"UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL"
Mark's parents are Marie Verdon and Oliver Feehily. He has two younger brothers named Barry (born 1985) and Colin (born 1989).He has a dog named Snoopy
Mark's previous jobs were a pizza delivery boy and he was a photo lab assistant.
Mark enjoys playing football with the other lads, and he supports Liverpool.
Mark went to St Patrick's National School, which was outside of sligo, he also went to Summerhill College, where he met Shane and Kian, and they form IOU. He has a birthmark on his back which he refers to as a 'splodge'. Strangely, his brother Colin's got one as well! Mark had a part in a Cub Scouts play - and he had to dress as a woman, complete with clip-on earrings and a dash of eye shadow! He always keeps his toothbrush in a glass by the sink - and he goes mad if anyone moves it! He once had a job in a restaurant - he was paid £2.60 an hour - and used to have to clean the toilets as part of his job. Mark's dream house is Big house with swimming pool + tennis court in Sligo. Mark would also really like an apartment in New York! Mark says he would pose naked, but only if he was paid a million pounds!
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.
The pair have been dating since January 2005 after having met at a Cheerios Childline Concert in Ireland. In yet another interview, Feehily told The Sydney Morning Herald that despite the fact that the majority of Westlife's fans are female, there had really been no negative reaction. "I am so much happier now and I think our fans can see that," he said. "Through the years of getting to the point where I wanted to come out, I had to go through every kind of emotion, but I can honestly say that the day before I came out, I didn't care what the reaction was going to be. That was the hardest point to get to."
Mark stated that he wants to grow old with Kevin, and that the pair believe that they will be together forever.Mark and Kevin got engaged on 28 January 2010 and Feehily confirmed the news via Twitter.
In 2011 Mark discussed the couple's plans concerning having children together and discussed their marriage plans. Asked about his other future plans with McDaid, Feehily said "We're best friends and we live together and we're going to get married soon. I can't wait, but we haven't finalised the date."

"WESTLIFE LADS ON MARK"
Mark is very funny - you can be in tears laughing at Mark if he’s in the right mood. But he likes to spend time on his own, chilling out in his room watching TV, or going for a long walk.. -KIAN EGAN
Mark is the deceptive one. When I first met him he wouldn’t say boo to a goose and he wouldn’t open his heart out for any of us, but when you get to know him you discover the boy is really mad! "He'd hate it if he was made to feel like he didn't have a life of his own"
Sometimes we have to do a day of solid interviews from nine in the morning to nine at the night and he’ll just get so fed up answering the same questions hour after hour that he starts making things up.We always speak in Irish when we don’t want people to know what we’re saying! -NICKY BYRNEHe’s very quiet, and can be very shy until you get to know him. He likes his privacy, but is a totally genuine guy - he sings all day. He’s got such a brilliant voice. -SHANE FILAN
"Mark's the best at that. He could sleep on a nail."
- BRIAN MCFADDEN
"EXCESS MARK"
DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN THREE WORDS: Shy, reserved but also friendly
RULE OF LIFE: "Money isn't everything, but happiness is"
PHRASE THAT YOU USED OFTEN: Well buddie - what's the craic (Irish for fun)
"Before I was in the band, I thought Dolce & Gabbana was a type of pizza..." -Mark
