He told The Irish Mirror: "She found it a bit strange at the start when she moved back from London. She didn’t really understand how big rugby was in Ireland. It took a bit of getting used to but I think most of the partners get it in this day and age and it is part and parcel.
"She’s online as well, she’s got a social media following so we put ourselves in that position as well so we just have to, whether you like it or not, that’s the way it is."
The couple are set to welcome their first child together in November and are busy looking for a new home.
"Million dollar question," Conor laughed.
"We’re in Limerick at the moment but she’s from Derry. Somewhere in the middle, maybe.
"But Dublin could be the landing spot. I was looking at house prices and they’re a bit saucy."
Conor previously told us of his excitement about becoming a dad.
"She’s getting a bit bigger, and it’s been a little bit more real and feeling the kicks and all that. We were buggy shopping... it’s getting real.
"It’ll be the first grandchild on our side of the family and my sister is due literally the day after us as well, so my mam is up the walls in a good way."
He said Joanna has been "lucky so far" with her pregnancy.
"Yeah, she’s been really lucky so far. Not much sickness, just a bit tired. That’s it. That’s a good complaint. Touch wood, everything is going so smoothly so far."
