Rachel Gorry on how she met new boyfriend Adrien and introducing him to her girls
One of the most nerve-wracking parts of starting a new relationship is introducing them to your family. However the anxiety is tripled when it comes to introducing a new boyfriend to your three daughters.
Rachel Gorry is no different and she says while she was incredibly nervous to introduce boyfriend to her girls, Leah, 14, Holly, 10, and Hannah, eight, it paled in comparison to Adrien’s stress.

Rachel told RSVP Magazine: "Oh, my God, it was so nerve-wracking. I waited a long time to introduce them, it’s just such a big deal and I was really nervous. Now, to be fair, I wasn’t as nervous as Adrien was, he was so nervous.
“When he asked me on a date I did say it to Leah. I felt like she was old enough and I asked her, ‘How do you feel about me going on a date?’, because if she wasn’t happy, I wouldn’t have went. She was so supportive.
“The two smallest, they’re so funny because they were mad for me to have a boyfriend, because their friend’s mammy had one [laughs]. Kids are just so gas like that. So I knew they’d be fine, but I was still nervous because you just want it to go well and you want them to like each other. But it actually couldn’t have went better. Seeing them with each other, it’s just so heartwarming and lovely”.
Opening up about how she met Adrien, Rachel shared that while she knew him from her local area, it was a chance encounter on a night out that brought them together.
“Adrien is actually an Offaly man too, we’re from the same area. We knew of each other, but we didn’t run in the same circles. I saw him out one night and we just got chatting and I actually really enjoyed his company, we got on so well.
“I thought, ‘God he’s such a nice person’ and then after a few months, he finally plucked up the courage to ask me out on a date and I suppose the rest is history”.
