Ryan Giggs has finally said sorry for the eight-year affair that destroyed his brother’s marriage, it has been reported.
The Manchester United legend finally apologised to brother Rhodri for bedding his wife.
The former footballer phoned his brother and they are now slowly rebuilding their relationship.
A source told The Sun: “Ryan rang Rhodri out of the blue a few weeks ago.
“Rhodri moved on a long time ago but he was never going to contact Ryan. He was adamant Ryan had to make the first move as he was the one who had done wrong.”
Ryan, 41, and Rhodri, 38, went clubbing at Manchester’s Neighbourhood bar on Easter Sunday.
A fellow guest said: “They were sitting in the VIP area and looked like they were enjoying each other’s company again.”
Rhodri’s life fell apart in 2011 when wife Natasha admitted an eight-year affair with the winger. She said she aborted Ryan’s baby weeks before she wed Rhodri in Las Vegas.
The bombshell confession came shortly after Ryan, now United’s assistant manager, admitted to an affair with Big Brother beauty Imogen Thomas.
Giggs spent £150,000 getting a High Court injunction trying to silence Imogen, but his bid fell apart when thousands of Twitter users shamed him and an MP named him in Parliament.
Natasha walked out of the home she shared with Rhodri in Bolton, and the brothers’ mum Lynne appeared to side with Ryan. Rhodri and Natasha tried to give their marriage another go but divorced in 2013.
Rhodri, who is three years younger than his older sibling, was previously manager of non-league side Salford City FC.
Rhodri opened up about the episode in a TV documentary saying: “He demolished my family for sex. Ive given up hope on speaking to him.”
Rhodri was earlier hauled before the courts after being caught driving with no insurance.
The 38-year-old was pulled over by police as he was driving his Mercedes C200 in Ardwick near Manchester.
And checks by officers revealed there was no policy covering him to drive the car, Eddie Coyle, prosecuting said.
Giggs, who has been working as a lorry driver, was convicted of the offence in his absence at a previous hearing, the Manchester Evening News reported.
Today he appeared at Manchester Magistrates Court for consideration of whether he should be disqualified as he already has six points on his licence for two speeding offences.
Following the hearing, he was banned from driving for six months and was ordered to pay £215 in fines and costs.
He said he would lose his job as a HGV driver for an agency if he lost his licence.
He also said he currently had no income as he hadn’t worked since Christmas.
He was asked if he wanted to bid to try and avoid a ban by pleading ‘exceptional hardship.’
And despite turning down the opportunity and accepting his punishment, he said: “I haven’t worked since December.
“I’ve been awaiting the outcome of this. It’s been difficult. They only allow certain people to drive for them. I will lose my job if I lost my licence.
“It’s not exceptional hardship but I would obviously have to find something else.”
