Shane Richie's son 'splits from Miss Great Britain wife' after cheating claims
EastEnders star Shane Richie's son Shane Jr and his Miss Great Britain wife Maddie Wahdan have ended their marriage amid cheating claims, it has been reported.
In July 2022, the 35-year-old tied the knot to the brunette beauty in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family. The pair had been together for six years before getting married at Rushton Hall in Kettering.
But now the couple has decided to go their separate ways. It comes after Shane reportedly admitted to seeing another woman while being in a committed relationship. A source claims that it was the beauty pageant star who initiated the break-up after she was left feeling 'heartbroken' over her husband's infidelity.
The source told The Sun: "It’s sad the relationship has come to an abrupt end so soon after they tied the knot. Shane admitted he’d cheated. Maddie can’t see any way back from the betrayal, so ended their marriage.

It’s a case of like father, like son. Maddie is heartbroken. She is standing firm on her decision to move on with her life. She would never be walked over."

According to the report, Shane and Maddie are now living separately. The musician is staying in Blackpool near his family, while Maddie resides in Kent. Shane Jr is said to have been throwing himself into his music career and gigs.
The betrayal echoes his parent's own love story. Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie were married from 1990 to 1999, but their union was plagued by infidelity on both sides. The ex-couple share two sons together, Shane Jr, 35, and Jake, 31.
In 2012, Coleen told the Daily Star how her divorce from Shane eventually brought her peace. "I'm in a much happier place now than when I was married to Shane – I don't have to worry about what he gets up to any more," she said.
Shane told the Guardian there was 'no excuse' for his behaviour, especially as he was the host of wedding show, Love Me Do, which promoted monogamy. "What I did to Coleen was unforgivable and I could never apologise enough," he said. "And I was pulling the wool over the public's eyes, so what do you think was going to happen?" Coleen has since moved on with her partner Michael Jones, while soap star Shane is married to wife Christie Goddard whom he wed back in 2007.
