THE BACKSTORY
John split from his first wife, Suzie, in 2001 after ten years of marriage and four children - Jamie, Jemma, Jasmine, and Jordan.
Five years later, the star brought Andrea Barnes into the picture and they tied the knot in 2006. Their love seems to be waxing strong as the former Liverpool player has nothing but praises for her.
A MOTHER OF THREE
After her wedding to Barnes, Andrea became a proud mother of three children, daughters Isabelle and Tia, and son, Alexander, aged 6, 10 and 12, respectively.
John said he ruptured his patella while playing volleyball on his son Jamie's wedding day, and so, he had to stop playing sports.
The young father gushed when Andrea was pregnant with their third child together, which was his seventh child. The star was 47 at the time, and he said he felt good to be a father again.
A SUPPORTIVE WIFE
During Barnes' appearance on the "Celebrity Big Brother" show in 2018, he communicated how supportive his wife Andrea was after he entered an all-female house.
The star further explained that she was fine with his career path and believed it involved a friendly zone where he debated with his housemate, Ann Widdecombe. Her support seemed to be stretched more in recent times with Barnes' freak injury.
BARNES' FREAK INJURY
Andrea's support stands strong as she stayed with the football legend during his challenging times after a freak injury at his son's wedding over two years ago.
John said he ruptured his patella while playing volleyball on his son Jamie's wedding day, and so, he had to stop playing sports.
The former "Strictly" star also shared that he would have to do a rethink on taking on reality shows, as his knee still hurt from climbing staircases.
There is, however, a silver lining as the 56-year-old father said that as long as he hit the gym, jogged, and kept fit, he would be fine.
