The champion runner was among those wearing the blue and gold jersey cheering on Tipperary after the Premier County beat Cork at Croke Park yesterday.
In a post on social media, the sprinter from Newport in west Tipperary posted a picture of the couple holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
“Proud of you every day, but that little bit prouder today,” she wrote on Instagram, also sharing a heartwarming photo of the pair hugging each other.

The pair hit the headlines earlier this month when they were pictured kissing after Tipperary beat Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final.
They did a “hard launch” of their romance on May 18, following Tipperary’s win against Waterford in the Munster Championship.
The Olympian athlete shared a photo of herself and Breen from the pitch in their matching county colours, captioning it “Tippin’ on”.

Mawdsley was on the Ireland team that came fourth in the Paris Olympics last year in the 4x400m relay.
She suffered heartache just last month following the sudden death of her father, Thomas ‘Tucker’ Mawdsley, at the age of 67.
The runner returned to the track a few weeks later when a last-minute decision to compete saw her finishing third in the Women’s 400m at the European Team Championships in Slovenia.
Achieving a season’s best, she dedicated her bronze medal win to her father.

Breen’s hurling career started at his home town of Ballina on the Limerick border, where he joined his local club at an early age.
He made his senior championship debut as a substitute in the 2015 Munster semi-final against Limerick.
He was nominated for All-Star awards at midfield in 2016 and 2020 and won an InterProvincial hurling medal with Munster in 2016.
Breen (31) also posted a picture on Instagram with his teammates holding a trophy after Tipperary’s victory.
“Liam is coming home,” he captioned the post.
Tipperary claimed a 29th All-Ireland hurling title on Sunday, their first since 2019, defeating Cork with a 3-27 to 1-18.
