Rugby star Rob Kearney is off the market – and has been dating this blonde bombshell for the past year.
The Irish star has been known to be in a secret relationship for the past year, following the end of his romance with Susie Amy.
Now it has emerged that the 28-year-old Leinster player has been dating Jess Redden, 21.

They have been seen on each other’s arms at restaurants and bars around Dublin – and at a number of concerts together.
He had been trying his hardest to keep his relationship – which was “one of the worst-kept secrets rugby circles” – with the Dundrum native under wraps.
“Rob’s a very private guy and like a lot of the rugby players, he hates talking about his relationships,” a source told the Herald.
“So has made a point of not making a big deal when he has a girlfriend. It’s something he would prefer to keep out of the spotlight.

“He and Jess have been together for roughly a year and things have been going really well between them.
“It was common knowledge in their tight-knit circle that they were going out but they weren’t going to announce it.
“This is his first serious girlfriend since Susie so he’s been happy to let things develop away from the glare.”
Previously Rob dated Footballers Wives star Susie Amy, 33, for nearly four years.
