Ronan Keating and his wife Yvonne have reconciled three months after it was revealed the Boyzone singer had an affair.
The couple separated in May after 12 years of marriage amid reports Ronan had an affair with a dancer he met on Boyzone’s tour last summer. Francine Cornell, who at 26 is 10 years younger than Yvonne, allegedly had a seven-month relationship with the father of three.
Soon after the news became public, Ronan flew to Australia to fulfil his duties as a judge on the Aussie version of X Factor. In June, Yvonne and the couple’s three children, Jack, 11, Marie, nine, and Ali, four, travelled to Sydney to be with Ronan.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, the star has confirmed he and Yvonne have reconciled. “We've been left to our own devices but we are now a happy family,” the singer said. “It's all good, thank God.”
During a recent UK performance on a whistle-stop trip back from Australia, Ronan thanked fans for sticking by him. “It has been a really scary time. Thanks so much for all the support from you over the past few weeks. You were the ones who kept me going,” he told the crowd.
But although it looks like Ronan and his wife are back on track, they’re not planning any grand gestures to cement their reconciliation. A spokesperson for the couple has denied reports they are planning to renew their wedding vows while in Australia.
