Tubridy has a stand-in for his Virgin Radio show in London from Monday for the rest of the week, DJ Emma B.<\/p>\n
\u201cRyan has been telling colleagues he\u2019s getting married this weekend,\u201d a Virgin Radio UK source told us.<\/p>\n
Former RT\u00c9 Radio and Late Late Show presenter Tubridy confirmed his engagement earlier this year when O\u2019Dalaigh Jewellers in Clifden posted on social media that he had bought an engagement ring for a \u201cvery special lady\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tubridy (52) proposed to Dr Kambamettu (41) by the Atlantic shore, and the couple later celebrated in local hotels.<\/p>\n
Confirming the news on his radio show at the time, Tubridy told listeners: \u201cI have a little bit of news that I’ve been keeping to myself, to ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m very, very, very happy to confirm I did get engaged to my partner Clare in the west of Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tubridy thanked a number of listeners for sending in their well-wishes following the announcement and said \u201cit\u2019s a very beautiful feeling\u201d and \u201ca very exciting time to be alive\u201d.<\/p>\n
“We were surrounded by gorgeous people who we didn’t know, strangers in the hotel, and people who were working around the place and got a beautiful ring organised, and the weather was gorgeous,\u201d he said of the couple\u2019s time last week.<\/p>\n
“And it’s just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I’ll tell my family first.<\/p>\n
“It’s a very exciting time to be alive. I’m a very, very lucky man, and I think it’s one of those beautiful moments where the world feels lighter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tubridy chose Joe Duffy\u2019s retirement party in June to make his first public appearance with his new fianc\u00e9e Clare since the announcement of their engagement.<\/p>\n
The pair turned up to Joe\u2019s going-away drinks in Dublin city centre pub The Duke.<\/p>\n
A beaming Tubridy called over photographers and said with a smile, \u201cI presume you want a picture of the ring?!\u201d.<\/p>\n
His fianc\u00e9e then proudly showed off her sparkler, with the couple being congratulated by well-wishers.<\/p>\n
Clinical psychologist Dr Kambamettu, who lives in Athy Co Kildare with her mother, trained in the English capital and later won the London Rose pageant in 2010.<\/p>\n
D\u00e1ith\u00ed \u00d3 S\u00e9 was the presenter of that year\u2019s Rose of Tralee pageant, which Dr Kambamettu went on to win.<\/p>\n
Ray D\u2019Arcy hosted the pageant in 2005 at which Aoibhinn N\u00ed Sh\u00failleabh\u00e1in won, and four years later went on to date Tubridy.<\/p>\n
Ryan (50) and N\u00ed Sh\u00failleabh\u00e1in split in 2014 after a five-year relationship \u2013 she went on to marry Carlos Diaz in 2017 and the couple have two children.<\/p>\n
Tubridy himself is a former Rose of Tralee presenter, in 2003 and 2004.<\/p>\n
Tubridy was previously married to broadcaster Anne Marie Power, who is the mother of his two daughters \u2013 Ella and Julia.<\/p>\n
Dr Kambamettu has also dipped her toe into the world of broadcasting, having been a co-presenter of The Eco Eye from 2020 until it was axed.<\/p>\n
She was interviewed by Tubridy on his RT\u00c9 radio show in March 2023, discussing topics like manifestation, which is linked to her previous Rose of Tralee win.<\/p>\n
They made their first public appearance as a couple later in 2023 at the Irish Post Awards in London.<\/p>\n
Tubridy has made the capital his base, since departing RT\u00c9 after a storm of controversy two-and-a-half years ago over his pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A statement from Tubridy\u2019s agent Noel Kelly confirmed the news this afternoon. “Ryan Tubridy and Clare Kambamettu are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,66371,6084,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-179730","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-rose-of-tralee","11":"tag-ryan-tubridy","12":"tag-top-news","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-topnews","15":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
