Meet Mark Allen Wife, Kyla Mcguigan

In the snooker match between Mark Allen and Jamie Jones, the lead kept changing hands, and the match was closely contested during the first two sessions. They were tied at 4-4 and 8-8, leading to the decider on Wednesday. Although Jones had a good start with a break of 77, Allen responded with a brilliant break of 124 after Jones had hit two half-centuries. Jones still had a chance to win, but his performance faltered in the closing stages, allowing Allen to win the final three frames and secure a hard-fought victory. Allen is now set to face either John Higgins or Mark Selby in the last four.

Having turned professional in 2005, Mark Allen, a Northern Irish snooker player, quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the sport. His rise to success saw him reach the top 16 in just three seasons, and he made headlines by defeating Ronnie O’Sullivan in the 2009 World Championship before eventually losing to John Higgins in the semifinals.

Over the years, Allen has won nine ranking titles, including the 2018 Masters and the 2022 UK Championship. In the 2022-23 season, he reached a career-high ranking of number three in the world, having won three ranking titles and reached four ranking finals. A remarkable break-builder, he has compiled more than 550 century breaks and achieved two maximum breaks in his professional career.

Although Allen initially contemplated pursuing a career in football, he ultimately focused on snooker and won multiple titles as a junior player, aided by National Lottery funding. In his first year on the tour, Allen made a significant impact, reaching the last 32 of the 2005 UK Championship and the 2006 Welsh Open. He also qualified for the World Championship for the first time in 2007.

Despite his success, Allen has been involved in some controversy during his career. In the 2007 Grand Prix, he struck the side cushion of the table with his fist after the black wouldn’t go back on its spot, an incident which drew criticism from his opponent, Ken Doherty. The referee, however, did not issue a warning. Allen later accepted responsibility for his actions and acknowledged any potential repercussions.

Who Is Mark Allen Wife Kyla Mcguigan?

Mark Allen and Kyla McGuigan, who had been married for 7 years, reportedly ended their marriage in May 2020. The couple had tied the knot on May 10, 2013, after being in a relationship for two years. They first met each other in 2011 and welcomed their daughter Harleigh in 2017. Following their separation, Allen moved on and got engaged to Aideen Cassidy in 2022.

Before his marriage with McGuigan, Allen was in a relationship with Reanne Evans, a women’s world snooker champion, in 2005. They had a daughter in 2006 but their relationship ended in 2008. The breakup had a severe effect on Allen, leading him to fall into a deep depression and go through phases where he would not leave his home.
