Although we were aware that Ryan Tubridy was present at the Irish Post Awards in London and even took the stage to present an award, it was unexpected to witness the addition of his speculated significant other, Dr. Clare Kambamettu.
Rumours about a romantic connection between the former Rose of Tralee and the ex-host of the Late Late Show had circulated for a while.
However, their recent public appearance appears to solidify and confirm their relationship to the public eye.

Affirming the ongoing romance, he shared with The Irish Sun: “Yes, Clare and I are seeing each other. She has brought an awful lot of joy into my life and happiness and support.
"I don’t want to talk too much about her, because my private life has always stayed private.
“But I think anyone who has met or knows Clare will know exactly why we are seeing each other. I feel very lucky.”
Asked if the clinical psychologist had been a major support during the last six months. He replied: “Remarkably so.”
The happy news comes after Ryan revealed he will be starting a new job with Virgin Radio in the UK in January.
Although it's uncertain whether they had encountered each other prior to this event, Dr. Kambamettu made an appearance on The Ryan Tubridy Show in March 2023, where she talked about the advantages of manifestation.
There were several sightings of her accompanying Ryan on various occasions, and the Irish Daily Mail reporting an instance of Dr. Kambamettu leaving the security gates of his residence.
Who is is Dr. Clare Kambamettu?
Dr. Kambamettu is a highly educated individual who obtained a BA in Psychology and History, as well as an HDip from NUI Galway, now recognised as the University of Galway.
Following this, she pursued an MSc in Mental Health with a focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Dr. Kambamettu is actively involved in providing training on Mental Health topics for The Learning Curve Institute.
At the age of 25, she participated in the 2010 Rose of Tralee representing London and emerged as the overall winner.
Ryan had previously hosted the competition and had even dated another Rose, Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, who won in 2005.
However, he had stepped aside by the time Clare claimed the title as the London Rose.
Originally from Leeds, Dr. Kambamettu relocated to Ireland at the age of eight, and her family is currently based in Athy, Co Kildare.
