Relationship with Niall
Niall is now a celebrity, while Greg has no significant career. Initially, they had a cordial relationship and Niall even served as the “best man” at Greg’s wedding in 2013. The media was amazed by the strong bond between the brothers during the wedding. Greg is married to Denise Kelly.
Financial Support and Social Media
In the past, Niall supported Greg financially when he was jobless. Greg has also shown constant support for his brother and the band, ‘One Direction,’ through his social media accounts.
Souring of Relationship
However, their relationship soured after Niall’s fame and success reached its peak. Ego clashes were believed to be the cause of their ruined relationship. In 2017, Niall reportedly cut off all communication with Greg, who was believed to be jobless at the time. A close family member stated that Greg was jealous of Niall’s success and couldn’t handle the fact that Niall had appeared on ‘The X Factor.’ Greg, on the other hand, has judged the Mullingar talent competition ‘Clarke’s Got Talent’ and has always considered himself to be the only star in the family.
Social Media Displeasure
When Greg lost his job and asked Niall for help, he was refused. This led Greg to express his displeasure towards Niall on social media. He later posted a statement saying that he no longer wanted his brother’s assistance and could find a job without any support. This wasn’t the first time Greg had posted something against Niall. In 2010, he had tweeted that he wished to be dead after being rejected by his brother, although the tweets were later deleted. Greg claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked.
Speculations and Career of Greg
Once news of Greg’s strained relationship with Niall became public, speculations about their ego clashes arose. Sources suggested that Greg had lost his brother to fame. It was previously reported that Niall had dismissed Greg when he asked for a job in his security team. As a result, Greg decided to make a career of his own. He managed to secure a job as a sales assistant in a Mullingar-based company and simultaneously built a social media fan following. He has also started reaching out to luxury brands for sponsored posts across social media. However, these controversies did not affect Niall’s fame, as he released his debut solo single, ‘This Town,’ amidst all the chaos.
Niall’s Relationship with Greg’s Son
Although Niall may not have helped Greg in his career, he has been a godfather to Greg’s son, Theo. Theo signed a modeling contract when he was just a year old and even inaugurated a store in Mullingar at the age of 17 months.
