Brian is currently doing the rounds with media ahead of the release of his new single Call On Me Brother.

The 35-year old, who recently split from wife Vogue, has said that he has no regrets about the failure of both of his marriages. The 35-year old pointed out that happines is what he belives is the most important thing for people. He said that:

"If people break up, they break up and it's not as big a deal as people make it out to be."

Having lived in the US Brian believes that their approach to marriage is more realistic than the Irish approach:

."I have lived in America, in LA and New York and this is normal. People get married all the time.

“Irish people are so used to meeting someone, getting married, having kids and then spending the next 40 years hating each other but living under the same roof."

Brian said that we don't live in that world anymore and people "have just got to be happy."

He and Vogue announced their break up in July and since then have been the subject of must discussion regarding how they still appear to be quite close. The Mirror writes that Brian has pointed out that he doesn't think that breaking up with someone means you never speak to them again.

“It doesn’t always have to be some big World War where people start fighting and hating each other. Everyone should just live their own lives by their own rules," the father of two added. 

He also commented that he doesn't think he will be getting married again any time soon, pointing out he's still technically married now so he doesn't see a third trip down the aisle in his future. His marriage to Kerry Katona in 2002 also ended in a break up four years later.

The singer is currently revamping his solo career with his latest single which notes is:

“It’s about the lads because I think boys always struggle to tell each other about emotions or feelings or anything like that.

“They are all a bit too cool so I wanted to write a song saying ‘You’ve always been there for me so if you ever need anything I’ll be there for you."

Brian will be playing his first Dublin gig in a decade this November in Whelans and his new album is set to be released early next year.

They shocked their fans back in July when they jointly announced their breakup on Twitter. 

But two months on, Vogue Williams has revealed that she doesn't miss her wedding and engagement rings too much – because Brian McFadden, 35, never actually asked for them back.

"They're so heavy!" she said of the spectacular 4ct, square-cut stone engagement ring and diamond-encrusted wedding band that she wore for three years following their September 2012 nuptials.  

"And I still have them, he didn't ask for them back!"

Certainly the duo remain on great terms – with Ms Williams commenting that she thinks her estranged spouse's new single, Call On Me Brother, is "brilliant".

"I'll definitely be at Whelan's to support him," the 29-year-old DJ added, referring to his recently-announced gig at the popular Dublin venue on November 4.

"Everyone thinks it's so weird we're still friends, but we were best friends from the start so even though it's really hard to break up I'd hate to lose him as a friend."

However, Vogue admitted that retaining their closeness will eventually prove challenging: "It definitely won't always be as easy as it is now to stay friends… we're not seeing other people at the moment but when those things change it'll be harder.

"For now we're trying to stay mature and not publicly kill each other."

Dublin-native Ms Williams was speaking at the launch of RTE 2's new autumn schedule, which took place at the station's Montrose campus. 

A total of 30 new series and 18 documentaries were announced for the forthcoming season, with Vogue herself fronting Mean Girls, a three-part show where she meets sexually adventurous, MMA fighting and law-breaking women who defy traditional perceptions of the ‘fairer sex’.

Well we imagine this would put a bit of strain on any relationship really.

35-year old Brian McFadden has confessed to some of his domestic sins of late. The former Westlife singer spoke candidly about how he’s struggling to settle into his new single life.

He admitted his mom Maired would never let him lift a finger when it came to household chores. Meaning that it wasn’t until after his recent split with wife Vogue that Brian learned how to use a washing machine.

Ah here!

Apparently he has even decided to hire a cleaner to help him adjust to a life of domestic bliss.

Talking to the Daily Mirror Brian said: “My mum did everything until I was 17 and everybody else did it for me when I was with the band.”

It’s well for some isn’t it? Brian said that while he was in Westlife he was almost constantly one the road and never had to worry about cleaning up after himself as the hotels always had cleaning staff.

Brian admitted that he’s finding the adjustment to be quite a struggle of late:

“I’m f**king useless… When Vogue first left I had to figure out how to use a washing machine. That was funny. It wasn’t that funny actually. I wrecked some of the clothes.”

We reckon we would probably struggle to see the humour in our favourite outfits being destroyed too.

Last month Vogue told Femail that she and Brian continued to live together briefly after their split but was getting ready to leave their London home this month.

Laundry trouble aside, Brian has been keeping busy getting ready to release his new single Call On Me Brother later this month.

She's always been a serious hotty, granted, but wowsers has Vogue Williams upped her game in recent months.

The Dublin model and DJ, who sadly announced her separation from husband Brian McFadden in July, has clearly been hitting the gym hard in the midst of her heartbreak. 

And the results of which are certainly impressive.

Over the last two weeks, the 29-year-old has been spotted in a whole load of amazing bikinis: SHEmazing! counts a total of ten different ones, in fact.

Get ready to get inspired…

 

From Lipsy – those straps on the bum aren't easy to master, but Vogue aces it:

Newly single Vogue Williams stunned at the Goodwood races in West Sussex with not one, but TWO amazing outfits being showcased. 

The model and reality TV star was there in the capacity of fashion correspondent for Channel 4 Racing late last week, when the high-profile event took place. 

Afterwards, and despite being a regular at some of Ireland's best courses, she admitted that the Goodwood Races was one of her favourites because of its laid-back style.

"I’ve been to a lot of racing events but Goodwood has a totally different feel to it, it’s a very relaxed atmosphere and it felt like more of a huge garden party," she explained in her blog for Hello Online. Sounds like our type of races!

The 29-year-old Dubliner furthermore let us in on her jam-packed schedule saying: "I started my days with a production meeting and then I went around the race track looking for amazing outfits to feature on the show."

Vogue believes style makes a big impact on race days saying: "I think fashion is a huge part of racing and everyone puts an massive amount of effort into their looks. The style at Goodwood is really relaxed."

On the first day of the event, the Bear Grylls: Mission Survive winner donned a gorgeous white lace dress from Spotted On Celeb, teaming it with a vibrant pink hat by milliner Laura Apsit Livens.

And on the second day, Ms Williams went for a more casual approach, wearing a pastel yellow floaty dress from Beulah with a Vivien Sheriff head piece. The model admitted that she wanted to go for a "1930's type look".

We think Vogue looked great in both outfits and is definitely giving us major style envy!

Yesterday, naked pictures of the DJ were released by Utan; a newly-released tanning product for which Vogue is fronting a major campaign. 

Indeed, such was the interest in the incredible snaps that the site crashed.

Just one month ago they hit the headlines when they announced via social media that they would be splitting up, not Vogue Williams is speaking about how difficult things have been since she and Brian McFadden went public with their split.

The Sun has reported that the 29-year old is still living with husband Brian despite the fact the pair are keen to go their separate ways.

She has admitted that while the living arrangements are odd, they are the most convenient for the twosome.

“My family find it strange but we’ve only just broken up and I haven’t found somewhere else to live.”

The model/DJ went on to say that their break-up was not the result of either of them finding someone else, rather it just didn’t work for them.

“He wasn’t with anyone else, I wasn’t with anyone else, it was nothing to do with that. That’s why we find it easier to be friends maybe.”

While Vogue has admitted that she has found their split very stressful, she is doing her best to move on from their failed relationship.

“I didn’t get married to get divorced. I’m not in a great place. I find every day is quite stressful, every day I’m upset, you just have to move forward with life.”

The Sun reports that Vogue is happy to be single for a while and hasn’t thought about on from ex-husband Brian just yet:

“I think I’ll be single for a while, I’m not ready for that. I still miss Brian, it’s not even crossing my mind just yet.”

Vogue and Brian, 35, were married in Florence in September 2012 and as recently as April the pair seemed to be hinting at starting a family together, with Vogue telling the Irish Independent she was “feeling the baby pressure”.

After appearing as a guest on Big Brother's Bit On the Side several times during the most recent series of BB, Irish model Vogue Williams seemed like a natural candidate for the celebrity version of the show.

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother kicks off next month, and although Vogue is a self-confessed "massive fan," she says she's not sure if she could hack three weeks locked in a house with 14 virtual strangers.

"A lot of people have been asking me if I’m going to do CBB and honestly as much as I love the show I couldn’t be a contestant," the Dublin-born model revealed in her latest blog post for Hello! magazine. "I’ve watched the show for years and I couldn’t stand being locked up with people for that long, they would drive me mad!"

The last series of the show was full of drama, with three housemates unceremoniously being ejected – Jeremy Jackson for attempting to remove Chloe Goodman's dressing gown, Ken Morley for using racist language on air, and Alexander O'Neal for using homophoblic language on air. So it's no surprise that Vogue is choosing to stay away from the show, though she says she will definitely be tuning in. 

"I will definitely be watching CBB this year; it’s always so good. I also heard a rumour that Caitlyn Jenner will be in there, how amazing!" the 29-year-old wrote.

Although she won't be appearing on CBB, Vogue said she got pretty flustered when she had the chance to step inside the Big Brother house for filming last week. "I was the most excited person ever," she admitted.

It's been a rocky few weeks for the model and TV personality, who recently announced she was splitting from her husband of almost three years, Brian McFadden. However she has been keeping busy and hitting the gym hard.

"I like to train between 5-6 days a week and I do about 50 minutes each day. It’s just something I always like to incorporate into my day and I treat it as part of my job," Vogue explained in her blog post, giving readers a taste of her usual exercise routine.

"It’s always hard to get motivated when you haven’t been in ages, so for any of you that are trying to get started, I promise once you get into it you will love it." There's no denying that Vogue has been looking more toned than ever lately, so her work has clearly been paying off:

If that picture doesn't motivate you to get to the gym, we don't know what will…

Following the news that she and husband of three years, Brian McFadden, were splitting up, Vogue Williams has finally broken her silence on the issue.

Last week the pair broke the news to the public on Twitter that with “sadness” they had “made the tough decision” to go their separate ways.

The reality TV star and DJ has now spoken briefly about their break-up in her weekly column for the Sunday World.

Vogue wrote that for both she and Brian “this has been a really tough week”. She did however say that “the support we’ve been getting from people online has been amazing.”

She did write that while she didn’t want to say too much on the subject, she does intend on staying in contact with the former Westlife singer.

“I will say that we really do remain friends and will always be in each other’s lives.”

The married in 2012 at a spectacular ceremony in Florence with the photographs being featured in Hello! magazine.

The former Fade Street star, who also has her own popular blog and has been DJing in Ibiza on behalf of Lipsy, wrote about the support she has received from her fans.

“The support we’ve been getting from people online has been amazing,” she wrote, she also said “Seeing everyone’s kind words has really made a difference in this hard time.”

The pair also appear to be relying on the support of their respective families and friends.

Just as recently as April the pair were reportedly talking about starting their own family and last month she revealed in her column that they had bought a house together in Howth.

After news of Brian McFadden's split from Vogue Williams was confirmed on Tuesday, the former Westlife singer has been appearing in the media more than he'd like.

Brian and Vogue both addressed news of their split openly on Twitter, even thanking their fans for messages of support and saying, "It means a lot."

Their up-front approach didn't stop some publications from going down the dramatic route though, and Brian finally hit back on Twitter last night. After seeing an article by OK! magazine in which it was mentioned that bookies had laid down odds of 25/1 for Brian to reunite with his ex Kerry Katona, the singer took to social media to make his views known.

"@OK_Magazine please respect our children and don't print this sort of nonsense," he wrote, with fans soon responding to add their own opinions to the mix.

"So insenstive," wrote one," with another adding, "you tell them Brian."

Reports this week suggested that it was all over for Kerry and her third husband George Kay, who she married last September, after the Atomic Kitten singer got sick of his party boy ways.

Brian and Kerry have two children together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, from their four year marriage.

The couple split in 2006 and nine years on seem to be on friendly terms, with Brian even taking to Twitter on Father's Day to thank George for being a "great man" to Kerry and the kids.

Despite the drama, last night Brian seemed content to relax with his daughters and enjoy a low-key evening:

Very cute.

Less than 48hours ago, Brian McFadden and his model/DJ wife Vogue Williams announced on Twitter that had ended their three-year marriage.

And it looks like we weren’t the only ones who didn’t see it coming: Brian’s former Westlife bandmate, Shane Filan, has now revealed that he he was equally surprised by the announcement.

Shane, 35, said to Now magazine that he was “really shocked” and noted how Brian hadn’t given him any clues of the impending separation.

“I chatted to him a couple of weeks ago about something that was golf related but yeah I’m really shocked.”

Yesterday, Shane was at a Warner Music Group summer drinks party where he admitted he had actually never met Vogue, 29, and that he hasn’t seen Brian in the flesh in a number of years.

He furthermore admitted he wasn't in the loop about Brian's other former flame, Kerry Katona, and her recent relationship woes, and went on to say that he hoped Brian is OK.

Mr Filan added of his new album: “I’ve been working on it for the last four or five months." The Sligo-native explained that it will be more “pop music” compared to his last album.

He didn’t mention anything about any music collaborations, but we can probably rule out any surprise duets with him and Brian.

They very much seemed the perfectly loved-up married couple – but this evening Brian McFadden took to Twitter to say that he and his wife of close-to three years have split. 

Vogue Williams shortly afterwards tweeted her own version of his statement.

"It is with sadness that Vogue and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways," the message reads.

"We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and we wish each other all the very best for the future."

Their split is the second time that 35-year-old Mr McFadden has experienced marital breakdown: he and his first wife Kerry Katona were married for two-and-a-half years before breaking up in 2004. They have two children, Molly, 13, and Lilly-Sue, 12, together.

He and Vogue, 29, do not have any children.

The reality TV star and DJ was today seen in Ibiza still proudly wearing her engagement and wedding ring.

The Dubliner looked sensational in a black Lipsy bikini – and certainly there was nothing to suggest the heartache she must have been experiencing. 

Vogue married former Westlife singer Brian in a lavish ceremony held in Florence in September 2012, photographs of which were featured in a glossy Hello! magazine spread.

More recently, Ms Williams has seen her career go from strength-to-strength: she appeared on – and subsequently won – Bear Grylls: Mission Survivor earlier this year.

The former model and Fade Street star is also spending a month in LA this summer filming for an as-yet unannounced show.

With an RTÉ project already in the pipeline for this autumn, she furthermore boasts a weekend radio show on Spin 103.8, has a popular blog in mynameisvogue.com, and right now is DJing in Ibiza on behalf of Lipsy.

As recently as April, Vogue told the Irish Independent that she and Brian were keen to start a family: "When we eventually have kids I want them to go to school in Ireland. It's a nice place to grow up," she revealed. 

She also admitted: "I'm feeling the baby pressure more now. I'll be married three years this September."

And she joked that she and Brian "squabble all the time" over baby names. "I want to give any children we have an equally mad name as the one I was given!"

The pair met in Dublin shortly after he and Australian singer Delta Goodman broke off their engagement – just eight months later, in November 2011, he got down on one knee and proposed to Ms Williams in Sydney.

Brian, who sold millions of records with Westlife, had a short-lived solo career. He subsequently had carved a niche for himself as a reality TV talent show judge.

However, since relocating back to the UK and Ireland from their base in Australia two years ago, he has enjoyed a much more low-key profile. 

Just last month in her Sunday World column, Vogue revealed that she and her husband had bought a house in Howth together, and that they had gotten a dog, a terrier called Winston.

Interestingly, it was widely rumoured today that Kerry Katona's third marriage, to George Kay, had also ended.

Despite having two daughters together, he's publicly dismissed their nuptials. 

Indeed, Brian McFadden, 35, has called his short-lived marriage to Kerry Katona, 34, "shambolic," further stating that he had "no idea" what he was doing when they said their vows in early 2002 in Co. Meath.

But the former Westlife singer himself was happy to extend the olive branch today, reaching out to Ms Katona's current and third husband, George Kay.

Wishing him a happy Father's Day, he thanked the 35-year-old former rugby-player for "keeping our family together".

George was quick to respond, telling Brian it was a "joint effort". "The girls are lucky to have 2 good men they can call dad," he added, signing off his message with a kiss.

Ms Katona retweeted both messages, and had earlier in the day declared her own admiration for Mr Kay's parenting skills.

As well as sharing custody of daughters Molly and Lily-Sue with Mr McFadden, Kerry has two children, Heidi and Max, with her second husband Mark Croft. Her fifth child, daughter DJ Rose, whose father is George, was born in April 2014.

A year ago, Vogue Williams, 29, who married Brian in September 2012 in Italy, had seemed dismissive of her predecessor.

She told the Irish Independent that Kerry "really isn't part of our lives. I don't know her. I've never met her. I never will".

However, Ms Williams said in a further interview with the same newspaper earlier this year that her relationship with Kerry was "fine".

"I'm not really one to be looking for an argument or getting all confrontational with anyone anyway – and these days regardless there is no confrontation or argument to have with Kerry," she explained.
