London, May 31 (IANS) Ronan Keating's wife has agreed to give the singer a second chance to save their marriage, which is going through a rough patch after his infidelities were exposed.

Yvonne Keating is close to agreeing a deal to move the family to Australia for a while over summer, so the singer can stay in close contact with his three children, while he films the Australian version of talent show "X Factor".

She has also allowed Ronan to stay in the 2.5 million pounds mansion they share in Dublin - but has banished him to a spare bedroom.

"Yvonne is still absolutely furious but all Ronan's friends are trying to make her realise there is a way forward," newsoftheworld.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"Ronan has held his hands up, admitted he's acted appallingly but promised he'll change if Yvonne gives him just one more chance. There are positive signs for Ronan but Yvonne hasn't made a final decision yet.

"She also believes it would be nearly impossible for her to trust Ronan when he's on the road.

"But she feels the children have been through enough. Spending some time with their mum and dad on the other side of the world might do them all some good," the source added.
