Imelda May splits from husband following 13 years of marriage

Imelda May announced on Friday on her Facebook page that her and her Husband Darrel have split up. 

The pair walked down the aisle in 2002 and have one daughter who was born in 2012. Darrel was in her band, although it is reported that he has quit now, and the pair toured the world together a long with the rest of the band for a lot of their married life. 

Following a concert in France, Imelda took to her Facebook page to break the news to her fans before the papers announced it.

She started off saying "Ok so here it goes… My husband Darrel and I have split up. As you can imagine we are very sad but happy we're making the right decision for us and our daughter who is doing really well by the way.

"The papers are running with it soon. Weird to have your life as gossip but that's human nature. No matter what you hear and read my husband and I have the deepest love and respect for each other and are doing well."

"We are lucky to both have such amazing family and friends. As you know I hate to air my laundry in public and never do but thought I should put something on here to dispel any bad rumours. I wish you and yours much love. God bless. Imelda X"

Many fans were extremely disappointed and wished her all the best for the future.
