Virgin Media's Zara King shares rare photo of husband Cian as they step out to accept award

Zara King has shared a rare snap of her husband Cian as they stepped out this week.

The Virgin Media news correspondent tied the knot with Cian earlier this year, but she usually keeps photos of him and details of their relationship private.

However, they stepped out together as Zara accepted the Distinguished Graduate Award for Journalism in Griffith College.

Sharing some snaps of the special day on her Instagram, Zara posted a photo of them both cosied up together alongside their dog, Darcy.

She also shared some sweet photos of her and the rest of her family, including her 91-year-old grandad. She wrote: "Honoured to accept the @griffithcollege Distinguished Graduate Award for Journalism today.

"Such a privilege to share this moment with my husband and family, especially my 91 year old Grandad [heart emoji].

"Shoutout to Darcy for being the best girl."

The comments were flooded with kind messages of congratulations, with one person saying: "Smashing Zara! I'm also low key obsessed with your mum. The style!"

"Congratulations Zara. Beautiful Family pics. Darcy looks fabulous too. Well done," another wrote.

A third gushed: "Huge Congrats. Enjoy the celebrations."

Zara, who also hosts a popular podcast called The Groupchat alongside fellow Virgin Media news correspondents Gavan Reilly and Richard Chambers, tied the knot with her long-term partner on Friday, 5th of July in a beautiful West Cork ceremony.

Zara and Cian looked amazing on the day, with Zara sharing the first public picture of her husband as they walked down the aisle. Soon after the special day, she posted on her Instagram stories revealing that the tiara she wore in her hair on her own wedding day was the same one her mother and godmother wore.

She posted a gorgeous photo of her parents on their wedding day, wishing them a happy wedding anniversary. The pair tied the knot on the 15th of August in 1987.

Zara followed up the post to say she wore the same tiara on her big day. "All the women in our family have worn it. Grandad brought it back in the 70s for my godmother."
