According to the other lads, Mark is the biggest liar in the band! Nicky claims Mark often lies about his age when chatting up girls. Feehily publicly came out as GAY in the British tabloid The Sun, and announced his long-term relationship with Kevin McDaid, a member of the British boy band V.In an interview he said, "My life has got umpteen times better. My sexuality doesn't define me as a person, but it's a huge part of anyone to be open about it. It's changed my life totally as I feel so much happier and at ease. It's the best thing I've ever done." Unlike his band mates, for years Feehily did not discuss his private life. His manager Louis Walsh was unaware of Feehily's sexual orientation when he picked him for the band.
