Inside Leo Varadkar's private life with partner Matt Barrett

Leo Varadkar and partner Matt Barrett have been together since 2015, and the couple are currently living in a beautiful Dublin home just off the South Circular Road.

Leo and Matt have shared several photos inside their home, often enjoying dinner together in their spacious kitchen/dining room. Cardiologist Matt reportedly bought the three bed house for €20,000 over the asking price - which was €800,000.

The Tanaiste often gives Instagram followers a sneak peak into his personal life with Matt, sharing photos of weekends away and date nights out in Dublin. The pair enjoy dinners in top Dublin restaurants, takeaways with a glass of red wine, and going for runs together in the park.
