The Cork senior football goalkeeper, a senior manager at PwC, has previously attracted attention for his good looks.

Referred to as “Micheál’s hot son”, his dad revealed how his eldest was on the receiving end of “an awful slagging from his teammates at the time”.

People had been tweeting about his son, with one comment reading: “I’m not a fan of Micheál Martin BUT did anyone else see his son on the news there??? MASSIVE fan of him, jayyysus?

However, Mr Martin was quick to defend his son, saying he wouldn’t get carried away by the compliments, thanks to the people of Cork who, “if you have notions, they’ll take you down to size”.

It has been reported that Micheál Jnr and Maryclaire who now works as a brand manager for Musgrave met at University College Cork, where both of them had been studying commerce.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is reportedly delighted with the news and in a statement said he “wishes them a lifetime of happiness and the very best for the future”.

As a two-time Munster Championship winner with Nemo Rangers, Martin is well accustomed to having his father attend as a keen observer from the stands when the Rebels are in action.

However, Micheál Aodh told the Irish Sun: “We probably have a mutual thing there.

"I won’t scrutinise his performance if he doesn’t scrutinise mine. We’ve probably both learned over the years that it doesn’t work otherwise.”

He said: “He’d go to all the hurling as well. He genuinely loves it.

"If you check who Nemo were playing in the junior league, and my brother plays with our junior team, he’d be a good attendee at their Division 7 league games as well. That’d be his break really.”
