For Louise, it has always been about entertainment and over the years she has presented many shows on radio and TV and in recent times she took over Ronan Collins’s spot on RTÉ radio.
For the low-key high-profile couple, life is a balancing act with their hectic careers but she says they still manage to fairly split their parenting duties.
She says Paul is great for helping their daughters build their self-confidence while she picks up more of the mental load and keeps on top of social obligations.

Her role meanwhile often involves organising ‘birthday parties, play dates’ she explained, adding ‘it’s very well divided up.’

Fashion is his domain. He’ll sometimes send me songs to put on air, but that’s about as involved as he gets in my work.’
She said ‘We know the flexibility and the hustle required to succeed. There’s always an ambiguity around the industries of fashion and media. It’s what drives you, but it’s also something that not everyone understands or appreciates.’
