Síomha who first met the MMA star turned actor on a night out in Dublin later took the opportunity to pop the question to on Leap Day in 2020 although she admitted that it was the 'scariest thing I have done in my whole life'. 'But was so, so worth it,: she added at the time. 'I couldn't be happier.'

'As adults, we accepted each other for exactly who we are and I'm so proud of everything she achieved in her too-short life." 'My family and I can't thank everyone enough for the support we've received since. The sandwiches, lasagnas, cakes. The chats, hugs, stories, touches of hands,' she continued. 'We have the most amazing network of friends, neighbours, colleagues and of course family. 'Go raibh míle maith agaibh. We've been blown away and so sincerely touched by the kindness of people. 'It reminds me of white blood cells, rushing to fight off infection. Community, rushing to help ease the pain,' she added. 'Now, we face a new normal without her. But she'll be with me – like a handprint on my heart. It'll never not be; Úna agus Síomha.' Úna passed away unexpectedly at her home in London on April 20. 'A beloved daughter of Damhnait and Dermot and dear sister to Síomha, Aedín and her brother-in-law Cathal,' her death notice reads. 'Úna's passing is a huge loss to the family. Deeply regretted by her wider family; aunts, uncles, cousins and her good friends in both the UK and Ireland.' Her funeral was held at St. Patrick's Church, in Esker, Lucan followed by burial in Esker Lawn Cemetery, Lucan. Tributes poured in, remembering her as bright, clever and funny. 'What a beautiful tribute to Úna, one of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever been fortunate enough to know,' one school friend shared. 'When I remember her, I remember us singing songs from Wicked and Hairspray in the hallways of Coláiste Cois Life. She was never without a song. My utmost sympathies to her family and love from Germany.'
