Who is Sharlene Mawdsley's partner, Michael Breen?
It's official! Sharlene Mawdsley has gone public with her relationship this week, but what do we know about her GAA star partner? The Olympic runner beamed alongside Tipperary GAA star Michael Breen following the Premier county's win over Waterford during the weekend. Tipperary hosted Waterford at Semple Stadium on Sunday, winning on a score-line of 1-30 to 1-21. Michael Breen. Pic: Seb Daly/Sportsfile But just who is Michael Breen? Here's everything we know… The Tipperary hurler was born on July 16, 1994, in Ballina. Breen keeps his family offline, so not much is known about his early life. Outside of sport, the 30-year-old is a teacher of Business and Geography at CBS High School in Clonmel. The sportsman received a Liberal Arts and Science/Liberal Studies degree from University College Cork in 2016, and graduated with a Master's degree in Food Business from the same university three years later.

Breen's hurling journey began at Castletroy College in Limerick, where he played in every grade of hurling. He eventually joined the senior hurling team and lined out in several Harty Cup campaigns. As a UCC student, Breen became involved in hurling as a member of the freshers' team, joining the senior team in his second year. Michael Breen. Pic: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile Breen joined the Ballina club at a young age, and he played with the Tipperary Minor Hurlers in 2011 and 2012. He won Munster and All-Ireland medals in 2012, and not long after, the hurler was playing for the Tipperary Under-21 hurlers. Breen made his Senior Championship debut as a substitute in the 2015 Munster semi-final against Limerick and managed to score a goal against them. Breen and Mawdsley kept their relationship private until the Premier County's win over Waterford during the weekend. Among the 28,758 attendees was Sharlene Mawdsley, who appeared to 'hard launch' her relationship with Breen. The 26-year-old shared a picture alongside Michael to Instagram on Sunday evening, captioning the sweet snap: 'Tippin' on.' Friends and followers took to the comments delighted with the snap, with Michael cheekily commenting: 'Any tag nah?' before sharing the picture to his Instagram Story. 'This fan was following me around all day,' he teased.
