at the cost of the transformation.

Muireann took the opportunity to educate her followers on the high expenses it takes to buy/renovate a home.

She said: “A builder the other day was saying that building costs have gone up 40% in five years.

“Katie and Jason are based in Dublin and that is the reality they were handed with. You think they wouldn’t have wanted to spend €15k and be done with it. They would have had fine plastered walls and that’s it.”

The Belarussian world No.1 – champion Down Under in 2023 and 2024 – destroyed her equipment in a moment of rage as Keys cried with her family and friends on the Rod Laver Arena.

Sabalenka, 26, said: “I’ll come back stronger and do my best next year.

“I did my best but Madison was incredible. I couldn’t do anything in this match. Next time we play, I’ll bring better tennis.

“Madison, wow, what a tournament, you have been fighting really hard to get this trophy.”

Keys – who beat world No.2 Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals – is coached by her husband and had to contend with a nasty hamstring injury last summer.

The Floridan, 29, received a cheque for £1.8MILLION, had tape on her left thigh as she made amends for losing to fellow Yank Sloane Stephens in the 2017 US Open final.

She said: “I’m glad I finally got Aryna back. We have the craziest matches.

“To win my first Grand Slam here means the absolute world to me.

“I have wanted this for so long. My other final didn’t go my way – I didn’t know if I would ever get back to this position.

“My team believed in me every step of the way – so thank you so much.

“Last year was tough with bad injuries. I didn’t know if I could do it again.

“I’m dazed and confused right now. I cannot wait for more trophies.”
