Fans of Derry Girls have been left in shock after discovering the identity of Saoirse-Mona Jackson’s boyfriend.
The 28-year-old actress, who is known for playing Erin Quinn in the hit Channel 4 comedy, went Instagram official with her partner last year, but it seems many fans failed to notice.
After a Twitter account posted a now viral tweet about the 28-year-old’s relationship, fans have collectively lost their minds.
The tweet said: “There are some random celebrity couples out there but Denis Sulta and Erin from Derry girls takes the cake.”

Yep, Saoirse-Monica’s boyfriend is 29-year-old DJ Denis Sulta, and her Instagram account is filled with loved-up snaps of the pair on dates and on a tropical holiday.
“What on earth,” one shocked Twitter user replied.
“Nahhh that’s mad,” shared another person.
One woman dubbed the couple: “Most random and fave couple.”
Another account quoted the tweet, writing: “Only just discovered this today and I can’t stop thinking about it.”
One Twitter quipped: “Power couple.”
Someone else said: "HAHAHAHAHAHA WHY DID I NEVER KNOW THIS".
There is one former celebrity couple that many Twitter users argued was even more random – Stacey Solomon and Steve-O.
The Loose Women panelist, 32, is now engaged to former EastEnders star Joe Swash, 40.
Both Stacey and Steve-O, 47, took part on Channel 4’s ill-fated competition show The Jump in 2015, which is where they met.
The pair even became Instagram official the same year. However, Stacey’s representative confirmed their split in July 2015, citing long distance.
“Stacey Solomon and Steve-O was still the one I feel like but this is a new one to me,” one woman shared.
Another Twitter user replied to the tweet: “It’s Stacey Solomon and Steve O for me.”
Not everyone was convinced the dating news was surprising. One Derry Girls fan quipped: "I’d argue this is the best and least random celeb couple. Denis Sulta loves all things Derry".
