Amy Huberman has shared the intimate details about the moment she first 'shifted' her future husband Brian O’Driscoll.
The actress, 43, married the former Ireland rugby captain in 2010 but she has revealed where she they first locked lips - in a popular Dublin nightclub.
Speaking to Doireann Garrihy on the Laughs of your Life podcast, Amy said she met Brian in 2005 and they started texting which led to a kiss at the bar in Cafe en Seine.
"So at what point then did you meet Brian?" Doireann asked.
"We met in.... I think I was 26 when I met him," said Amy. "I first shifted him downstairs [in Cafe en Seine]."
"Stop! What?" said Doireann. "Was it dancefloor or was it bar?"
"It was bar. You know when you're just too giddy. I'd had way too much," said Amy.
"And you know when it's been in the air for a few... there's been loads of texting and it was just.... whoooom."
The high-profile couple went on to have three children together, Sadie, Billy and Ted, and Amy opened up on the podcast about welcoming her third baby during lockdown compared to having her first two in 2013 and 2014.
“Ted has been a joy because I was so happy to have a third and I wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen, so it was a really lovely time where things slowed down and I wasn’t scared because I had two babies before," she said.
“I think anyone who had their first in lockdown makes me want to weep for them and maybe that’s because I just found becoming a mum just so seismic and I was so all over the place afterwards.
"Then I had my second son so close to my daughter so I just feel like it was a rolling three years of I don’t know… I just found everything hard to get a grasp on my life with kids and as well because I had no routine in my acting life. It was so chaotic.”

The Finding Joy star also spoke about a 'rollercoaster' of emotions when she was picked and dropped from a pilot show in the US in the space of eight hours.
She said she nearly vomited in the show when her manager called her to tell her she was going to be moving to LA.
“I got into the shower and I nearly vomited… but by the time I was going home, I was like pack the bag, Brian was like ‘brilliant, it’s great, let’s do it, we’ll figure it out’. And then I was in the car on the way home, they said ‘you’ve been replaced.’
“It felt like 40 seconds later. It is such a rollercoaster. That happens morning, noon and night… you can get fired at table reads..
“It wasn’t great at the time because I just felt so vulnerable and exposing. And it’s very public.”
