Who is Seamus’ wife?Seamus is married to his childhood sweetheart Rachel Cunningham. The couple met while they were students at St Catherines Vocational School in Killybegs
Opening up about their long-term romance, Seamus said at the launch of SPAR's Better Choices campaign in 2022: “We went to the same secondary school, we were 15 or 16. I was a year above her and was aware of her for a while of course. How we ended up chatting and meeting, it was just like you do back in the day, you get a phone number and you text but I actually rang her.”
He added: “It was quite brave going all in with the phone call but that night we chatted for hours, it must have been about 4am. From there on in it was phone calls until late at night and seeing each other the next day at school and thankfully that carried on. Now we’re three kids later and happily married, all is going well.”
When did Seamus and Rachel get married?Seamus and Rachel got married after 11 years of dating. They tied the knot in June 2015 surrounded by 280 of their family and friends at the St Mary the Visitation church in Killybegs.
