Yvonne Connolly

Yvonne was born in Naas Co.Kildare on the 8th February 1974. Her parents are Michael and Ann Connolly. She also has a brother James who is about 2 years older than her. Yvonne grew up in the country and had a very sheltered life. She and her Mum shared a big passion for horses. At the age of 12 Yvonne was sent to a boarding school and has said that she didn't really enjoy it. Stating that she lived for the weekends when she would ride and show jump her horses and it was also when she got time to see her 2 best friends Adele and Cecily, who also shared an interest for horses.
Her Mum Ann works in a Antiques shop called Grannies Attic in Naas and her Dad Michael is a business man. Yvonne brother James Connolly is married to Linda who is Jacks God-Mother. James and Linda have two children James aged about 7 and Jilly about 4. James works with his Father. Yvonne has stated that she gets on very well with her parents and her brother.
At the age of 18 Yvonne went to Cardiff University in Wales, she was studying to be a physiotherapist, although Yvonne made new friends in Wales, she missed her family & friends that much that she returned back to Ireland a couple of months into the course. Her best friend Cecily let Yvonne come and work in her beauty Salon and it was there that Yvonne was found by the Emerald Isle Modeling Agency where she worked as a model. Yvonne had long blonde curly hair & when she cut it, it did her image a lot of good, making her a Super Model and Ireland best.

Yvonne Keating

Yvonne Connolly, became Yvonne Keating on 30th April 1998, when she married our Ronan Keating. They had both previously met at a shop in Naas when the were teenagers. Ronan was working with his Dad delivering fizzy drinks and Yvonne was stood outside, Ronan described her as a pretty thing, with pig tails & braces on her teeth dressed in the full horse gear. She smiled at one another & said hello. Ronan's Dad Gerry commented on how nice she was and that was it!
It was then early 1997, when a friend of Ronan's introduced him to Yvonne in the Chocolate bar, Dublin. They became good friends and later realised that they had once met as teenagers and it wasn't long after that, that Ronan realised his love for this women. He told her one evening and discovered that she felt exactly the same! They became a couple in late 1997, but Ronan's mother Marie became ill with breast cancer and this put a strain on their relationship and I have reason to believe that they separated for a while. In this time Yvonne became attached to formula one ace Eddie Irvine, eventually Ronan and Yvonne worked through their problems and were stronger than ever. It was in 2 February 1998 that Ronan would need Yvonne like never before, when sadly his mother passed away!
When March time came, Ronan realised that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this women and proposed to her on bended knee in his bedroom!!! Once the Irish model had realised he was serious, she was more than happy to become his wife. The couple had planned to marry in Florida with their best friends Glin & Elaine Donnolly, but in April following the death of Ronans Nanny and Cousin Ronan need to take a break, so the couple went to the Caribbean isle of Nevis, where they decided to marry early!

RONAN'S LOVE STORY
There's no point in doodling 'Mrs Ronan Keating'on your folders any more - Yvonne's beaten you to him .In this exclusive interview,RONAN talks to Top of the Pops about his life with the Woman he calls "the best in the World".

Are you enjoying life being a husband, then?
(grinning from ear to ear) Ah, you don't have to ask that, do you? It's wonderful. It's perfect- everything I ever wanted,or expected,and more. Yvonne is my partner and My Best Friend - I'm happy.

Remind us. How long have you known each other?
We first met when I was 14. I used to help me da driving around, doing deleveries. I met her then, I liked her, but we lost touch. We met up again about two years ago now, became good friends, best mates. When I realised how I felt I had to tell her or say goodbye - So I told her.

What do you remember about your wedding day?
We were on Nevis Isle. I played golf in the morning with my brother Gary, went back, changed, went down to the beach and waited.

It wasn't really spur of the moment, was it?
We'd planned to get married in June. We thought why waityes,we did know before we flew out to the Caribbean. We'd had rings made. We designed them ourselves - they're platinum. Mine has holes in it and Yvonne had diamonds set in the holes, and engagment and Wedding ring in one. It's Beautiful.

Were you angry the tabloids got pictures of your wedding?
No, I set it up. I wanted people to know we had done it, but I wanted to be in control. We needed to get married abroad. Maybe one day we will redo our vows at church in Ireland, but we wanted it to be private and it was. The weddung got a scary amount of coverage though.what was it for? I mean, who the hell am I?

Talking of which, how is the new Mrs Keating dealing with the spotlight?
She went to the Ivor Novello Awards on my behalf and it was hard for her. She's a very down -to -earth person and I think she will settle to it, but it will take a while. Jeez, even I'm not used to the spotlight yet.

Have you been apart much since the Big Day?
No, we make time for eachother. Yvonne's come out on Boyzone trips and she understands I need to work. I have to work. I just wish we had more time for romantic dinners when we're away - nice restaurants,candles,good wine...

Will Yvonne carry on with her modelling career?
I don't know how this will affect Yvonne's career. I'm not saying my career is more inportant cos it's not by any means but it's easier for Yvonne to get time off.

Are your wild days as a party animal over?
Ah, Yvonne likes to party. We were out last night and we're feeling the effects of it this morning! We'll just be going out and having fun,doing the same things we always did. I'll not be settling down with me slippers just yet!

Do you confide in Yvonne now instead of Shane?
Everything moves on whether you want it to or not. I was never one for big deep chats anyway, I didn't go and cry on anyone's shoulder. But yeah, Yvonne's my partner and my best friend. I talk to her before anyone else.

Do you feel your loyalties pulled in two direction?
No,I think we balance things well. But sometimes it's hard. The album launch party was a great night for Yvonne. I was working, we hardly get to spend any time together, we didn't even get the chance to enjoy the Dodgems.

How will you combine work and marriage?
The key to a succseful relashionship is to do everything together. We know That, but it won't change the way Boyzone Works. The lads give each other more space these days.But we're still Boyzone. We will still go to the same places, but now we bring our partners with us. We're not splitting up. We're working towards the Arena tour and the greatest Hits album. We've plenty to do...

Ronan Was Driven To Drink
December 28,
Boyzone star Ronan Keating was driven to drink by the death of his mum Marie from cancer in 1998.
Ronan was thrown into the depths of depression after his mother's long battle with illness took its toll on him.

He says, "I wasn't falling around on the street, it wasn't anything like that. But every night I had a good few drinks, it became a habit. Mam was sick for a year and it was quite a difficult time for us. I would have walked away from Boyzone, I thought it was all over."

And Ronan credits his wife Yvonne for pulling him through his tough times.

He adds, "She brought me back onto the straight and narrow. She told me to get my head together and sorted me out. I had just lost my way." -- WENN
