Snooker fans are closely watching developments surrounding Northern Ireland star Mark Allen and his wife, Sarah Herald, amid growing online speculation about their relationship.
Allen and Sarah Herald married in June 2025, but recent reports and social-media discussions have prompted questions about the current state of their marriage. However, there has been no confirmed public announcement from either Allen or Herald stating that they have filed for divorce or formally ended their marriage.
The speculation comes at a time when Allen has been away from several major snooker events. The World Snooker Tour confirmed that the former English Open champion was missing tournaments for personal reasons. BBC Sport reported that his absence had continued through several ranking events, but did not identify his personal circumstances.
Online discussions have nevertheless led some fans to connect Allen’s recent absence with rumours about his personal life. Such claims remain unverified and should not be treated as confirmation of a divorce.
Allen has previously experienced a divorce from his former wife, Kyla McGuigan. He later began a relationship with Sarah Herald, whom he married in 2025.
