Ronan Keating has hit back at his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly who previously said her kids where used to him being absent from the house.
The pair split after the Boyzone star’s affair with backing dancer Francine Cornell, however Ronan has insisted that he was “a very good father” and worked hard to support his family.
“I do have a major problem with what she said about (me being an absent father). That was ridiculous,” he said.

“I worked very, very hard and I was a very good father. I provided in every way.”
“If I didn’t work nobody had any money, nobody has a life. I think possibly her saying that was the hurt of the moment coming out,” he told the Sunday Independent.
The Dublin native insisted that he enjoys a great relationship with his three children Jack, Missy and Ali.
“I have a great relationship with my kids. I think it’s not right for herself and myself to have a battle in public like this.”

Meanwhile, Ronan admitted that his divorce had a big impact on his wealth.
“I’m not incredibly wealthy. When you go through a divorce that diminishes rapidly, because you’re supporting more than one household,” he explained.
“I have had a very wonderful life, a long and wonderful career, and I feel very blessed.”
