Ronan Keating, 46, married his model wife Storm in 2015, the same year that his divorce from his first wife Yvonne Connolly, 49, was finalised.
The former couple were married for 12 years and welcomed three children Jack, Missy and Ali before they briefly split in 2010, and permanently went their separate ways in 2012. Ronan has made some rare comments about the end of their relationship, addressing the "devastating effects" of his affair with backing dancer Francine Cornell.

"I was wrong. I made a choice and, because of that choice, there were devastating effects in people’s lives."

The couple – who continue to co-parent their kids – rekindled their relationship following his affair, but he said "the trust was gone" and they ultimately decided to divorce. When You Say Nothing At All hitmaker Ronan also opened up about being "honest" with his children about his mistakes.
"I was honest. They're your kids, you have to be and with something like this, they were going to find out anyway. As a parent, you're never wrong in your children's eyes. So you feel like a failure."

"You can’t hide things from them because if you do then the chances are they are going to read about it in the papers or someone in school is going to tell them," she said in an interview with The Mirror.
"You have to be honest with them and my priority is that really. If there’s something they need to know then I will try to tell them before they hear about it from elsewhere.
"When we separated I wanted to try to give them a bit of time for it to sit with them before everyone else knew about it and I think they coped really well."
