Cork singer Morgan Deane reportedly found out her husband wanted a divorce when he mistakenly sent her a text he’d meant to send to his lawyer.
According to reports, Morgan has been left devastated by the news having believed the former South African cricket captain wanted to save their marriage.
The former Industry band member had a whirlwind romance with Graeme back in 2011, when the sports star proposed after just two months.

The brunette quickly relocated to South Africa and had two children with the sports star, a girl Cadence and a boy Carter.
Graeme who retired from the game last year – has been following the South African team at the Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in recent weeks.
Friends of Morgan’s have accused the South African hero of “abandoning” his family in favour of touring and partying with his mates.

The former Jedward backing singer believed that her husband was keen to make their marriage work after he had agreed to attend couple counselling sessions.
Minutes after reassuring her that their relationship could be saved, Morgan learned that he wanted a divorce in a text message he’d mistakenly sent to her.
However Graeme has since denied the claims.
The situation came to a head after the Irish songstress returned to Cape Town after a holiday to catch up with her family where an intermediary gave her the contact number of a lawyer.

Graeme is said to have text the mediator asking why ‘Morgan had been informed, because he wanted to tell her himself’.
Speaking with South Africa’s Sunday Times an insider said: “She does everything for her children, but she can’t believe how he has treated her.
“Her whole life was his life, his friends were her friends and she has just been left on her own with the kids,” the insider added.

News of their divorce only came to light two weeks ago but it looks like the damage has been done as Graeme’s agent confirmed their split.
Issuing a joint statement last night from the couple, it emphasised that their marriage “has broken down purely due to irreconcilable differences”.
‘We understand that there will be speculation as regards the breakdown of our marriage … [and] would once again request that our privacy is respected during this difficult time.
“As parents we continue to have the deepest respect for each other and our ongoing priority remains the security, happiness and best interests of our children,” the statement read.
