Former RTE star Eoghan McDermott announces engagement
Eoghan McDermott has announced his engagement to his partner Alessandra Heredia.
Former 2FM presenter Eoghan and Alessandra, who welcomed their first child together last month, announced their engagement on Eoghan's Instagram, which saw him share adorable photos of Alessandra with her new engagement ring, as well as from their maternal photoshoot and after the birth of their son Kevin.
'An earth angel said yes,' Eoghan wrote. 'I'm really glad I went for a coffee that day. Hopefully we can keep going for coffee together until we're grey and old.'
'Thank you for all your gifts, quite simply too numerous to mention – and for being the infinite bright spark in my life, every day, dusk til dawn,' Eoghan wrote in an ode to his wife. 'Kev Óg is simply blessed to have you as his mama.'
Eoghan also shared a poem that his father wrote about his mother in the sweet snaps, captioning the pics 'My Papa wrote a poem for Mam a few years back. One of the lines he wrote read: 'And I will travel any winter road with you, wherever you chose to go, if you will light the way.'
'I may borrow this one papa, if you don't mind.' Pic: Eoghan McDermott/Instagram
Alessandra works as a life coach and actress, gaining extensive degrees in Latin America before completing her studies at Stanford University School of Business. She founded her own company, Inside Out Coaching, and has worked in several films and television shows — having minor roles on screen such as Where the Trees Go, It Doesn't Stop and Spring Awakening.
Eoghan and Alessandra announced they were expecting their first child together in November of last year, with Eoghan announcing his birth in an adorable photo of their newborn son just last month.
Eoghan, who has kept a low profile since his sudden departure from 2FM back in 2021, shared a photo of he and Alessandra following Kevin's birth, with Eoghan revealing that they named him after Eoghan's father.

'Kevin Mateo McDermott. Welcome to the world, precious boy,' Eoghan wrote. 'You are so very loved. Named after my Papa (and his new Grandpa) – the wisest, kindest man of all. Mam said the other day 'oh it's Kev and Kev Óg'… so perhaps 'Kev Óg' will stick.'
'I'll take the best of what is good and strong and true and do my best to be a wonderful father,' Eoghan added, before paying special tribute to his now fiancée.
'And of course, thank you beyond what words will ever capture @alessandraheredia for a life-defining gift. You are magic in a bottle and Baby Kev will be all the richer in all the ways with you as his mother, that I know.'

I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again
IT can be heard to find a versatile top to style up for day or night without resorting to the same old T-shirt. So it's no wonder there's a new option from Marks & Spencer that has fashion fans all excited. 3 Mum-of-two Irene took to Instagram to share her new M&S fringe top Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 She teamed the top with some wide-legged cream trousers and metallic sandals Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 The £35 number also comes in black Credit: M&S Mum-of-two Irene is among them, and took to her The But it's the detail on the hem that really ups the wow factor - a gorgeous fringe trim.

Most read in Fabulous As another agreed: "It's truly cute!" "Fringe trims give this elegant top a fun, free-spirited twist," M&S said of the Collection top on their website. Shoppers run for summer's 'wow factor' denim jacket in M&S, it's set to go viral "The textured detailing adds movement and flair, perfect for lifting everyday outfits." Shoppers haven't been able to nab anything from M&S online for over a month, following a damaging cyber attack over Easter weekend in April. Personal data of customers, which may have included names, email addresses, dates of birth and postal addresses, was taken in the attack - after which M&S halted online orders. But now the outlet is once again accepting online orders on certain products - with "more of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day", John Lyttle, M&S managing director of clothing, home and beauty, said. In a statement posted on social media, he added: "We will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks. "Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us." Luckily enough, the fringe top is one of the products available to buy from the M&S website now. However, due to demand, delivery will take around 10 days.

Bonnie Blue's latest challenge results in deactivation of Only Fans account
Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has called off her latest challenge after facing severe backlash, which has even led to the deactivation of her Only Fans [OF] account. The 26-year-old gained notoriety for her extreme sexual content including a 24-hour challenge which saw her sexually involved with more than 1,000 men. Last week, the OF model announced her next event would see her 'tied up' inside a glass box 'ready to be used.' Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has called off her latest challenge after facing severe backlash, which has even led to the deactivation of her Only Fans [Only Fans] account. Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram In a now deleted website, the event was set to take place on June 15, with Bonnie explaining: 'For 24 hours, I'm all yours. 'Tied up, gagged, bent over, begging — however you want me, you can have me. No limits. No breaks. Just me, in a box and ready to be used. 'It's dirty, intense, and completely open. You can watch, join in, or do both. There will be live shows, group scenes, and plenty of chances to be involved — whether you want to take control or just enjoy the view.' The 26-year-old has gained notoriety for her extreme sexual content including a 24-hour challenge which saw her sexually involved with more than 1,000 men. Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram Bonnie gave further detail on the extreme event last month, telling Kat Baker on The Kat Baker Show that the glass box would be in a house in the centre of London and 'open for the public.' The 26-year-old added that she wanted to beat her record by 'doing 2,000 bodies' in the 24-hour period. Following intense backlash of the challenge, Bonnie — whose real name is Tia Emma Billinger — has pulled it and is set to do a 24-hour live-stream instead. Despite pulling the shock event, Bonnie has since had her Only Fans account deactivated with a source telling OK Magazine she has 'taken things way too far.' Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram Social media users took to X to have their say, with many hitting out at Bonnie for promoting 'public exploitation' and 'rape culture.' One said: 'Can we make a petition for this to not happen? Traumtised even knowing about it,' while another added: 'It's not a matter of 'She could get hurt.' She WILL get hurt. There's no way this turns out well.' Despite pulling the shock event, Bonnie has since had her Only Fans account deactivated with a source telling OK Magazine she has 'taken things way too far.' They added that she had been making 'tens of thousands' via the adult website, with that income ceased after Only Fans 'had no choice but to act' and pull her account. A spokesperson for Only Fans has since said that 'extreme challenge content' is not available or permitted on the website. 'Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation,' they added.
