Ryan Tubridy announces engagement to long-term girlfriend
Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy has confirmed his engagement to his long-term partner, Dr Clare Kambamettu. The ex Late Late Show host revealed that he popped the question to his fiancé, a former Rose of Tralee contestant, in a romantic engagement in the West of Ireland last Thursday evening, RSVP Live reports. "I have a little bit of news that I've been keeping to myself - to ourselves," he shared with his listeners on Q102 this 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." The revelation comes after Clifden's O'Dalaigh Jewellers told social media followers that the one-time Late Late host had popped in to buy a ring, leading to rife speculation the star was getting engaged. The loving couple posed with a staff member outside the Galway store in a now-deleted post, with his agent at the time unable to 'confirm nor deny' news that he was intending to get married. 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! '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. '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.' Ryan and Clare first made their relationship public in 2023 when they appeared at the Irish Post Awards in London. They later stepped out for photos at a gin launch in Donegal last summer as they posed for pictures together.
