Beyond my wildest dreams
Sharon’s ‘learned so much’ after split from husband
SHARON Corr “learned so much from the storm” of her marriage split from her ex-husband and feels so grateful in the aftermath.
The musician and singer-songwriter, 54, split from Belfast barrister Gavin Bonnar in 2019 after 19 years together.
The Dreams star admitted she loves being single and is one of the “happiest divorced women on the planet”. She also opened up about parenting son Cal, 18, and daughter Flori, who turns 17 this year. Sharon said: “I have learned so much from the storm of that and I am extremely grateful.
“It really, really pushed lessons in front of me that if I didn’t learn I would either stay on this safe fence or I would get off and do something about it.
“And I got off and I did something about it. I have taken my music career to different dimensions.” Sharon found it hard having the details of her divorce being made public, especially as the information wasn’t coming from her.
She told RTE: “I guess lot of my stuff was reported on quite heavily in the newspapers via the other people involved. It became news via the fact of who my ex had gotten involved with.”
But she’s not sure about wanting to tie the knot again. Sharon said: “My best friend would say to me, ‘Sharon, never say never don’t close the door’.
“I get that. It is such a hard journey and I say to myself, ‘Why would I ever do that to myself again’. I think if I wanted to be with somebody for the idea of what is ‘forever’ I wouldn’t get married, I would do something with friends to commit to each other.”
