It was only yesterday that Queen Mummy blogger Constance Hall confirmed that she’d split with her husband Bill Mahon, after a well documented series of ups and lately, many more downs.
Sharing what she described as a”little update” on her life, she wrote that the decision to break up wasn’t one that was made lightly.
“Obviously he has been the love of my life but we just weren’t making each other happy anymore and have lived separate lives for so long now that it just seemed to fall that way.”
She added that although they still loved each other they’d stopped enjoying each other and the kids “stopped seeing happiness in their love, only contempt.”

Unfortunately, as is often the case with break-ups there are two hurt people involved - each with their own painful recollections of the events that led to the relationship’s demise.
Constance’s post prompted her disgruntled ex to weigh in writing comments on her social media post arguing that the split was far from amicable and that the popular warts and all blogger had left him for another man.
“Constance? So you blocked me off your page but not your new lovers that you ran away with. I haven’t seen the kids in four weeks. Stop lying about ‘I knew this was coming’,” he wrote.
“I’m over it but this is not a Queen!!!!!” added Bill, before the best selling author’s fans unleashed a swarm of comments defending their Queen bee. He promptly deleted his comment.
Today the 32-year-old mum has leapt to her own defence, penning another post where she vehemently denies Bill’s accusations - namely that she is keeping the children from seeing him and that she cheated on him with a man named Denim.
The popular blogger felts she had no choice but to reply
“Someone has obviously turned and I am being forced to defend my position,” she wrote.
“I wanted to keep things kind and respectful in the pubic eye, to protect my children and even to protect Bill, but there comes a time where I need to protect myself too.”
“A lot of trolling has come out and a lot of lies are being spread about the way my marriage ended and the way I am treating my ex.”
“Firstly, I have never ever kept my children from him. In fact the opposite, I have begged Bill to spend time with our kids, before I left, he was always too busy with work and now I have constantly asked the kids if they will come back to Perth to see him.”

Constance says that she believed Bill would be coming to the UK to introduce their children to his family and that it was only via his social media comments that she realised this wasn’t happening.
All above board according to the Queen Mummy blogger
Bill had also accused the mum-of-four of running off to Ireland with Denim, but she says this wasn’t the case.
“And the other man that I have supposedly “run off with” Denim, I can whole heartedly say that Bill and I were well and truly over well before I even developed any feelings for him,” she wrote.
In a January Insta post Constance sang Denim’s praises describing his children as “2 long blonde haired kids who’s skating skills defied the laws of gravity and who spoke kindly, respectfully to the younger less talented kids like mine.” She signed the post off by calling him a “King”.
Today she admitted that she is concerned about the impact all the drama is having on her new relationship, not only with Denim but also on his two children. Constance revealed the sad news that the boys had lost their mum to suicide a few years earlier.
“I am growing close Denim and his children and it saddens me so to see them all be trolled to this level due to some 2am lying rants from an ex husband determined to destroy me.”
“I absolutely never left Bill for anyone. I didn’t cheat on Bill with Denim. I tried and tried and tried with Bill, so many tears and so much trying. My family and friends know the truth.”
Blogger says she still values marriage
The stressed-out mum insists she valued her marriage and still values the relationship between her children and their father “above all”.
While this latest saga plays out there’s one thing the ex-partners seem to have forgotten. As a social media savvy pair do they not realise whatever they write now in the throes of a painful breakup will forever remain available for their children to read in the future?
There’s a lot to be said for sharing - especially when it’s done in a way that benefits others searching for comfort, but sometimes it’s just too much. The latest couple of posts tip more towards the latter category.
