Ryan Giggs 'splits from wife Stacey after she caught him flirting with waitress'

Ryan Giggs has reportedly split from his wife Stacey after she allegedly caught him flirting with a waitress.
The former Manchester United star is said to be getting a divorce.
The couple are believed to have parted three months ago but continue to live in the same house.
The Welsh football star is accused of flirting with a waitress in a restaurant he owns in Manchester.
A source told the Irish Sun it was the last straw for Stacey (37), after she tried to maintain their marriage when her husband was linked to reality TV star and former Miss Wales, Imogen Thomas, and later with his brother's wife Natasha.
The 42-year-old has reportedly told friends: "It's over for good".
The Manchester United assistant manager apparently missed the Stoke match in February due to the split.
Stacey is believed to have told a friend: "There's no way back. Ryan and I are finished."
The couple tried to save their eight-year marriage after the revelation of Ryan's affairs for the sake of their two children.
“In the early days, once the flak over Natasha and Imogen Thomas passed over, Ryan and Stacey began building bridges and it looked really good for them," a source revealed to The Sun.
“But, as bizarre as it sounds, once they were out of the limelight and things had quietened down, their relationship started to struggle.
“Stacey obviously has trust issues after what happened with the affairs and that caused problems. And Ryan has now said to people he thinks the marriage is all over and that there is no saving it."

It is believed Ryan is worth over £23 (€29) million which his wife would be legally entitled to half of.
Giggs allegedly started a six-month affair with Imogen in 2010.
In 2011, Natasha told her husband Rhodri – Ryan’s younger brother – that she and Ryan had been sleeping together for eight years.
The football star publicly apologised to his brother in April 2015.
