Who was Sinéad O’Connor married to?
Barry Herridge
On December 9, 2011, Sinéad O’Connor tied the knot with therapist Barry Herridge.
The couple wedded each other in a small Las Vegas ceremony.
On December 28 of the same year, Sinéad announced she and Barry decided to separate.
At the time, the GRAMMY Award winner shared with fans via an official statement: "I had for reasons you will all understand, wished to keep this private 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.
"It was an extremely happy marriage. I'm heartbroken about it breaking up."
Nick Sommerlad
On August 17, 2001, Sinéad tied the knot for the second time with Nick Sommerlad; their wedding ceremony took place in Angelsea, Wales.
Sommerlad is a London-based journalist who works with the Daily Mirror.
In July 2001, the singer and the reporter parted ways and filed for divorce.
"Neither Sinéad nor Nick are apportioning any blame on each other and are both saddened by the pain that the split caused to themselves, family, and friends," an insider shared with the abovementioned publication.
"They fell madly in love when they first met. They were so hurt that for a long time, they kept up a pretense and denied any parting.
"But Sinéad knew this could not last and finally told her friends.
"Despite the huge love there is between them, they found that having married so early in the relationship was a pressure that neither could cope with.
"This was on top of the usual pressure of a rock star married to a media figure.
"Sinéad has told a number of friends that she will never get married again. It is like asking for trouble."
John Reynolds
From 1987 to 1991, Sinéad was married to her first husband John Reynolds.
A prolific record producer, Reynolds has crafted Sinéad's albums The Lion and the Cobra, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, and Universal Mother.
Aside from his work with former wife, Reynolds also produced records for Belinda Carlisle, Damien Rice, and The Corrs.
He is the father of Sinéad's eldest child Jake Reynolds; the former couple welcomed Jake on June 16, 1987.
