Mark Owen is set to be taken back by his forgiving wife Emma Ferguson following his recent confession to a string of affairs since they began dating six years ago.
The 38-year-old Take That singer has been at The Priory receiving treatment after admitting to his infidelities and confessing to alcohol problems. And when he leaves at the end of the month, Mark has agreed to marriage counselling sessions with Emma, who he married last November, and suggested they start trying for a third child.
A source blabbed to the Daily Mirror:
"Mark is itching to resume family life. He has not touched alcohol in five weeks and has done a lot of naval-gazing as well as receiving serious professional counsel.
"Emma knows he is a great dad. She has agreed to give their marriage one more try on the proviso he behaves himself, doesn't so much as look at another woman and attends marriage counselling. Mark has agreed to all her terms. And he has even suggested they try for another baby to cement their relationship."
Fellow Take That star Gary Barlow has shown his support to Mark, with the source adding:
"Another influence was Gary Barlow who has been a rock for both Emma and Mark. He's been telling Mark to pull his socks up. It was the talk he needed."
Mark, who has two children with Emma; 16-month-old daughter Willow Rose and son Elwood, three, is set to return to his marital home within the next five days.
