Westlife star Kian Egan is planning a special tribute to honor his cousin and fellow bandmate Shane Filan and Shane’s wife, Gillian Walsh, as the beloved couple prepares to celebrate 22 years of marriage. The occasion marks more than two decades since Shane and Gillian exchanged vows on December 28, 2003—a date that remains deeply cherished within the Westlife family.
To commemorate their enduring love story, Kian will be sponsoring a meaningful celebration on their anniversary this December 28. The couple, who continue to share a strong and admired bond, are expected to return to the same venue where they originally tied the knot, adding a sentimental layer to the upcoming festivities.
The anniversary celebration isn’t just a nod to their personal milestone, but also a reflection of the tight-knit relationships that have always grounded Westlife. Kian’s gesture underscores the mutual respect and affection the bandmates share off-stage, particularly as Shane and Gillian’s relationship has stood the test of time.
The couple’s love story has long been admired by fans, many of whom have followed their journey since the early 2000s. Their continued commitment to each other has made them a beloved pair in both the public eye and within their close circle.
This 22nd anniversary celebration is expected to be intimate, heartfelt, and filled with lasting memories—an echo of the day they first said “I do.” With Kian taking an active role in the preparations, it promises to be a beautiful tribute to a couple who have remained strong through life’s many highs and lows.
