Stephen Gately Takes A Pounding By ‘Hubby’

Former Boyzone star Stephen Gately has spoken to The Mirror about the violent bust-up with his partner Andrew Cowles that saw the pair punching and kicking each other in the street, just two months after they “married” at a special ceremony in Las Vegas. “You know what it’s like - boys will be boys,” he said. “It only lasted a few minutes. We don’t really know what happened. It was over something really stupid and I can’t remember much of it. We were very tipsy and tired as we’d just got back from Dublin. Andrew’s getting the blame for whacking me but that’s not fair. I whacked him first.”
