Coleen Nolan’s son Shane accused of ignoring daughter amid seven-year feud

A fresh volley in the Nolan family feud centers on Shane Nolan, Coleen Nolan’s son, who is accused of ignoring his daughter amid a seven-year estrangement that has drawn in the former I’m a Celebrity... star and her extended family.

A post shared online by a person connected to Shane’s ex-partner suggested that the 36-year-old had not reached out to Amelia Rose, who was born in 2016, despite years of public dispute within the Nolans. The comment accused Shane of ignoring his daughter and implied that he had not attempted to let her know he loved her, calling that behavior revealing of a person who seeks contact only on their own terms. A source close to the situation reiterated that there has been "no contact between the little girl and the Nolans" for years, underscoring the scale of the rift.

The allegation sparked a back-and-forth between the parties online. Shane, who has previously fought back against criticism, publicly clapped back at the post, saying, "Ur a disgrace, how dare you! I didn't see her and did not know she was there." He also emphasized that he has been paying child maintenance for their daughter and that his contributions had even increased during the Coronavirus pandemic as circumstances allowed.

Emma Kivell, Amelia’s mother, responded with a highly critical post targeting Shane and Coleen, saying Amelia does not need the "toxicity and pettiness" of the Nolan family and accusing Shane of not having made any real effort to be involved in his daughter’s life. Emma alleged that Shane hadn’t asked about Amelia, hadn’t checked on her wellbeing, and that financial support had stopped during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and only resumed after court enforcement.

In her public comments, Emma claimed that Shane did not even know if Amelia was present when she was young and noted that she and Amelia’s own family were the ones offering stability and support. She also asserted that the Nolans’ involvement has contributed to a divisive environment for Amelia, adding that the girl would benefit from a caring, non-toxic network around her.

Shane’s romance was already a matter of public record from last year, when he announced that he had found love again with Kimberley Sallis, a mortgage manager who has a 12-year-old daughter. This personal development has been folded into broader discussions about Shane’s priorities and his willingness to maintain a relationship with his daughter, though Amyla’s guardianship and day-to-day life remain a point of contention between the two sides of the family.

Coleen Nolan, now 60, has a separate family arc unfolding as well. In June of the prior year, she revealed that her youngest son, Jake Roche, 32, was expecting a child with his fiancée, Georgia, signaling continued expansion of the Nolan family dynamics even as the older generations grapple with Amelia’s absence from family gatherings and events.

Daily Mail, which first reported on the rift and Amelia’s seven-year separation from the Nolans, said a representative for Shane had not yet commented on the latest allegations. The outlet has tracked the dispute as it has unfolded across social media and family circles, noting that the public dispute has intensified since the initial reports about Amelia’s absence.

The family’s dynamics are not new to public scrutiny. Shane and Emma reportedly met while working together as Bluecoats at a holiday resort, and Amelia’s birth in 2016 was witnessed by Coleen, adding a mixed layer of family history to the ongoing discussion about involvement, responsibility, and the long arc of a family dispute that has persisted for years. The latest round of allegations arrives as the Nolans navigate a complex blend of personal relationships, financial matters, and the evolving dynamics of a family that remains in the public eye.

As the story develops, Daily Mail has indicated that it sought comment from Coleen’s representatives, though there has been no additional confirmation from her camp at this time. The situation continues to unfold across social platforms, with each side presenting their perspective on Amelia Rose’s absence and the responsibilities of parental involvement within a high-profile family.
