Coleen Nolan’s son Shane accused of ignoring daughter as family feud intensifies

A family dispute involving Coleen Nolan and her son Shane has resurfaced amid accusations that Shane is ignoring his own daughter, Amelia Rose, as tensions between the Nolans and Amelia’s mother, Emma Kivell, escalate. The ongoing rift centers on years of perceived toxicity and has left Amelia without contact with the Nolans for about seven years, a detail highlighted in reports about the case.

The latest burst of contention began after Emma Kivell publicly accused Shane of failing to stay connected with his child, saying there has been “no contact between the little girl and the Nolans.” She attacked what she described as the Nolans’ “toxicity and pettiness,” and named Coleen in a pointed social media post. In response, Shane, 36, pushed back online, insisting that he had not only maintained contact but also supported his daughter financially, and that he did not know Amelia was present at a recent event when criticized. He stated: “I didn’t see her and did not know she was there,” while defending his broader involvement and accountability.

Shane later addressed the maintenance question directly, saying he had been paying child maintenance for Amelia and had increased contributions after challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. He told fans that he would never fail to support his daughter and that he and his family miss her and hope for a day when she can be part of their lives.

Emma Kivell did not hold back in her online reply to Shane’s statements. She argued that Amelia “doesn’t need your toxicity” and asserted that Shane has not made meaningful efforts to be involved in her daughter’s life. In a lengthy post, she recounted episodes where Amelia would “wait by the door for a dad who often wouldn’t turn,” and she criticized the alleged lack of access to the child during the height of the pandemic. Emma asserted that Coleen and the Nolans had their own version of events and claimed that the truth could reveal a different narrative, hinting at forthcoming comments in time.

The couple’s history is rooted in their shared work as Bluecoats at a holiday resort, where Emma and Shane met. Amelia was born in 2016, with Coleen reportedly present at the birth. While the dispute centers on Amelia’s upbringing and involvement, the family has publicly acknowledged a separate set of life updates. Last summer, Shane disclosed that he had begun a new relationship with Kimberley Sallis, a mortgage manager who already has a 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. In June of the prior year, Coleen announced that her youngest son, Jake Roche, then 32, was expecting a child with his fiancée Georgia.

Representatives for Coleen were not immediately available for comment when the Daily Mail reached out about the dispute. The ongoing public dialogue illustrates how deeply personal family matters can become when they intersect with celebrity profiles, custody discussions, and the expectations of fans following the Nolans’ long-running presence in the entertainment industry.
