Kian Egan and Jodi Albert celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary with a romantic getaway to the sun-drenched French Riviera on Friday. The Westlife singer, 46, and Hollyoaks actress, 42, who are parents to sons Zekey, 11, and eight-year-old Cobi, looked more in love than ever as they dined on oysters and sipped champagne.
A Romantic Escape
Jodi took to Instagram with a series of snapshots capturing their quality time together before Kian returns to work with the release of Westlife's landmark 25th anniversary album and world tour, which kicks off in Dublin later this year. The couple cut stylish figures as they explored the picturesque Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, taking in the sights and dining al fresco.
Ever the romantic, Kian treated Jodi to a gift from Hermes before stopping at a flower stall to pick up some gorgeous blooms. She captioned the post: "17 years, 23 together. In love since summer 1999," to which her husband replied: "I am the luckiest man alive @jodialbert I love you more now than ever. Happy anniversary xx."
Westlife's 25th Anniversary
Their new album, 25 - The Ultimate Collection, marks a celebration of 25 years in the industry. Kian, Shane Filan, and Nicky Byrne are back on stage and in the charts without bandmate Mark Feehily, who is currently taking a hiatus from the group due to health issues. To mark the release, the group has announced the global expansion of their tour: "The Anniversary World Tour with dates across Asia, Mexico, Scandinavia, Australia, and New Zealand. The tour promises a euphoric, hit-filled set spanning their extraordinary career, featuring timeless ballads and global chart-toppers."
It kicks off with a 13-date residency in Dublin this September before heading across the UK and Europe, marking their first headline continental run in two decades. On-sale timings for new dates can be found on westlife.com/live/, with further international shows to be announced soon.
New Single and Album Details
Westlife has also released a new single, Your Love Amazes Me, which harks back to their classic ballad style. Speaking about the track, the trio said: "It's wonderful to return to the type of song that many of our fans will remember from our earliest days – it's a heartfelt ballad with a beautiful story." Mark announced in 2024 he would be stepping back from the group indefinitely due to unspecified health woes, and while he will not appear on the tour, he is still featured on the tracks for the new album, including Your Love Amazes Me.
Tour Dates
The tour includes extensive dates across the UK, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. Highlights include multiple nights at Dublin's 3Arena, London's The O2, and Manchester's Co-op Live, as well as shows in Paris, Hamburg, Singapore, and Sydney.
