McFadden says his marriage was a sham
Tuesday 27 March 2007
The former Westlife star made the comments in an interview with Reveal magazine, claiming that the couple even spent their wedding night apart.
Speaking about the wedding, McFadden said: "It wasn't a real wedding. We were getting married to have a big party and get loads of money for it - and to appear showbiz."
"The day my marriage ended was on the stag. That was the time I felt 'this is not supposed to be'."
"At first, I denied the lapdancer thing, but then I was taken to court for calling her a liar," he said. "Me and Kerry didn't even see each other on our wedding night."
McFadden also spoke about the couple's two daughters, saying: "If we hadn't had kids, the marriage wouldn't have lasted as long as it did."
"I was too young to understand what having kids meant. Having a child was like getting a dog."
The singer also said that the split was a mutual decision. "Then it spiralled out of control. All of a sudden it was: 'He didn't love me any more, and wants to break up'."
McFadden also admitted: "My private life became as artificial as my pop life in Westlife, but I couldn't see it at the time."
"We became a showbiz couple, and everyone was talking about us. That swept me off my feet."
