But his new wife found out he had been unfaithful earlier this month and promptly ended the relationship.
It comes after Loose Women’s Coleen — who was married to EastEnder Shane, 59, from 1990 to 1999 — told about the star’s own infidelity in their relationship.
Maddie is now living in Deal, Kent, while musician Shane Jr is based in Blackpool, near his family.
A source said: “It’s sad the relationship has come to an abrupt end so soon after they tied the knot.

"Shane admitted he’d cheated. Maddie can’t see any way back from the betrayal, so ended their marriage.
“Coleen is really upset as she adored Maddie and sees her as another daughter. She is disappointed to see history repeating itself. It’s a case of like father, like son.
“Maddie is heartbroken. She is standing firm on her decision to move on with her life. She would never be walked over.”
Shane Jr is said to have been throwing himself into his music career and gigs.

Last month, he spoke about wanting to start a family with Maddie, insisting he had changed his straying ways.
He said: “I love being married, I really do. I didn’t think it would change me, but it really has.”
In 2018, Coleen, 58, admitted she regretted staying with Shane Sr after he cheated.
She said: “I thought it was a blip and we’d have counselling and everything would be fine. If I could go back, I’d leave.
“I stayed two years too long. But I was massively in love with him. To me, there was nothing missing in our relationship.
“He’s said that too. He said he doesn’t really understand what happened. Well, he does — he wanted to have his cake and eat it.
“I loved him, but in the end I thought, ‘I’m not one of those women who keeps turning a blind eye’.
“I think we’ve done OK. We’ve stayed good friends.”
Maddie and Shane Jr did not comment.
