The childhood sweethearts share three children: Nicole, 19, and their sons Patrick, 16, and Shane, 15.
Over the years, Shane has often shared glimpses of his close-knit family life, both during and outside of his Westlife career.
“I know firsthand the devastating impact cancer can have on a family, as I lost my mum and dad to the disease just nine months apart,” he shared.
“I miss them every day, but I know they would be incredibly proud of my work today with Relay For Life,” he added as he spoke about the 24-hour event which was being held in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
“It’s hard to believe, but one in two of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime.
“While every three minutes, someone in Ireland is hearing the words, ‘You’ve got cancer’.
“The funds raised through Relay For Life helps ensure no one has to face a cancer diagnosis alone.
