Who is Ryan Tubridy's partner Dr Clare Kambamettu?
Wedding bells might be ringing for Ryan Tubridy and Dr Clare Kambemettu, after a Galway jeweller let slip they had visited the shop together.
The pair have been together since 2023 after Clare accompanied the presenter to the Irish Post Awards in London.
The Rose of Tralee winner had been on Ryan's RTÉ Radio One show in March of 2023 discussing the benefits of manifestation and was later in the year spotted leaving his gated home before his move to London.

Dr Kambamettu holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and History as well as a Higher Diploma from NUI Galway (now University of Galway) before completing a Masters in Science in Mental Health.
The psychologist specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and provides training for The Learning Curve Institute on Mental Health-related topics.
In 2010, Dr Kambamettu entered the Rose of Tralee, representing London due to being born in Leeds, England. She was just 25 years old when she won, admitting she entered as a 'bit of fun.' The publication added that the jewelers informed them they were asked to take the social media post down by father-of-two Ryan Tubridy. Pic:for The Irish Post
The Irish-English woman returned to Athy, Co Kildare — where her mother is from — when she was eight years old.
Elsewhere, Dr Clare did a stint as presenter of RTÉ's The Eco Eye, alongside environmentalist Duncan Steward, who fronted the show, ecologist Anja Murray and immunologist Dr Lara Duggan.
It is believed Dr Kambamettu and broadcaster Ryan are set to begin the new chapter of their lives after a Galway jeweller let slip that the pair visited the shop together.

The Irish Independent reports that a now-deleted post said that a ring from the West of Ireland would mean 'so much' to Clare.
They revealed: 'From that, he chose a stunning 2.4 carat diamond ring which has a beautiful balance between a modern and old elegant style.'

Ryan Tubridy confirms engagement to long-time girlfriend after jeweller lets cat out of bag
Rumours have been swirling for weeks that the former RTÉ presenter had popped the question to the clinical psychologist and former Rose of Tralee winner, Dr Kambamettu Speaking on his Virgin Radio UK show, which is also broadcast on Dublin's Q102, the former Late Late Show host announced the pair got engaged while visiting the west of Ireland last week. 'I have a little bit of news that I've been keeping to myself, to ourselves,' he told listeners at the start of the show on Tuesday morning. "I'm very, very, very happy to confirm I did get engaged to my partner Clare in the west of Ireland on Thursday evening.' Tubridy thanked a number of listeners for sending in their well-wishes following the announcement and said 'it's a very beautiful feeling' and 'a very exciting time to be alive'. "We were surrounded by gorgeous people who we didn't know, strangers in the hotel, and people who were working around the place and got a beautiful ring organised, and the weather was gorgeous,' he said of the couple's time last week. "And it's just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I'll tell my family first. "It's a very exciting time to be alive. I'm a very, very lucky man, and I think it's one of those beautiful moments where the world feels lighter.' He joked people had told him he had 'some tan' from his time spent on Connemara, but he had actually gone 'pink and red from sitting on a lake in Renvyle'. Meanwhile, Mr Tubridy's jeweller posted on social media yesterday that the former RTÉ broadcaster had bought a diamond ring from the shop – before deleting the post. Rumours have been swirling for weeks that the former RTÉ presenter had popped the question to the clinical psychologist and former Rose of Tralee winner, Dr Kambamettu. O'Dalaigh Jewellers in Clifden posted on social media that Tubridy (52) had come to them 'discreetly' looking for a ring for a 'very special lady' and told them that getting the ring in the west of Ireland would 'mean so much' to Dr Kambamettu. The jeweller said they were 'grateful' for the request and added Mr Tubridy requested laboratory diamonds rather than mined gemstones to ensure they were conflict free and environmentally friendly. Dr Clare Kambamettu with Ryan Tubridy The post was accompanied by a picture of the couple with a staff member outside the shop in Clifden. However, after media queries to Tubridy's agent, the jeweller's social media posts were deleted. A spokesperson for O'Dalaigh Jewellers said Tubridy had asked them to remove the posts and that he would be announcing something shortly. A spokesperson for Tubridy told the Irish Independent they could 'neither confirm nor deny' news of an engagement. In their now-deleted post on social media on Monday afternoon, O'Dalaigh Jewellers said: 'Ryan along with so many others have fallen in love with Connemara over the years. He discreetly came to us to discuss a special ring he needed for a very special lady. He knew that getting the ring in the West of Ireland would mean so much to Clare and he also wanted to shop local, which we are very grateful for! 'Through working with customers it's lovely to find out their back story and what I can say after meeting Ryan and Clare is that it seemed like destiny that their paths would cross as they have both had so many great memories in Connemara and as a result have such a grá for the place. This love story continues and in the process it's great to hear some positive news. Wishing this very happy couple a wonderful future together. Jonathan and all the O'Dalaigh Team.' Tubridy and Dr Kambamettu made their relationship public in 2023 when they appeared at the Irish Post Awards in London. Dr Kambamettu was born in Leeds to her Indian GP father Ravi, and Irish physiotherapist mother Breda, and the family moved to her mother's home town of Athy, Co Kildare, when she was eight. She won the Rose of Tralee title as the London Rose in 2010 when she was 26. Dr Kambamettu has a B.A. in Psychology and History and H. Dip. in Psychology from NUI Galway. She also completed a Masters in Mental Health specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at King's College London, and has presented RTÉ's Eco Eye. Tubridy, the former Late Late Show and RTÉ Radio 1 host, has successfully hosted a mid-morning show on the UK's Virgin Radio since leaving RTÉ amid the fallout from the Irish national broadcaster's secret payments controversy. 'We chatted about Clare's style and bounced ideas over and back from London. From that, he chose a stunning 2.4 carat diamond ring which has a beautiful balance between a modern and old elegant style. The centre diamond is a 2 carat emerald cut with two tapered diamond baguettes on either side. "From our conversations with Ryan we knew Clare would prefer certified lab diamonds over natural diamonds to guarantee the stones being conflict free and without environmental impact from diamond mining.
