After co-hosting Fame Academy together back in 2002, the pair remained friends for 10 years before striking up a romance.
In a recent interview, Kielty admitted that there had always been a ‘spark’ between them despite their relationship being platonic in the early days.

He said: “There was always a little bit of a spark between us but either she was with someone or I was with someone and by the time we were both single she was in America.
“It was always one of those things that never worked out.”
Discussing the possibility of having children, he joked: “I hope any child we might have has Cat's looks and my accent. With our two strong accents, we basically needed subtitles or a UN translator.”
The couple will welcome their new baby next year.
