Inside Kian Egan and wife Jodi Albert's love story as singer posts birthday tribute
Kian Egan has paid a beautiful birthday tribute to his wife Jodi Albert. The Westlife singer married Jodi back in 2009, with the couple sharing three children together and Kian sharing a lovely pair of photos as they celebrated Jodi's 42nd birthday. Kian and Jodi met in 1999, but didn't get together until four years later. Pic: Jodi Albert/Instagram While many know Kian as a member of Westlife, his wife has also been heavily involved in the entertainment business; previously being a member of girl groups Girl Thing and Wonderland, and playing Debbie Dean in Hollyoaks. The couple (sort of) met in 1999, when a 19-year-old Kian met a 15-year-old Jodi backstage at Party in the Park when Jodi was in Girl Thing; with Kian previously saying that he asked their manager Simon Cowell, who was standing beside him, who she was. Nothing came of the encounter until four years later, with Kian and Jodi sharing their first kiss. While Jodi was in a relationship when they kissed, she has since joked that she's off the hook as she kissed her future husband. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kian Egan (@kianegan) In 2009, Kian and Jodi wed in a lavish ceremony in Barbados — where they spent their first holiday together six years earlier — with them welcoming their first child into the world, son Koa, in 2011. In 2015, the couple welcomed their second son, Zekey, into the world, while their third son Cobi was born in 2017. The couple currently reside in Strandhill, Sligo. Taking to his Instagram on Wednesday, Kian wrote a touching tribute to Jodi as she walked the pair's dogs and posed with the pooches, saying 'What an amazing day we had yesterday celebrating my amazing wife @jodialbert on her birthday. We love you so much baby and hope you had the best day ever xxxx.' The couple wed in 2009, and share three sons – Koa, Zekey and Cobi – together. Pic: Jodi Albert/Instagram Just last year, the couple shared a lovely series of photos of Koa as they made an emotional tribute on his final day of primary school.
