CAOIMHIN KELLEHER has announced his engagement to girlfriend Eimear on Instagram.
The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper shared an adorable pic to his page of him down on one knee popping the question.
In 2022, the Corkman opened up on his relationship with the accomplished Irish dancer.
The Ireland keeper has posted about his girlfriend on Instagram and even says she helped him learn how to Irish dance.
Both Kelleher and Murphy have been together after he courted her for years.
He told LFC.com website: “My girlfriend is very good at Irish dancing, so I’ve been trying to learn a bit of that.
“I used to do it at school back home, so I’ve been trying to pick it up because I want to learn it again.
“I’ve actually been getting on quite good at it, so one day I want to be able to do a full dance or something like that.
“You have to have your feet in great coordination and be able to move them so quickly, so it definitely helps in terms of goalkeeping. It does me no harm.
“I won’t be showing it to anybody!”
Their engagement adds a personal landmark to one what has already been a breakthrough summer on the professional front for the footballer.
The 26-year-old finally sealed a move away from Liverpool by joining Brentford in a deal worth up to £20 million.
While manager Thomas Frank subsequently left the Bees to sign for Tottenham Hotspur, Kelleher is set to become their No1 nonetheless.
This has also reaffirmed his position as Ireland’s starting goalkeeper, having grabbed the position amid Gavin Bazunu’s injury problems.
He will also team up with international teammate Nathan Collins, but it was his international aspirations that motivated his decision.
He told RTE: “I think I’ve played well for Ireland. I think I’ve done well enough to keep the No. 1 position.
“I need to do well to keep it, but no doubt playing week in week out will help my cause for sure.
“It (the transfer) has been a long time coming. Definitely really happy to get it over the line and get it done and loling forward to getting going.”
Kelleher has played all nine games of Heimir Hallgrímsson’s games in charge to date having nailed down the No. 1 spot while Southampton’s Gavin Bazunu has been out injured.
Bazunu, who returned to the squad in March but misses out this week through injury, should be back challenging next season.
But Cork man Kelleher continues to produce performances that will make him difficult to dislodge as he pulled off some big saves as Ireland drew 1-1 with Senegal.
