Jake Carter has told how he and fianc\u00e9e Karen Byrne won’t be tying the knot until they buy their first home together.<\/p>\n

The younger brother of Nathan Carter got engaged to the Dancing With The Stars pro dancer now show judge in 2025 after seven years of dating. <\/p>\n

But Jake, whose new single ‘All That I Need Is You’ aired last week, revealed he and Karen<\/a> won’t be saying their ‘I do’s’ anytime soon and have decided to buy a house first.<\/p>\n

He told EVOKE: ‘Karen will be giving out to me soon. We haven\u2019t set a date yet. We keep saying once we get into our house is when we will officially start and hopefully get a date in there somewhere and a location as well.<\/p>\n

\u2018There are so many amazing places that we have visited over the years in Ireland, so we need to find the right venue.’<\/p>\n

His Wagon Wheel hitmaker brother is currently renovating his lakeside home in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh but Jake said he wouldn’t consider having his wedding on the grounds.<\/p>\n

‘No. I wouldn\u2019t like to bring that stress upon anyone. The last party I was at with Nathan made the headlines,’ referring to when police were called to Nathan’s home in 2021 to break up a birthday party that breached Covid-19 regulations.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we\u2019ll go somewhere else,\u2019 he said laughing, before adding: ‘Hopefully we\u2019ll set a date for next year or 2028.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jake also opened up about house hunting with Karen, saying he is so far enjoying the process of it.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone gives out about it but I actually enjoy the process of it. The prices everywhere in the world are nuts. People look at it negatively. As soon as you say to someone that you are going to buy a house in Dublin, they roll their eyes.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is the cards we have been dealt with as a country and this is where we are. You just have to work hard and the right house will eventually come up.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m enjoying it but I\u2019m not too far down the line.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve been living in the Lucan area for the last number of years now renting so we\u2019re hoping to not go too far here. Karen has the dance studio in Bluebell, and I love Lucan in a sense of its location.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jake was speaking at the launch of Breast Cancer Ireland’s\u00a02026 Very Pink Run, which will\u00a0see three large scale live events take place across Dublin<\/a>, Kilkenny and Cork between August 29 and September 6.<\/p>\n

Alongside the 5k & 10k run and walk routes, guests can enjoy live music, children\u2019s entertainment, family games and a range of festival style food trucks, promising a fun filled, uplifting atmosphere from start to finish.<\/p>\n
