In early August 2024, Danny O’Donoghue, the frontman of The Script, shared a heartwarming moment with his longtime partner, Anais Naing, that captivated fans worldwide. The couple announced their engagement following a romantic proposal in Norway, a testament to their enduring love story.

The proposal took place atop a mountain facing the breathtaking Seven Sisters waterfall, a location the couple holds dear. Danny recounted the experience, saying, “We hiked up to the top of a mountain to face the most beautiful waterfall in the world, The Seven Sisters. It’s our favourite place on earth.” He added, “I nearly passed out from exhaustion carrying up all the champagne, glasses, and food for if she said yes. I had to do it all without her knowing.

Danny and Anais’s relationship began during the pandemic, a period that allowed them to form a deep and meaningful connection. Reflecting on their time together, Danny shared, “I met her during Covid and if you’ve been with anybody through Covid it’s like you compress 10 years into those years.”

Anais Naing, a French events manager, has been a significant presence in Danny’s life for over four years. The couple has been relatively private about their relationship, making this public announcement particularly special for their fans.

The engagement news comes at a poignant time for Danny and The Script, following the release of their seventh studio album, “Satellites,” on August 16, 2024. This album marks the band’s first major project since the passing of their guitarist and co-founder, Mark Sheehan, in April 2023. Danny has been open about the challenges of coping with this loss, sharing that he turned to drinking and smoking as coping mechanisms but has been sober since late December 2023. He emphasized the importance of honesty in music, stating, “Music is about the truth. I chose to be very open and very upfront about it because I have to be. I just lost my best mate of 30 years.” ([

Fans have expressed overwhelming support and joy for Danny and Anais’s engagement, celebrating this positive news amidst the band’s recent challenges. The couple’s love story, from meeting during a global pandemic to their romantic mountaintop proposal, has resonated deeply with many, symbolizing hope and resilience.

As Danny and Anais embark on this new chapter together, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for them, both personally and professionally. The engagement not only marks a significant milestone in their relationship but also brings a renewed sense of hope and excitement to The Script’s dedicated fanbase.
