Robyn, who is originally from Kildare had previously helped her mum Louise Flanagan, who co-owns Kalu Boutique in Naas, with the store’s website. A dedicated flower of fashion, she also frequently posts pictures of herself with Joey to her 19k followers.
Joey popped the question while on a romantic trip to New York back in 2021 where he got down on one knee while strolling through Central Park.
The New Zealand native took to Instagram to share a selfie with his wife-to-be at the time, captioning the post: “23-11-2021 ”
Robyn was later seen holding her hand to the camera with an oval diamond and gold band ring on her finger.
She also shared the news on her Instagram calling herself: “The happiest girl in the world”.
The couple have since shared glimpses into plans for their wedding, revealing in February that they had decided on a location.
Robyn shared a snap of Joey standing in a courtyard with a white building behind him and a blue sky overhead.
Although they didn’t give away the exact location, it did appear to be abroad.
"!PHEW! He liked our venue. The countdown is officially on xx,” Robyn wrote.
Meanwhile, fellow Munster player Conor Murray is also preparing to say I Do over the summer, with his fiancée Joanna Cooper, while Leinster’s Dave Kearney is also set to tie the knot with his bride-to-be Becca Mehighan.
