At the end of May, Breen shared the first snap of partner Sharlene Mawdsley after the pair went "Instagram official" following the Waterford match in Thurles in the Munster Championship. 

The Tipperary senior hurler posted to his stories that their dog "Lola's favourite is back (For one full day)".

It's been a tough time for Sharlene of late following the sad passing of her father, Thomas "Tucker" Mawdsley. 

The Newport native went "Instagram official" with Tipperary hurler Michael Breen earlier this year.

The 26-year-old did so by posting a picture of them on the pitch after the Premier County's Munster Championship win over Waterford. 

The Tipperary Olympian and sprinter posted a picture with the Tipperary senior hurler from Ballina that sent social media into a frenzy.
