Derry Girls star dating Glasgow DJ in surprise famous relationship

Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson is dating a Glasgow DJ, with fans left stunned by their surprise famous relationship.

The 28-year-old Northern Irish actress, best known for her role as the loudmouthed schoolgirl in the Channel 4 comedy series, has had the spotlight turned onto her love life, after her fans rumbled her under-the-radar romance.

Saoirse is dating DJ Denis Sulta, and the couple went public with their relationship in September last year, going Instagram official with their loved-up status.

Some devoted Derry Girls’ fans had no idea who she was dating, and were left shocked by their under wraps dating history.

“There are some random celebrity couples out there but Denis Sulta and Erin from Derry Girls takes the cake,” the viral tweet read, prompting plenty of confused replies from Saoirse’s fans.

“My head is gone. Why did I not know this,” one replied, as another added: “Wait what??”

“How did I not know this?? Wtf,” one baffled fan asked.

“Hahahahahah why did I never know this,” another tweeted, while one agreed: “Hahahah what in the world.”

“nahhh that’s mad,” one of her followers replied.

“How did I miss that one?” another added.

Denis – real name Hector Barbour – has been dubbed a “prodigal producer” by industry critics, and recently joined BBC Radio 1’s Residency show alongside Jayda G, HAAi, and Charlotte de Witte.

Saoirse and Denis made their love public with a sweet picture shared on social media back in September, and the actress was left red-faced as many thought the snap was an engagement picture, because Denis was on one knee.

“DISCLAIMER – NOOOOO…. This is not an engagement photo people He just had a long day on his feet,” she added in the comments.

The couple later jetted off to the exclusive Tulum México Ruinas Mayas to celebrate ringing in the New Year, indulging in cocktails and glorious sunsets on the romantic trip.

“Hunky New Year,” she cheekily captioned on picture of Denis sat topless in the sea.
