The former Rose of Tralee met Tubridy when she appeared as a guest on his RTÉ radio show in March 2023.
They made their first public appearance together at the Irish Post Awards in London later that year, following Tubridy's departure from the Irish media.
Tubridy is already a father to two daughters, Ella and Julia, from his previous marriage to Anne-Marie Power.
