Title: Interesting Facebook/Instagram photo post...
Post by: Naraku_Diabolos on August 03, 2016, 11:37AM
Last week, Eabha had posted a pretty...well, not controversial, but a picture that really made a lot of people wonder what her post was all about.

Eabha posted a picture of herself with a blonde haired gal and it said "Soul Matey!" People either liked the post or did a Wow on the post! Some people even commented what she meant by her picture with the comment. A guy had the balls to ask her if that was her girlfriend. Within an hour or two, she changed the text for the post and it said "Soul Sista!" On Instagram, her photo still says "Soul Matey" on it. Out of respect for Eabha, I am not posting the link to that said picture, but you can see it either on Facebook or Instagram.

As a fan, I really do care about Eabha because she's a great person, friendly, and someone I look up to as a role model because of her career. I just don't think that if she posted something like that, a lot of her fans would be turned off with her photo comment. I mean, in this day and age, we have people now coming out of the closet all the time. I respect Eabha and her personal life, and to me, nothing will change the way I see her as. As an inspiration from being an ordinary person who rose above the ranks in a career with her singing talent, just like all the other girls for Celtic Woman and other music groups.

"Soul mate" is a very normal term to call a very close friend, or someone you feel in different ways close to, if only in mind. If it is a kind of coming out - I am happy for her, to have a great girlfriend! If it is not, I am happy for her to have a great friend! In any way, I don't think the term "soul mate(y)" is any more 'gay' than the term "soul sister/sistah".

I really don't think people should read too much into either the picture or the caption.

I think the girl Éabha refereed to as "Soul Matey" is just a good friend. However, I do believe she has boyfriend because she posts photos with him often on Instagram and even called him the apple of her eye. :)

Re: the photo: If you know who the woman she's posing with is, it does make things a bit interesting.

But the other woman in the photo has been in a relationship for a long time (maybe 1997) and I don't think that's changed.  ;)

I'm pretty strongly inclined to believe her and Eabha are just friends.

To be honest though, it wouldn't change my opinion of her one bit regardless of what it does or doesn't mean.

Whether Éabha has a boyfriend, or a girlfriend, or a good friend, I am just happy that she's happy :)

I honestly think people are overreacting to Éabha's post. My best friend (who is a girl) calls me "wifey" sometimes and there's absolutely nothing romantic between us. :D

After all, the word soulmate could either describe a partner or a close friend. But I'd still respect Éabha the same no matter what. :)

Totally agree!

No, that is not Éabha's brother. That gentleman is named John.

However, this is a photo of her brother. I think his name is Carai McMahon. They're two completely different gentlemen and it's all on Éabha's Instagram page. ;)
