The pandemic had a huge impact on Beirnes’s life, as she had been an active nurse during the COVID outbreak. Around this time, she was working at the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre in Canada. However, she did not only get the support of her then-boyfriend, Pendrith. The golfer proposed to her around COVID time in 2020, and a year later they got married on October 17th, 2021. The couple then moved to the USA.
Megan now specializes in blood and blood diseases. She is currently employed as a registered nurse in the hematology and stem cell transplant departments at Hamilton General Hospital in Ontario.
