Thalia Heffernan has split from her rugby player boyfriend Angus Scott-Young, Goss.ie can exclusively confirm.
The model struck up a romance with the Australian sports star, who plays for the Northampton Saints in the UK, after they connected through a dating app last summer.
However, we can confirm the pair quietly called it quits in December, six months after they first met in May 2024.

The couple had been navigating a long distance relationship, as Thalia is based in Dublin and Angus lives in Northampton for work.
Despite the distance between them, the pair split their time between the UK and Ireland, and regularly shared loved-up photos and videos together.
But Thalia has now unfollowed Angus on Instagram, and deleted all trace of him from her Instagram feed.
A source told Goss.ie: “Thalia has always been someone who wears her heart on her sleeve and really fell head over heels for Angus, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.”

“She’s focusing on herself right now and is looking at 2025 like a fresh start. Work opportunities are already piling up so she’s being kept busy.
“While she’s disappointed it didn’t work out, everything happens for a reason and she’s trusting the timing of her life,” the insider added.
During an exclusive interview with Goss.ie as our Goss Cover Star last September, the 29-year-old gushed over their whirlwind romance, and revealed how they ended up going to Portugal on their second date.

However, Thalia also acknowledged the fact that they’re both from opposite sides of the world, and there was a chance he may have to move back to Australia in the future, depending on work.
“I mean, obviously, we don’t live in the same country and he’s from a different hemisphere, so there will be hurdles we have to face going forward,” she said at the time.
“For now, we’re just seeing how it goes. But we had dinner with my dad the other night, and my dad was like ‘I’ve never seen you so happy’. And I really am, I really am. And he’s an amazing guy, and I feel very, very lucky.
“I mean, it’s only been a month, so I should shut the f**k up… But yeah, I’m just very comfortable. It just feels very right. It all just seems very serendipitous.”

When asked how they were dealing with the long distance, Thalia said: “Do you know what, the great thing about him is he’s so busy. He’s working, he’s in preseason. I’m ridiculously busy at work.
“So both of us have hectic schedules, but I’m back and forth from London every two weeks getting my tattoo removal. I try and schedule it that I go over the weekend before, spend a few days with him. He works most days of the week. So right now, it’s just working that we just have this schedule.”
“And I mean, FaceTime, WhatsApp, all of these things make life so much easier now. We talk nonstop all the time when we can. And it hasn’t felt hard, it should feel harder than it is. It’s all been very easy.”

“We both have an agreement that it takes two people to make a relationship work, and if things don’t start to work, we’ll talk about. But for now, it’s working perfectly fine.
Thalia added: “Whatever happens in the future, happens in the future. But this is my phase in my life at the minute, and I’m very happy and I would find it difficult to hide that from the wonderful people who have supported me all these years.
“Thankfully people have been so wonderful, and especially people who know me. You know you can see in their messages they’re just like ‘This is the loveliest thing’.
“Because I guess I probably have been quite guarded since everything that happened in my last break up, and I was scared of letting that happen again. But everything in life is a risk, and this is a risk that’s worth taking for sure.”

Angus was Thalia’s first boyfriend since she split from professional dancer Ryan McShane.
They were together for six years and shared her rescue dogs, Lennie and Charlie, together.
The pair quietly split in January 2023, but Ryan publicly announced the news months later after she praised him for being so supportive of her move to NYC in a newspaper interview.
At the time, he wrote on Instagram: “In response to this article, I wish to set the record straight. Thalia ended the relationship with me in January and returned to New York. Just want to thank my friends and family for all the support given to me and the boys.”
