Absolutely, but hey come on, how many men do you honest think who are even capable of being man enough to come clean, finish with dignity and respect for the person who has spent so many years supporting them? Very few, and most will only admit at all because they are caught. Why some people make nonsensical comments about these people amazes me, because as members of the public, we know absolutely zilch about their real characters, their values, their respectability. These have nothing to do with selling millions of records or presenting a smiley goody two shoes face to the naive public. Anyway guys why should we be so concerned about them to assume anything either good or bad? There's so much else of more importance going on around us besides what the trivia that surrounds these types. I guess never assume anything is probably the best motto. Wish no harm and do no harm and let them get on with it. The only people who really concerns me in any story like this is the innocent children who often end up so confused and then farmed off to one or the other every second weekend or whatever. Those are the ones who I worry about and no money, prestige, mansions, or smart cars can undo the damage.

I reckon Cheating Keating is not the only one for whom stuff like this is yet to come out of the woodwork.

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the other Boyzone members and also Westlife members for that matter have been up to the same thing.

Bunch of smug gits up their own backsides the lot of them. I'd say the tabloids are trawling for more such stories.

Know what guys? I think this topic is time wasting and we all need to get a life and discuss something really worthwhile. As for the comments, only hope they are meant in jest, as some of them are quite disturbing. To those who made them I can only deduct that you must be perfect specimens of humanity as well as being experts on relationships and what a good relationship is based on. Seems like you got all the answers there and the odd really lovely compliment about these two individuals whom none of us know anything about except that one was a model, one is in a boy band and 'sings' for a living. If fidelity is so very difficult for so called celebrities then why get married at all and just continue to live a hedonistic lifestyle. Then at least children would not suffer the consequences of their father/mothers weaknesses lack of values etc. If anyone out there either male or female are daft enough to think they will look young forever, be as desirable as they were in the first flush of youth etc, then they are sadly living in never never land and need a reality check. Ever wondered how the not so pretty/hansome/beautiful people among us manage to have successful and happy lives? Perhaps it comes from looking a little beyond the face, the shape, the height, the dress sense and the status of the partner we have. Believe me guys, it is to be found in the simplest of things, things that don't fade away with years. Well, that is what all the long married happy people I meet tell me anyway. Ha, but hey, don't mind them eh.

To be fair to Yvonne she has never really been in the public eye other than when she needed to be e.g. Marie Keating Foundation event/Boyzone LLS appearence. If I was Yvonne I'd be a bit pissed that Keith Duffys wife spoke to the press.

I usually buy the Star most mornings but couldn't stomach another front page with this crap.

Either way, the gold digger will get looked after

i'd say she gave her permission to talk to the press, she's her best friend so she's probably using her to get some of her story across to the media, I mean if Yvonne just took him back we would all think she's a walkover but because her best friend Lisa (Keiths wife) told us she thinks they will get back together well thats alright then she must know, she's friends with both of them. It's too early for Yvonne to talk to the press, that's if she ever does talk to them, so for her to say nothing we all make assumptions and think she's weak thats why she is getting Keiths wife to give the odd snippet of information

Here's my take on it:

She found out about his affair and decided to work on the marriage.

The newspaper got the story and they knew it was a matter of time.

She said she wants to have some digity and the only way she'll take him back is if he publicly begs her back.

It's all staged.

She's making appearances without her ring all dolled up at various stages. He's arriving for 'crisis talks' and getting put out on the street again.

Eventually, she relents.

It's the only way she can maintain her dignity in front of the media, take him back and continue on with the relationship as the 'strong one' that ronan eventually wore down as he loved her so much. It's horrible as these people seem to love to live their lives through the newspapers,

Honestly, if it was genuine, surely they would be hiding from the media, rather than staging scenes and giving hidden messages out and talking to reporters through third parties.

If the above is anyway true, I feel sorry for them. They are starved for attention and are obviously lacking in something and the poor kids are living this soap opera with them.

I think you've definitely hit the nail on the head there.

RubyBlu · 25-05-2010 10:56PM

She should watch Sandra Bullock and learn. That's how to be dignified. They are so what I dont miss about the Celtic Tiger and new money.

lucozader · 25-05-2010 11:13PM

i think yvonne is a bit too skeletor esque in her facial features, she could be skeletors granny

True.

If this was true it's a very risky game to play with the media in this way. Depending on how the papers decide to report the story they could potentially wreck his career. Look at the damage the papers did to Brian McFadden.

Also it's something very unneccessary to do on the kids.

I don't get why posters feel the need to comment on a thread they apparently have no interest in. Don't like the thread - stay out of it.

i'm not sure that's fair actually. She had a career as a model before they met and gave it up to be a wife/mother. They were childhood sweethearts and she stuck with him through the Boyzone split and his solo career going down the pan! I don't think she was after his money!

deelite · 26-05-2010 08:50AM

Childhood sweethearts I don't think so, they were in the 20's when they met and married. Nicky Byrne and Georgina Aherne - they met and stayed together since they were 14 - that to me is childhood sweethearts.

If this is a publicity stunt I'd be expecting a book from her within the next few months maybed called "When the Going Got Tough I Didn't Get Going"....

Serious? Remember, she was knocking around with Eddie Irvine...
Career as a model? Wow. Hardly Cindy Crawford star power?

Ronan was a name, a famous name and someone who could have
really boosted her profile.

They were not childhood sweethearts. She sought him out I would say.
This is not like Nicky Byrne and Georgina, as has been mentioned, or Wayne Rooney and Coleen.

But, I will say that Coleen was not staying with Rooney out of love after Grannygate.
The big bucks had a big part in her staying I would say.

Does anyone really believe that some of these women would look twice
at some of these guys if they were your everyday fellas? Heather Mills
to use one example.

Not a chance. If JK worked in a chip van, there was no chance of him pulling Denise Van Outen.

Although I can't see what Paul McC saw in Heather Mills. If I'd a bag of mickeys, I wouldn't give her one

She's a real pro though, honing her hypnosis skills over the years, until she bagged the big mark. If she needs a top up, she'll find some other sucker.

not_xanthor · 26-05-2010 07:13PM

I don't remember ever hearing that Ronan and Yvonne were childhood sweethearts.... but that may just be me.

Sorry but no one knew her until she got when Ronan around the time his mam died they were not childhood sweethearts at all they were friends only before

studioguest · 27-05-2010 11:50AM

I know this is kinda off the topic but i picked up one of last Sundays newpapers and there was a picture of Ronan and Yvonne on the front page but whatever way i looked at it I thought it was the mother out of Crystal Swing with Ronan..!!!!!! I have seen her since and there is a likeness between them in some pics!!

lucozader · 27-05-2010 05:51PM

the mom from crystal swing looks younger than yvonne

ejmaztec · 27-05-2010 06:28PM

This Crystal Swing comparison is older than time itself.:eek:

Degsy · 28-05-2010 09:07AM

I think she looks like that other raddled old bitch Linda Martin

JP Liz V1 · 28-05-2010 09:57AM

I think she looks very like Ronan himself
