Jennifer Zamparelli celebrated her 44th birthday over the weekend.
Amid her “extended break” from RTE 2fm, the radio presenter marked the occasion with a glass of bubbles on Sunday.
Taking to Instagram, the Dancing with the Stars host posted two pictures of her taken 40 years apart.

She captioned the post: “First pic…4 years of age. Second pic…44 years of age. Wow how did that happen?! Another year older and wiser (apparently).”
“Definitely making better breakfast choices … I haven’t had coco pops in a long time!
“A lovely birthday with family and friends counting all my blessings and looking forward to the next chapter ❤️.
“Still happiest when eating, spending time with people close to me and being creative. Still hate cauliflower, spiders and being told to wait. Shout out to all my #Aries people 🥳🥳❤️🎂🎈,” she added.
Jennifer was inundated with messages wishing her a happy birthday, with many followers clearly baffled by her age.
One follower commented: “You can’t be 44. That’s impossible!”
Another wrote: “Just googled ‘Jennifer Zamparelli age’ incase Jen herself was mistaken and she was infact max 39.”
A third follower added: “You look younger in the 2nd pic 🔥.”
Earlier this month, RTÉ 2FM boss Dan Healy was forced to deny rumours of a dispute with Jennifer over her contract.
At the start of April, the popular presenter announced that she was taking an “extended” break from her radio show to go on holidays.
The news came amid industry speculation Jennifer was in a standoff with bosses relating to her contract, but these rumours have since been branded “bulls**t” by Mr Healy.
Speaking to the Sunday World, he said: “She’s on leave. It’s bullsh*t. Bullsh*t, bullsh*t, bullsh*t. She’s on leave. It’s farcical.”
“She posted on social media that she’s going on holidays. The 2 Johnnies were off from the 14th of December to the 20-something of January.”
The radio boss insisted he has no problem with Jennifer, and explained: “It’s the reverse. She’s brilliant, absolutely brilliant.”
“On the breakfast show from the very beginning with Bernard (O’Shea) and Keith – she’s an absolutely brilliant broadcaster. She’s a superstar, absolutely brilliant. It’s absolute nonsense.”
