Ronan Keating and wife Yvonne end 14 year marriage

Ronan and Yvonne Keating have reportedly decided to end their 14-year marriage after struggling to move on from the Boyzone star's adulterous past.

The If Tomorrow Never Comes singer's personal life hit the headlines after it was revealed he had an affair with dancer Francine Cornell during a 2009 tour.

Yvonne, 37, found out about the 35-year-old star's other woman when she discovered text messages from her.

He tried to repair the damage to his marriage and the couple decided to give things another go for the sake of their children, Jack, 13, Missy, 11, and Ali, 6.

It now seems the efforts to save their relationship were unsuccessful.

A friend told The Sun: 'Although Ronan and Yvonne couldn't patch things up, they are both determined to be there for their kids.

'They still love each other and wanted to tell their children and then their friends first, before everyone found out.'

Ronan's management team have not yet commented on the report.

Ronan confessed to his seven-month affair with dancer Francine, then 26, in 2010 following his tour of the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

According to the Sunday Mirror, a source said at the time: 'It was during these nights away from home that he’s thought to have strayed.

'It’s a lonely existence being on tour with lots of late nights. Sadly, the temptation proved too much.'
