Eric Roberts Plans to Spoil Wife Niamh After DWTS Finale
Ireland AM star Eric Roberts is looking forward to showing his appreciation for his wife, Niamh Roberts, following the conclusion of his run on Dancing with the Stars. Roberts plans to treat Niamh to a “very expensive” holiday as a thank you for her unwavering support throughout the competition and for managing their 14-month-old son, Rian, during his demanding rehearsal schedule.
A Challenging Season for Niamh
Roberts emphasized that his participation in the show was significantly easier than his wife’s experience at home. “It’s been a much bigger challenge for her than it has been for me,” he stated in an interview with RollerCoaster. While he enjoyed the fun and camaraderie of rehearsals, Niamh was responsible for their son seven days a week, with assistance from family and friends.
Gratitude and Admiration
Roberts expressed deep gratitude for Niamh’s dedication, acknowledging that he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the experience without her support. “She’s had aid from family and friends… but it’s a really, really tough job,” he said. He recognizes the sacrifices she made to allow him to pursue his passion on the show.
Facing the Finale
As the finale approaches this Sunday, Eric Roberts and his professional dance partner, Arianna Favaro, are competing against Paudie Moloney, Tolu Makay, and Katelyn Cummins for the Glitterball trophy. Regardless of the outcome, Roberts is committed to prioritizing time with his family and spoiling Niamh with a well-deserved vacation.
Niamh’s Support Throughout the Competition
Eric Roberts has previously acknowledged the significant role Niamh plays in his life, even joking that her enthusiastic support from the audience could be distracting. The Irish Sun reported that Roberts confessed his bid for the Glitterball trophy could be scuppered by his wife screaming for him during performances.
Future Plans
The location of the “very expensive” holiday is yet to be decided, with Niamh having the final say. Roberts is eager to provide his wife with a relaxing and memorable getaway after her tireless efforts during his time on Dancing with the Stars.
