Former Westlife singer Brian has offered his support to mother-of-five Kerry, who he was married to for four years.
The 35-year-old, who has children Molly and Lily-Sue with Kerry, also 35, told Now:
"It's sad for everybody but the most important thing is that Kerry's okay and the kids are okay, and they are - I've spoken to them."
He added, "I spoke to Kerry. That stuff happens but let's hope they can both go on and be happy and that's the end of it now.
"Kerry's had a rough run. Let's hope she can have a smoother run for the rest of her life.”
Last week reports claimed George had been arrested on suspicion of assault and for possession of a taser after a woman, believed to be Kerry, ‘sustained bruising to her face and arms’.
In a statement following the news, a spokesperson said:
“It is with deep sadness Kerry announces the end of her marriage to George Kay. Her focus now will be on her gorgeous children.”
Kerry, who was also previously married to taxi driver Mark Croft, is mum to Molly, 14, Lily-Sue, 12, Heidi, eight, and seven-year-old Max, and baby DJ from her marriage to George.
