In May last year, news broke of the couple ending their relationship.

Kearney wrote on Facebook at the time: ‘Joey and I are no longer together. We have had our differences, I made a mistake and things came to a point where, right now, they can’t be fixed if we are together.

He then added: ‘We are taking this time to focus on ourselves, become better people and then hopefully rekindle our relationship.

‘We still love each other, he is still my best friend… but sometimes what’s best for a relationship in the long run, is some time apart,’ he said.

But it appears they clearly worked things out and are now stronger than ever.
