During a recent candid interview, The Saturdays singer, Una Foden, explained that the upcoming rugby World Cup means she may have a divided home on her hands.
Co. Tipperary-native, Una, who tied the knot with British-born rugby star, Ben Foden in 2012 after a four-year courtship, admits the couple's loyalty to their own country may result in some good-natured spats, saying: "Oh God there will be fights in the house when it comes to the World Cup."
With both Una and Ben determined their two children will support their own respective countries, the 33-year-old mum-of-two accepts the decision will come down to whoever is on wardrobe duty that day.
"If Ireland play England I don’t know what will happen – it will come down to who dresses them I suppose. I will be putting the two Irish jerseys on them in the morning but I can just see him sneaking in and changing them," she joked.
With sport playing such an incredibly important part in the Healy/ Foden family life, it's perhaps no surprise to learn that three-year-old Aoife Belle and seven-month-old Tadhg are prepared for every eventuality.
Elaborating on this, Una, who often shares milestone family moments with her legions of fans and followers on Instagram, reveals: "We actually have two little Irish jerseys for them and two little English jerseys so if they meet in the competition there will be war."
Like most mums, Una accepts a little give and take is needed in such a situation and has already earmarked one child to support her native Ireland.
"I suppose we’ll have to compromise – Ben will take Tadhg for England and I will have Aoife Belle in the Irish jersey," she explains.
Sounds like they have it all wrapped up to us!
