We decided to keep it private so far. We went through many challenges and difficulties this year, ‘said McEnroe, before Niamh revealed that they had lost their first child.
‘Niamh was pregnant with the fall but lost the baby at the end of her first trimester. It was devastating but in the end, it makes us closer and stronger. And our connection is better than ever, ‘he said.
McEnroe also posted the news on his Instagram, saying, ‘I can’t think of a better way to start 2021 than to share with you all that Niamh and I are officially Mr. and Mrs. Mr. McEnroe. ‘

Niamh had moved into Sean’s home in Los Angeles back in early 2019, which McEnroe revealed when he had it, ‘one of the worst breaks of my life. ‘
‘I don’t remember what exactly put me off, but it was something to do with my family and trauma from my childhood. This was one of the most challenging emotional experiences I have ever had. I remember taking a large crystal and throwing it as hard as I could through painting, which also went through the wall, leaving a big hole, ‘McEnroe said.
He also revealed that he tore a ficus plant as well as the roots, when Niamh found him, ‘first facing’ in soil on the mat, ‘crying and screaming. ‘

She began quietly and quietly putting the plant back together. She picked up all the broken leaves and stems and swept all the ground and put it back in the pot, ‘he said.
After she finished, she went over to him and rubbed her back and started ‘talking quietly,’ which made him release my cleansing grip on one of the stems. ‘
He said the same ficus plant is still in their bedroom to this day, and it is now, ‘three times bigger than it was then.’
‘I was 100% sure I had destroyed the plant at the time. Even as it happened, I hated it for doing it and being polite that way. But I was consumed with such anger and self-loathing in the moment that it didn’t matter, ‘he said.
Calmly: ‘She slowly and quietly began to put the plant back together. She picked up all the broken leaves and stems and swept all the ground and put it back in the pot, ‘he said.
McEnroe said he thought it was’ useless’ that she was trying to save the plant, but when the plant was fully nurtured to health, he said, ‘I knew then that I would not doubt be on her again. ‘
Niamh gave me a foundation for faith and hope, through her strong example, a rooted foundation that I was nowhere near at the time. Everything I have now, I owe her. I love you, Niamh McEnroe. You are my true love, my foundation, and the source of my inspiration all in one. I will love you all my life, you and anyone else, ‘he concluded.
The wedding took place just days after his reunification with family, including his mother Tatum O’Neal and grandfather Ryan O’Neal, whom he said were the first time they had been together since 30 years since Paper Moon in 2003.
