Everything about Brian O'Driscoll's wife Amy Huberman and her career
BRIAN O'DRISCOLL is known for his rugby career and his talented wife has been equally successful as an actress, writer and shoe designer.
The former Ireland captain is married to Amy Huberman, who has an impressive list of TV credits – including The Clinic and Finding Joy – to her name.
Who is Amy Huberman, wife of Brian O'Driscoll?
Amy Huberman is an actress from Dublin, Ireland.
She was born on March 28, 1979 to parents Harold and Sandra.
She has a brother, Mark Huberman, who is also an actor.
Huberman studied at University College Dublin and originally planned to become a social worker before discovering a love for drama.
She married Brian O'Driscoll in July 2010, with the couple hosting their wedding at Lough Rynn Castle in County Leitrim, Ireland.
The couple had started dating five years before they tied the knot, and were first set up by a mutual friend after O'Driscoll saw Huberman during a TV interview and wanted to meet her.
In 2011, O'Driscoll joked on Sky Sports News that he was “technically stalking” his current wife when he got a boyfriend to orchestrate their first meeting.
It can be a bit of a juggle… I'm grateful to be able to do something I truly love

The pair were once known as “Ireland's Posh and Becks”, but the comparison to David and Victoria Beckham hasn't been made for some time.
Huberman himself told it Irish Sunday Mirror in 2022: “I haven't seen that in a long time, maybe in the 1990s.”
The duo has welcomed three children together: a daughter and two sons.
Huberman and O'Driscoll had their first child, daughter Sadie, in 2013 and she was joined by younger brother Billy in 2015.
The couple then welcomed their third, Ted, at the end of 2020.
Despite her and her husband's success in their respective careers, it is their family – not their fame – that is their main focus.
“I go to school to pick up my children. I identify with each day,” Huberman told The Mirror in 2022.
She continued: “Listen, with Brian's success and (since) we're both in the public eye, [fame] is not something we focus on.
“It's just a side that is part of our work, it still surprises me.”
The O'Driscoll and Huberman family have a rescue dog named Phoebe and have given their beloved pooch the full name of Phoebe Mary Eithne Aine Marie Deirdre Michelle Audrey Gubnait.
Huberman is not only an actress, but also an accomplished writer.
Her debut novel, Hello Heartache, was published in July 2009 and her second, I Wished For You, was released in 2012.
Huberman's first children's book, The Day I Got Trapped in my Brain, was published in 2022.
In 2023, the star spoke about balancing her many career paths with family life, tellingly VIP magazine: “As with everyone, there is no answer, it can be a bit of a juggle.
“I'm grateful to be able to do something I really love and I appreciate those opportunities as well.”
