Personal Life
O'Shea married long term partner Yvonne Manning, 27, in the small surrounds of the Lady Chapel in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland on 8 June 2010. In 2008, he spoke of his years of enduring taunts from fans of rival football teams about his sexuality. He said, "I've been gay for about five years, according to them. The Manchester City fans think I'm gay. It's ridiculous." He added, "it's just a bit of banter really. I just brush it off. It doesn't annoy me. I'm always ready for the sing-song when we play City."

“Nothing exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an injustice. All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery.”
