Ciara Janson, known for her role in Hollyoaks, has spoken out about her difficult divorce from her husband, Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw.
The actress, 37, who shares two sons with the singer, has made serious accusations about her husband’s behavior as their marriage comes to an end.
In a public post that shocked fans in Sweden, Ciara revealed the reasons behind their split, accusing Måns of emotional and physical abuse, infidelity, and drug use.
The Truth Behind the Divorce
In her Instagram post, Ciara explained that she had kept quiet for too long in an effort to protect her ex-husband, but now, with the breakdown of their marriage becoming public knowledge, she felt it was time to tell her side of the story.
She stated that the welfare of her children, Albert and Ossian, was her top priority, and she could no longer tolerate living in what she described as a hostile environment.
Ciara urged others in similar situations to seek help and regain control over their lives.
“I cannot allow my family to live in a hostile environment and be exposed to drug abuse, emotional, physical abuse, and endless infidelity anymore,” she wrote.
Despite the bitter split, Ciara expressed hope that Måns would seek help for his issues and wished him the best for his future.
Måns Zelmerlöw’s Lawyer Responds
The reaction from Måns Zelmerlöw’s lawyer, Hanna Lindblom, was swift.
In an interview with Sweden’s Expressen newspaper, Lindblom addressed the seriousness of the accusations made by Ciara.
While acknowledging that such claims are not uncommon during divorce proceedings, she emphasized the gravity of the situation.
The lawyer added that Måns’ primary focus is the well-being of his children, noting that his efforts are centered around maintaining stability for them during this difficult time.
The Journey From Love to Divorce
Måns and Ciara’s relationship began in 2016, and they married in 2019.
Their union was marked by the arrival of two sons, Albert and Ossian, but now, it appears their journey together has come to a heartbreaking end.
Ciara also has a son named Archie from a previous relationship.
The couple had been living in Staffanstorp, Sweden, but Ciara frequently traveled back to England to see her son from her earlier relationship.
Måns, a celebrated Swedish singer, won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 with his song Heroes, cementing his place in music history.
Despite the public nature of his career, Måns has kept his personal life relatively private until now.
The couple’s split is sure to draw attention, especially as Måns’ legal team works to manage the fallout.
Legal Steps and the Future
As the couple navigates their divorce under Swedish law, they face a mandatory six-month waiting period before the divorce can be finalized.
The decision to file for divorce was not an easy one for Måns, especially considering their young children, and a source close to the family has urged the public for understanding and privacy during this challenging time.
Ciara, who has become well-known for her role as Nicole Owen on Hollyoaks, and Måns, who continues to maintain a successful career after his Eurovision victory, now find themselves at a crossroads in their personal lives.
Despite the emotional toll of their divorce, both have expressed a desire to focus on their children and move forward in the healthiest way possible.
For now, the world watches as these two public figures navigate the next steps of their lives, with hopes for peace and healing in the future.
