Ex Boyzone member Ronan Keating has finally spoken out about the ending of his marriage with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly.
Their marriage ended after news broke of the affair that Ronan had been having with dancer Francine Cornell, and their divorce was finalised in 2015.
Ronan posted to Facebook on Friday, stating; "I do not regret the end of my marriage, it's not what I wanted. There is a lot more to it than an affair and obviously it was broken well before then".
He continued; "Over the years I have kept my mouth shut and taken all the blame for the sake of my kids and my ex wife. But enough now. After six years I deaw the line. There is a lot more to my
situation than people will ever know and that's the way it should be. But there are always two people in a relationship and if it's not working there's more than one good reason for it".
He then added "I will not stand for complete misrepresentation of my truth and my heart anymore. I've done that for way too many years and too long in the tooth for it. Please respect that everyone has moved on and better off".
"The only reason I've been polite enough to respond to any line of questioning about my past, is because I'm promoting my album and the essence of that album is authenticity and truth. I have nothing to hide. It's the first time in my life
I've been able to write such a genuinely personal album and for someone to take my honesty and twist it into the opposite for a sensational headline is very upsetting. It goes against everything that I stand for and the music that I've created".
But that's not it. The star later continued with "Not once did I say I was apologising to my ex wife or saying sorry for the affair. I said I was sorry for all the hurt it had caused, to which I truly am".
Ronan and ex-wife Yvonne were married for 17 years and had three children together - Jack, 16, Missy, 14 and Ali, 10.
Ronan's new album "Time Of My Life" will be released on the 12th February.
