Boyzone or BoyzLife star (whichever you prefer) Keith Duffy and his wife Lisa are firmly back on steady ground after chatter did the rounds that they'd split.
After months of rumours that they had reconciled, they're now stronger than ever, with Keith setting the record straight in September.
So, how did the seemingly inseparable pair first meet?
Nightclub encounter
The couple met as Boyzone were just starting to take off with the release of their debut single Working My Way Back To You in 1994, before they released Love Me For a Reason, which went to No 2 in the UK chart a few months later.
Lisa and Keith were on a night out in one of Dublin's legendary clubs The Pod when their eyes met for the first time in 1995.
Keith said he was instantly smitten, but despite the fact that he was in an up-and-coming band, his confidence wasn't great and he ended up chasing her rather than the other way around.
In the past, he said: 'Growing up... People assumed because I was a good-looking kid that I had that confidence to go with it, but really, I got attention off girls, but guys gave me a hard time.'
The No Matter What singer said he had fancied Lisa for a long time before they got together, saying: 'She gave me the right run around.'
Baby news after nine months
It was a good thing that Keith was so mad about Lisa from early doors as she found out she was pregnant just nine months after they met with son Jay, now 29.
'I made a conscious decision and effort to be Jay's dad and whatever happened, I'd made my bed, I was going to lie in it, and it was a lucky bonus that I loved Lisa and fancied her,' he said.
Three-day engagement and Las Vegas wedding
Keith and Lisa ended up getting married in Las Vegas in 1998 with his bandmate Ronan Keating acting as the best man.
Again, for the couple, things were a bit of a whirlwind, as Keith had only proposed three days before they tied the knot!
He admitted that their relationship wasn't always smooth sailing, but he and Lisa always worked hard on their marriage, particularly for the sake of their two kids, Jay and Mia.
In the past, Keith gave his advice for a marriage that seemed to have stood the test of time.
'Number one, you have to want it to work. Number two, it takes a lot of compromise. Number three, it takes forgiveness. Some people can't make it work, though. I'd never judge, but I do think sometimes people give up too easily. It's easy to walk away. It's harder to stay,' he said.
'Marriage split' and rekindling their love
Before they unfollowed each other on social media, Lisa and Keith paid tribute to each other and proclaimed their unending love as they enjoyed a holiday to mark their special wedding anniversary last summer.
Keith even thanked stylist Sinead Keary for making 'Smithy', as he calls her, look so sexy. Lisa on the other hand, said 'Celebrating 25 years married to my bestie, longest time ever I've had him home all to myself!
'Love him even more, thanks for the laughs and the joy of being loved, feeling very blessed, still going strong.'
When news of the split broke, the couple had unfollowed each other on social media but the Boyzone star has since refollowed his estranged wife on Instagram.
The singer reportedly moved out of their €1.3million home just before Christmas 2023 and was said to be 'in bits' over the separation.
Keith and Lisa then went on to be spotted together on multiple occasions following the news of their split broke.
While they remained tight-lipped on their marriage breakdown, Lisa showed her admiration for the singer on Father's Day in 2024, when she shared an appreciation post in honour of Keith.
They also seemed to be as loved up as ever when they went to a romantic Coldplay gig together in August. The couple was joined by their adult children, Jay and Mia, as well as Jay's girlfriend Lucy Tallon on the first night of the band's four sold-out gigs at Dublin's Croke Park.
Lisa also joined her kids to support Keith's latest music venture with his bandmate Brian McFadden, a Boyzlife tour.
Lisa was also by Keith's side as he announced the return of his foundation's Christmas ball in December on World Autism Awareness Day.
'It's going to be a night to remember, all for a cause that means the world to me. Thanks for the love and support. I can't wait to see you there,' he said in June 2025.
Setting the record straight
In September 2025, Keith told The Sun he and Lisa were stronger than ever.
'Myself and Lisa are absolutely fantastic. Whatever we went through, we never spoke about it to anybody else,' he said. 'It was somebody close to us who told the papers we weren’t together.
Keith added: 'Like any relationship, a marriage, like anything, people fall in and fall out. When you have a great foundation of love and friendship and support, it’s much easier to build back up again, and thankfully, we celebrated 31 years together this month.'
Celebrating the milestones
Keith celebrated Lisa's birthday in July 2025, penning her a gushing tribute that shows just how much he loves her.
'Wishing Momma Duffy @lisaduffy14 a very happy Birthday,' Keith said. 'I'm so sorry I can’t be home with you today darling, but I’m sure our babies @miad20002023 and @jayduffy will spoil you rotten till I get home. lover friend soulmate.'
It appears that Lisa and Keith are well and truly back, and we couldn't be more thrilled!
