Lyra has revealed she’s dating a former Ireland rugby star.
The singer opened up about her romance backstage at Dublin’s 3Arena, where she was filming for Virgin Media Television’s brand new entertainment show The Big Deal.
The Cork native, who is a judge on the show, admitted: “I don’t normally talk about my personal life. I feel bad when someone asks me because I don’t want to deny I am in a relationship. That would be very unfair.”
“And if I was going out with someone in the limelight and they said they didn’t have a girlfriend, I would be like, ‘Well, now you bloody don’t – you’re dumped!’ It is only fair for me to say that I am seeing someone at the moment.”
“They were in the limelight and they played rugby for Ireland,” she teased, keeping the identity of her beau secret.
“He is huge, he makes me feel so skinny. I think to myself, ‘I don’t need to diet, I’m tiny’ and then I see myself beside normal sized people.”
Lyra said: “We met randomly on a night out, I was absolutely wasted. I was like ‘Well, you’re fine, aren’t you?’ and that was it!”
“I was dancing around the nightclub with a bottle of prosecco in hand and he knew I was the one for him.”
