Ronan Keating Talks About Marriage Split

Ronan Keating has spoken for the first time about the end of his marriage to wife Yvonne.

And theBoyzone star, 35, has said that he has lost a stone in weight, drinks more and is not eating properly.

The Mirror quoted him as saying: "It’s been a horrible past few months. This has been by far the hardest thing I have ever had to contend with in my life, the hardest thing Yvonne and I have had to do together.

"The decision was horrible but it was for the best, and we are great now and still very close. We really are friends and the most important thing is that the kids are OK and happy, that they're not affected."

Ronan and Yvonne decided to split 18 months after he was revealed to have had an affair with a dancer.

Ronan continued: "I still see my kids, that side of things is completely fine – there are no issues.

"I've lost a bit of weight. I run a lot and basically I haven't been eating – just drinking all the f****** time. It's not healthy, really."
