'He was too nice to trap': Sinead O'Connor ends her fourth marriage after just 16 days

By ANDREA MAGRATH



Split: Sinead O'Connor has ended her marriage to Barry Herridge, her fourth husband, after just 16 days



Sinead O'Connor has announced the end of her fourth marriage, which lasted just 16 days.

The singer, 45, wrote a lengthy and heartfelt message on her official website after fearing the news of her split from Barry Herridge, who she wed on December 8, was about to be leaked.

O'Connor revealed that she and Herridge actually lived together as husband and wife for just seven days before ending their relationship on Christmas Eve, 16 days after their Las Vegas union.



'I love him very much': The singer made the announcement on her website, revealing the couple only lived together for seven days



The Irish star blamed 'intense pressure' placed on her husband, who works as a counselor for people with addiction problems in Dublin, from his friends following their sudden Vegas union, which she revealed ended in a 'wild' journey to find marijuana.

O'Connor told her fans that the pair have parted amicably and said she still loves Herridge 'very much,' but that he was too nice 'to trap.'

She wrote: '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. These were people who had never met me but had formed opinions of me based on what they read about 'Sinead 'O'Connor' in the media etc.

'Entitled as they are to their opinions about me many perhaps well deserved, there was no righteousness on anyone's part to put my husband through what he was put through as a result of his desire to be with me and to marry me and as a result of his actually marrying me.

She met Barry after he replied to her online blog in September in which she said that she was 'sex-starved' and asked potential suitors to apply.

'Barry sent me this wonderful email, which just took my heart away,' she told the Irish Independent before flying out from Heathrow to the U.S yesterday.

'It had to be him... I had no intention of getting married again but Barry was extremely persuasive. He proposed to me on every single date we have had since August. He is extremely persuasive -- and other unprintable things.'



Another big love: Although Sinead and Frank Bonadio were only together for just over a year, they had a child together, son Yeshua
