Danny O'Donoghue proposes to Anais Niang in Norway

Danny O'Donoghue, the lead singer of The Script, has announced his engagement to Anais, whom he met during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposal took place at the picturesque Seven Sisters waterfall, where O'Donoghue expressed the effort he put into the moment, carrying champagne and food without Anais's knowledge. Reflecting on their relationship, he stated, "When you know, you know," emphasizing his certainty about their connection. Anais, a French events manager, has been a significant part of O'Donoghue's life since he publicly acknowledged their romance in 2021. The couple resides in the same area of London and has primarily enjoyed quiet time together at home. O'Donoghue's personal life has been intertwined with his professional journey, especially following the recent loss of his bandmate Mark Sheehan. The Script is currently navigating the emotional aftermath of Sheehan's passing, who died after a brief illness, leaving behind a £9.4 million fortune for his family. O'Donoghue has expressed his commitment to supporting Sheehan's wife and children, highlighting the deep bond they shared as friends and bandmates since childhood. Despite the tragedy, O'Donoghue believes Sheehan would have appreciated their new album, particularly a song titled "Satellites," which Sheehan had heard and loved. The band continues to honor his memory while moving forward with their music.
