The couple confirmed their relationship earlier this year and moved in together in September – they stepped out together for the glamorous GAA/GPA PwC All-Star Awards 2025 last night
Tipperary star Michael Breen and his girlfriend, Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley, stepped out together for the GAA All-Stars last night.
Sharlene stunned in a beautiful black dress with sequin detailing and a slit up on leg, while Michael kept things classic in a black tuxedo.
Sharlene took to Instagram to share some snaps of the night, and the comments were flooded with kind messages.
“Looking sensational as always,” wrote one follower.
Another said: “Looking like a movie star!”
“Sharlene ohhh myyy god wow wow wow,” a third gushed.
The news of the couple’s romance was confirmed following Tipperary’s 1-30 to 1-21 victory over Waterford in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship in June.
Sharing a lovely picture of them together in Semple Stadium in Thurles, Sharlene wrote: “Tippin’ on.”
Michael also commented on their first public picture together, which he wasn’t tagged in, and poked fun at his girlfriend, writing: “Any tag nah?” The GAA star also shared the post to his Instagram story and joked: “This fan was following me around all day.”
Since then, they have moved into together but speaking last night, Michael said the pair have been “ships in the night” due to their busy schedules.
“We haven’t been there that much really because work and training, and we were on holiday and going on holiday again on Sunday with the team, but we are looking forward to a quiet December today and the festivities,” he told EVOKE.
However, Sharlene did joke that Michael runs a tight ship.
“We have a whiteboard to structure everything,” she said. “We’re very organised. That comes from Mickey being a teacher; it definitely doesn’t come from me. I am chaotic, and he’s so organised, so I think having that whiteboard has helped us enough!”
Kerry and Tipperary were the big winners in last night’s GAA All-Stars, as Kerry won eight awards while Tipperary scooped seven.
David Clifford made history as the first player to hold the coveted title three times (2022, 2023).
He stepped out at the event alongside his long-term partner Shauna O’Connor, with whom he shares a four-year-old son named Ógie.
The beaten All-Ireland finalists Donegal claimed four awards with a player each from Meath, Armagh and Louth completing the line-up.
Tipperary forward John McGrath was named Hurler of the Year, while the young player of the year awards went to Donegal’s Finnbarr Roarty in football and Tipperary’s Darragh McCarthy in hurling.
