Paul Young‘s four children refused to attend his recent wedding because they’re still grieving their late mother’s death.
The Eighties singer, 67, tied the knot with fiancée Lorna Young, 56, last Friday at a London registry office, six years since his wife Stacey lost her battle with cancer.
His daughters Levi, 36, Layla, 29, and sons Grady, 27, and Jude, 12, were conspicuous by their absence, leading fans to speculate why they were not involved.
WHY THE CHILDREN DIDN’T ATTEND
But a friend confirmed that Paul’s children would have found it ‘too painful’ to see him marry again and are still ‘hurting’ from their loss.
The friend said: ‘The children are still in deep grief from their mum.
‘They would have found it too painful to watch him marry again so they stayed away.
‘Attending such a big event where all eyes would be on them when they’re still in mourning would have been too much.
‘Both Paul and Lorna understood the decision.’
According to another family source, Paul’s children did celebrate with the newlyweds later that evening at their house, as well as the singer’s other family members from Luton, his hometown, in a more private setting.
However this has yet to be confirmed and his children, namely his two daughters who are active on Instagram, failed to mark the occasion on social media. They also do not follow Lorna.
