Davy Fitzgerald has opened up on his decision to marry long-time girlfriend Sharon O’Loughlin.
The Wexford hurling manager tied the knot with his girlfriend of 13 years in a ceremony earlier this month.
He claims that Sharon understands the huge commitments his work puts on his life, saying that she "grew up with a hurl in her hand".
And the hugely popular coach delighted Wexford fans by recently agreeing to extend his contract by two years.
However Clare man Davy said it was not an easy decision to make, for a number of reasons.
He told the Sunday Independent: "There was a few strands to it. Myself and another family member have been dealing with some health issues.
"I can't share anything more about that just yet. I found it extremely hard. My health now… it's okay. I feel good, you know."
Davy also opened up on his other role working on RTE's hit series Ireland's Fittest Family.
He added: "The standard of fitness has definitely gone up, families are working harder on it.
"I want training to be a happy place.
"I think I've evolved and learned a lot. There will always be one or two that are a bit less fit, but we help them along."
