Westlife's Mark: I'm Gay
Westlifer: I'm Gay
One of Irish boyband Westlife has decided to follow in the footsteps of Boyzone's Stephen Gately and Pop Idol winner Will Young by speaking publicly about his sexuality for the first time.
The heart-throb reveals: "I am gay and I'm very proud."
Mark Feehily, who has always shied away from talking about his private life, has decided to be open now that his group are an established part of the pop fraternity - with twelve number ones under their belts.
"I want people to know the truth about my sexuality. I am gay and I'm very proud of who I am.
"I'm not asking for sympathy or to be a role model for anyone else," he announced to The Sun.
Mark Feehily His three bandmates, who have always been aware that Mark is gay, have all settled down in relationships.
Nicky Byrne is married to the Irish premier's daughter Georgina Ahern, Shane Filan is married to Gillian Walsh who is expecting their first child and Kian Egan is in a high profile relationship with former Hollyoaks actress Jodi Albert.
And now Mark feels ready to speak about his love for boyfriend Kevin McDaid, who was formerly in boyband V.
"I would like to say that I'm happy, and that I've found someone who is a real companion," he told the paper.
"It does get lonely being on the road with the band sometimes and I'm very happy now I'm in a relationship with someone who makes me laugh."
He's explained how friends and family have been very supportive of his choice to come out and says he's not concerned about the response of the general public.
"I'm not worried about how people react because I'm happy being who I am," he states.

Unlike his bandmates, for years Mark did not discuss his relationships and private life. On 19 August 2005 he revealed to The Sun newspaper that he is gay and in a relationship with Kevin McDaid from boyband V.
