Personal Life
Following a 17 year relationship with an electrician which ended in August 1996, Doyle had a much publicised relationship Jim McDaid (former Minister for Tourism, Sport & Recreation). She met McDaid at a function at New York in late 1997, and the relationship ended acrimoniously after about six months.
She has been in a relationship with former restaurant owner, Dan McGrattan, since the beginning of the 2000s.
In February 2012, she came fifth in a poll to find Ireland's most desirable Valetines.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
