Before her tragic death at 56, legendary Irish singer Sinead O’Connor tied the knot four times – with one marriage lasting just 16 days. Despite never finding lasting romantic love, the Nothing Compares 2 U singer previously described her late son Shane as the ‘true love of her life’
Sinead O’Connor will forever be known as the voice of a generation in modern Ireland, quickly becoming a talented and defiant figure who helped make the Emerald Isle become relevant on the world stage before her tragic death at 56.
However, while the national treasure was thriving in her music career across the globe, Sinead sadly struggled to adjust to major life changes which fame and fortune brought into her life, and this ended up taking a toll on her romantic relationships.
After the release of her haunting 1990 track Nothing Compares 2 U, Sinead was catapulted into global fame and notoriety, something which she would later admit spun her life upside down in the most beautiful way – and the fame thanks to her unmatched talent, came endless romantic attention too.
At the time when Sinead achieved her first number one single in 1990, she was married to record producer John Reynolds. However, the couple who share son Jake together, separated the following a year in 1991.
