You start to feel how you’re supposed to feel when you’re in love. It was terrible, I didn’t realise until I was out [of that situation] that I wasn’t what I felt I was.

The former Boyzone singer who married a Co Kildare born former model has announced that he didn't know himself during their relationship.

In a new interview,published in Evoke, singer Ronan Keating says he got married too young and didn’t really know himself during their relationship.

Ronan and Yvonne’s marriage first came under stress following media attention surrounding the former Boyzone star’s affair with dancer Francine Cornell in 2010. The couple reconciled but split up officially in 2011.

They married in April 1998 while on holiday on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean.

The pair's marriage came less than three months after the death of Keating's mother Marie from breast cancer.

He later revealed that he had asked Yvonne to marry him on a whim after they had been for a walk and the ceremony was held shortly after.

They had a church blessing in Ireland a year later in the company of friends and family and were soon celebrating the arrival of their first child.

Last year he married Australian TV producer, Storm.
