'We got married 16 years ago on the island where we had our first holiday together.

'Happy Anniversary I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.'
Kian previously shared that they were only dating for eight weeks when they exchanged 'I love yous' on their whirlwind trip to the Caribbean.
'In 2003, I took Jodi to Barbados. We had only been together for eight weeks.
'As soon as you arrive in Barbados, you know you're on holiday as everyone's friendly and laid-back. It's a bit like Ireland.
'We enjoyed the place so much we decided to have our wedding there.'
The couple have three sons together, Koa (13), Zekey (9) and Cobi (7).
Kian and Jodi met backstage at a music festival when Albert was in pop group 'Girl Thing'.
The Westlife star asked music mogul Simon Cowell to introduce them, but was warned off as Jodi was just 15.
'I was standing with Simon Cowell and was like: 'Who's that?.' Simon said: 'No, no, no kiddo,' he previously told Fabulous Magazine.
'He was very protective because Jodi was just 15, but we flirted for the rest of the day.
'We didn't get together for another four years. Jodi was only 15 after all,' he added.

Much like OnlyFans, Passes allows for creators to post exclusive content that's only accessed behind a paywall. However, this site is different as users can only post safe-for-work content. But despite this, Gomas made the announcement alongside a series of raunchy pictures that showed off her tan body and defined abs. In her Passes description, Gomas told followers that they would get an inside look at the "chaos" of her workouts, sports, shoes, and outfits. "Thanks for flying with me," she wrote, poking fun at her viral video. "Make sure to say hi in my DMs, that's where all the magic happens." Gomas earned the nickname "crazy plane lady" after she was filmed wildly shouting in the middle of a flight in July 2023. Most read in The US Sun "But I am telling you, right now, that motherf**ker back there is not real," she was caught saying. The clip sparked an online wildfire, with Saturday Night Live even making an entire sketch based on the incident. Eventually, when Gomas was identified as the woman in the video, some brazen onlookers tried to connect with her. UFC star Conor McGregor slid into her DMs, but Gomas insisted that he wasn't trying "to get in my pants or anything," she previously said on the "He wanted to know what I saw," Gomas revealed to the hosts in November 2023. 5 Gomas said she didn't leave the house for four weeks after the video went viral Credit: Instagram @tiffanygomas 5 She made the announcement alongside some racy snaps Credit: Instagram/tiffanygomas 'I WAS A BRAT' Gomas admitted that she was filled with regret after seeing herself go viral for the explicit rant. "I was a brat," she told She said that she tries not to think about the outburst and wants to "block it out completely." At the time the video was taken, Gomas was a marketing executive who lived in Dallas, Texas. But she said her life was quickly put on pause when she got the unwanted press. "I stayed home for over four weeks because I was so ashamed and so embarrassed I didn't wanna go in public," she said. "It was not my best moment [...] It was actually a horrible moment. "Absolutely mortifying. How horribly mortifying." Passes subscribers will have to pay $9.99 a month if they want to send five DMs to Gomas and get access to her account. Read more on the Irish Sun For $20 a month, subscribers can talk for free all day long.
