Bressie responds to rumours he had a ‘secret relationship’ with Leo Varadkar

Bressie has responded to rumours that he has secretly been in a relationship with Leo Varadkar.

The 39-year-old, aka Niall Breslin, addressed the speculation in the latest episode of his Where Is My Mind? podcast entitled Rumour Has It.

In the podcast, the musician admitted that a friend sat him down and told him people had been gossiping about him – and that a rumour had been spreading that he was dating the then Taoiseach.

“I think that it would be fair to say over the last few seasons of this podcast, that we’ve got to know each other pretty well,” Bressie began the podcast.

“But one thing you may not know about me is that for a number of years, I was dating the leader, Taoiseach, and prime minister of Ireland – Leo Varadkar.”

“Leo was my on-off partner for almost three years, and despite our differences – we still remain friends.

“We both had extremely demanding jobs that took it’s toll on our relationship, and at times we really struggled with each other’s politics – which in the end, was a bridge we simply couldn’t cross.

“But here’s the thing: Because of our respective jobs and profiles, we had to keep our relationship secret – it was for the best.

“So secret in fact, that we didn’t even f**king know about it. My mate Natalie had to tell me about it over a glass of wine,” he revealed – as he told listeners how he first heard about the rumour.

Of course, Leo has been in a long time relationship with Matthew Barrett, and Bressie made clear that the rumours were just that – and completely untrue.

Acting out a conversation between himself and his friend Natalie, Bressie said: “‘I hear you and Leo are dating’ – first I fecking heard of it.

“It’s what we call a rumour – and a bloody good one.”

“Let’s face it, rumours are ingrained into the very fabric of our society – and they certainly add a bit of excitement to our lives… Life would be incredibly boring if it was just full of facts and evidence.

“Generally rumours are just a little bit of bullsh*t…harmless enough and sometimes a little bit of fun – just like the love story between myself and the leader of the country.”

“But in some cases, rumours can have seriously sinister outcomes,” he continued.

“People can lose jobs, relationships, livelihoods, reputations, integrity, and unfortunately in some cases – their lives.”

Bressie then spoke to Dr Ciaran Dunne from the School of Applied Language & Intercultural Studies in Dublin City University about how and why rumours spread in social groups.

He also spoke with host of My Pod on Paper podcast Orlaith Condon about the good, the bad and the ugly of celebrity gossip.

On the latest episode of #GossChats, Goss.ie CEO Ali Ryan chats with top makeup artist and influencer Keilidh Cashell about her brand new makeup range, adjusting to life in the spotlight and how she’s kept calm during the pandemic.

#GossChats is sponsored by top Irish aesthetic clinic Haus of JeJuve.
