Who is Barry Herridge? Sinéad O’Connor’s husband
Sinéad O’Connor married therapist Barry Herridge on December 9, 2011.
The pair married in a tiny ceremony in Las Vegas.
Sinéad and Barry announced their separation on December 28 of the same year.
At the time, the GRAMMY Award winner told followers in an official statement, “I had wished to keep this private for reasons you will all understand, but have been told today it is to be leaked in the next few days despite my best efforts.”
“From the moment myself and my husband got together not long ago, there was intense pressure placed upon him by certain people in his life, not to be involved with me.
“Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over, the marriage was kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband’s life.
“And also by a bit of a wild ride I took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night, as I don’t drink.
“My husband was enormously wounded, and very badly affected by that experience, and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage.”
She explained: “It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me, he would be losing too much to bear. And that being with me was not going to serve him positively, career-wise, or any otherwise.
“I saw his life leave him because of how people close to him reacted. And I can’t take anyone’s life.
“And a woman wants to be a joy to her husband. So…U love someone? Set them free.”
However, it was revealed they reconciled on January 29, 2012.
