Westlife's Kian Egan and Hollyoaks' Jodi Albert celebrate 17 years of marriage with oysters, Hermès gifts and champagne on swanky French jaunt

Kian Egan and Jodi Albert celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary with a romantic trip to the sun-soaked 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 loved-up than ever as they dined on oysters and sipped champagne.

Jodi took to Instagram with a slew of snaps as she enjoyed quality time with Kian before he returned 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 alfresco.

Ever the romantic, Kian treated Jodie to a gift from Hermès before stopping by 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'.

Their new album 25 - The Ultimate Collection marks a celebration of their 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 woes. 

To mark the release, the group have also 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'.

The trio said: 'What better way to mark 25 years of Westlife than with an album that brings together our biggest hits alongside new music we're so proud of. We're beyond excited to head out on a global tour and celebrate these songs with the fans who've made it all possible.' 

Westlife have also released new single Your Love Amazes Me, which harks back to their classic ballad style.

Speaking about the neck track the group 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.
