Los Angeles, Dec 13 (IANS) Singer Ronan Keating and his wife have bought a new home and hope to start afresh after his cheating scandal.

The ‘Boyzone’ star and his wife Yvonne separated in May and the couple was subsequently hit by claims that he had enjoyed a fling with a dancer during his tour in 2009.

The pair sparked rumours of a reconciliation after they were pictured cuddling affectionately during a day out in Sydney in October. The singer was working as a judge on Australia’s ‘The X Factor’.

The couple will celebrate Christmas in their new big house with their three children and hope to move on from the troubles they had in the past, reports aceshowbiz.com.

‘We’re moving into a new house. It’s such a stressful experience and trust me, I’ve been through some s**t. It’s a new start for us. Yvonne has done all the decorating in the house and has been brilliant at it. It’s a lovely new big house,’ said Keating.
