Michelle Heaton’s second husband Hugh Hanley is an Irish businessman.
Hugh currently works as the Chief Operating Officer at ESP Fitness, having graduated with a diploma in Sports Management from University College Dublin.
Although Hugh isn’t usually seen in the media, he recently opened up in an interview with Lorraine about his wife’s struggles with alcoholism and her time spent in rehab in early 2021.
Hugh said: “The last three or four years have been extremely tough knowing Michelle was in there but the addictions were ripping her apart.”
He added, “There were many times where I could have walked away, it would have been easier. There’s no getting away from it, life with an addict is extraordinarily hard. We’ve got a second chance.”
The couple met after Michelle’s short-lived marriage with Andy Scott-Lee ended and married just two years later in July 2010.
Hugh and Michelle have two children together.
Their first child, a daughter named Faith Michelle, was born on January 12, 2012, making her nine years old today.
They then welcomed a baby boy called Aaron Jay Hanley two years later on February 28, 2014.
