Capetown, Feb 19 (IANS) Former South Africa cricket captain Graeme Smith and his wife of three-and-a-half years, Irish singer Morgan Deane, have reportedly decided to end their marriage.
The couple have a two-year-old daughter and one-year-old son. The couple’s lawyer, David Becker, has confirmed that the couple are divorcing.
Smith tied the knot with Deane here in August 2011.

The website also quoted a friend saying that it was Deane who decided to end their marriage.
The 34-year-old played 117 Test matches for South Africa before retiring in 2014.
