Brian and one-time Olympic hopeful Danielle went public with their relationship in late 2016 after being introduced through a mutual friend. 

It will be the singer’s third marriage following his previous unions with former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona, 39, and TV personality Vogue Williams, 34. 

Brian’s followers were quick to congratulate him on the good news, including Piers Morgan and Ola Jordan. 

The singer first confirmed his relationship with Danielle in November 2016, following his split from ex-wife Vogue in July 2015.

The pair were introduced through their mutual friend, fellow singer Cole Paige, and  it was claimed that sparks flew instantly. 

In March 2017, Brian announced he had relocated from Ireland to Danielle’s hometown of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, as the couple’s relationship got more serious.

He told the Manchester Evening News: ‘We met in Manchester through mutual friends and at the moment it’s my first home. I’m in Rochdale all the time now.

‘It’s perfect for me because I’m a Manchester United supporter and I enjoy playing golf in Manchester. It isn’t my first time in Manchester but I had never been to Rochdale before.’

Admitting things were getting serious, Brian confessed: ‘It’s very serious. She’s my best mate and she makes me feel very mature.’ 

Brian raises two daughters, Molly, 18, and Lilly Sue, 16, with first wife Kerry.

The pair wed in 2002 following a fairytale romance only to split two years later, before their divorce was finalised in 2006.

Molly lives in Ireland with her dad and both girls appear to have a very close relationship with Danielle. 

Brian then wed Irish beauty Vogue in Florence back in 2012, but they split three years later.

The singer previously confessed he was no longer in touch with Vogue, who has since moved on with husband Spencer Matthews, the father of her son Theodore, 18 months. 

‘It’s very difficult to remain friends unless you’ve got children. I think it’s pointless as it’s going to get in the way of you having a future with other people’, he told Closer magazine.

However, he said he wishes Vogue nothing but the best for the future, adding: ‘I am delighted for her and I hope she has a lovely family. [Spencer] is a great guy’.

Brian confessed he found it most difficult to get over no longer seeing Vogue’s pet dog Winston as the pooch was his ‘best friend’.
