KIAN Egan has said "we are so grateful for you" after he shared an emotional birthday tribute to his wife. The Westlife singer has been married to Hollyoaks actress Jodi Albert since 2009 and they have three kids together - Koa, Zeke and Cobi. Taking to Instagram today, Kian posted some adorable snaps of himself, Jodi and their kids out celebrating her 41st birthday.

The Sligo star couldn't help but gush over his partner as he wrote in his caption: "We love you so much and we are so grateful for you being the amazing person you are. "Happy birthday my love. My everything.

" The 44-year-old joked that he was "sorry" for posting his birthday message a day late and added: "I was too busy having fun with you." The dad-of-three and Jodi looked happier than ever in the pictures as they posed on a stunning boat with their three kids. The family all cuddled up together as they beamed for the camera with a glorious sea view in the background.

In another picture, Kian and Jodi shared a sweet kiss while they clinked their glasses of champagne together. Kian looked casual in a simple beige t-shirt and black shorts, while Jodi opted for a brown swimsuit and cute floral shirt. The Irish musician also captured a snap of Jodi sitting on the side of the boat with her hands in the air making a peace sign.

A magnificent island could be seen in the background with palm trees and bright green colours. Jodi left a sweet comment underneath the post saying: "It was just the most perfect day ..
