Ronan Keating's Wife Joins Him Down Under

Yvonne arrives in Oz minus her wedding ring...

Ronan Keating's estranged wife Yvonne has reportedly flown to Australia to join her cheating hubby in a bid to rescue their marriage.

The Boyzone star, who is currently in Down Under enjoying a stint as a judge on the Aussie version of X Factor was joined by the 36-year old two days after he arrived in Sydney.

Yvonne, who discovered her hubby of 12-years was having an affair surprised Keating with her visit, although reports suggest the former model was not wearing her wedding ring.

The family are said to have spent the weekend at Luna Park as Yvonne took her three children - Missy, Ali and Jack on the rides while their father filmed the X Factor auditions in the park.

A spokesperson for Australian X Factor has since claimed that Yvonne's arrival in Oz was a surprise, especially since the couple announced they were splitting following Keating's affair with backing dancer Francine Cornell.

The source told Confidential: "Yvonne is here but of course no one wants to intrude and ask them what's going on,"

"They're keeping it very low key. We've got no idea if she will be here for the duration of recording or will take the kids home early."

The insider added: "It's all very delicate and really none of our business."

Ronan, who joins the likes of Natalie Imbruglia on the X Factor judging panel is expected to return to Ireland after the auditions before the live stage of the show.
