The wife of Gareth O'Callaghan has been diagnosed with cancer

Sharing the news online, Paula revealed that she received a harrowing leukemia diagnosis, but stressed that she is ready to fight.

Paula said this diagnosis has been "a lot to process," but said she is ready to fight.

She wrote, "I've recently received a diagnosis of leukemia. While it's a lot to process, I'm ready to fight and learn more about this journey."

As per CorkBeo, she shared: "I am so grateful for the love and support of my husband, Gareth, and my family."

The radio presenter met his wife Paula in 2015. The pair have been through a lot together, including Gareth's MSA diagnosis.

Paula and Gareth have been married since 2020 and found their forever home in Douglas in Cork.

The presenter is best known for hosting the Saturday morning show on Classic Hits FM.

Paula has been a huge support to Gareth ever since he was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy.

The broadcaster was devastated after he was diagnosed with the rare disease in March 2018.

Multiple system atrophy causes people to lose coordination and balance or become slow and stiff. It can also cause a change in your speech and loss of control of other bodily functions.

There is sadly no cure for the rare disease, but there are ways to manage the symptoms.

MSA typically worsens over time, according to Mayo Clinic.

We're keeping the beloved couple in our thoughts during this heartbreaking time.
