Sinéad Kennedy's life has gotten a lot busier since the arrival of her son Theo in November 2023, and her return to TV.

As any parent knows, having two little ones on your hands is a lot of hard work, and what makes it even more difficult is that Sinéad's hubby Conor lives abroad in Brussels for work.

Speaking previously to RSVP magazine, the Today Show presenter admitted she had been on the go since she landed in Cork after moving back to Ireland permanently in September 2024.

Sinéad said her first week back in Ireland was a 'baptism of fire' as she, her daughter Indie and son Theo all had places to be and people to see.

Though, she admits she brought that on herself as she could've returned from Brussels a week earlier but wanted to 'maximise' the time the four family members spent together.

Sinéad noted that Conor flies home from Brussels to her and their kids every weekend, and that she and the kids were over to Belgium more during her time off-screen.

She said: 'Conor is, you know, very much in Brussels. I would have been flying an awful lot when pregnant with Theo, but now he’s doing the lion’s share of the flying as I have the two kids and it is not as easy to jump on a plane.'

'I don’t know how he does it,' Sinéad praised her husband. 'I’d say it is really difficult to be away from your kids and to be away from family.'

'But then the other side of it, he immerses himself in work. He also makes sure he has time for himself, and rightly so, and that’s what I want for him.'

It hasn't been 'the most straightforward road' for Sinéad and Conor, but she sweetly noted that she, Conor, Indie, and Theo make the most of their weekends together when he's back in Ireland. Aw!
