They announced their split officially at the beginning of April. But Ronan Keating is still struggling to come to terms with the fact he’s split from his wife of 14 years, Yvonne.
The Boyzone star has turned to booze and admits he’s lost weight while he gets used to being single again because he’s struggling to eat.
Ronan, 35, has opened up to the Daily Mirror about the break-up, revealing it has been a ‘horrible past few months’.
He told the newspaper: ‘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.
‘I’ve lost a bit of weight. I run a lot and basically I haven’t been eating – just drinking all the time.’
The singer has been spotted in France this week as he promotes his film debut, Goddess, at the Cannes Film Festival.
And it appears he has been keeping himself busy since splitting from his blonde wife.
Keating has insisted that the pair have managed to remain friends.
And although he is now back on the market he is adamant he’s not ready to date again just yet.
He added: ‘This whole split has been incredibly painful.
I am very much single now but can’t even contemplate dating again – that is the last thing on my mind, even the thought of it terrifies me.’
The Irish pop star has been busy filming Australia’s The X Factor Down Under but he’s still making time for his children as he insisted they are ‘always the priority’.
He will be jetting to see them for a day from France before he has to fly back to Sydney again this week.
Keating has endured a tough couple of years after his marriage was first rocked when it emerged that he had enjoyed a two-month fling with dancer Francine Cornell in 2010.
Yvonne made her first public appearance since the split at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel for her friend Miriam Ahern’s annual lunch and fashion show in aid of CARI – a charity which provides counselling to children and families affected by child sex abuse.
And she also spoke out about the heartache at the event.
