At the time, Paul shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DXCDtcdiFqA\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a sweet video<\/a> of himself and Cat kissing goodbye to a dark and dreary Ireland before they landed in sunny Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The couple posed for a video on a sun-soaked beach with their beloved pooch, Bradley, in tow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/SnapInsta-Ai_3873674946568280704.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Byrom and Cat McKeown.

It\u2019s now a reality. Living in Spain! VAMOS!!!!!!,&#8217; Paul captioned the video clip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A host of well-known faces flocked to the comments section to congratulate the couple on their big move, with Rosanna Davison leading the charge. She wrote: &#8216;Wow!! Congratulations!!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;No way!!!!!
