Claire Byrne has revealed that she had resigned herself to never getting married again or having children after her first divorce.
The RTE presenter was married to radio executive Richard Johnson, with the pair calling it off in 2005.
It would be six more years before Claire met her now husband Gerry Scollan and during that time she had settled on the single life.

“I’d resigned myself to the fact that I might not have children and I was fine with that,” she said.
“What was the point sitting at home and crying myself into my pillow?”
“I went to Nashville. I had a brilliant two years wandering around and having fun and I like to think that, as a consequence of not caring, it all happened for me.”

Claire admitted that she knew Gerry was The One after their first date.
“I didn’t know straight away but after the first date I did know. I had been around quite a while at that stage,” she told the Sunday Independent’s Living.
“I think at one stage I would have hated people who say ‘when you know you know’ but that was how it worked out.”
