He kept their break up a secret for several years.
Kevin blamed the split on the couple being naive and settling down too young.
What has Kevin Kilbane said about their break up?
In February 2020 Kevin said he blames himself for the split after struggling to focus on his family life towards the end of his football career.
He told the Irish Mirror: When I moved to Hull in 2009, I was on the road a lot. I was away three and four nights a week.
Then I was away on international duty for Ireland 10 and 15 days at a time.
Thats what put pressure on our relationship. Thats probably why we ended up splitting up.
