‘You learn to put yourself before others’: Beau Ryan candidly discusses life as a family man five years after his alleged cheating scandal
Beau Ryan was at the centre of an alleged cheating scandal in 2015 with former children’s entertainer Lauren Brant.

He told The Daily Telegraph’s Stellar magazine that he has grown as a person since having children.

‘Having kids changes everything because you learn to put other people before yourself, which I never used to do when I was younger,’ he said.
Beau and Kara, who began dating when they were just 20, are doting parents to daughter Remi, seven, and son Jesse, three.
He said that he is aware of his responsibility to take care and provide for his wife and kids, often putting their needs ahead of his.

‘I’m sort of used to coming last now. Whether it’s food that’s left over or a chair to sit on, you’re the one who misses out. It’s just what you do,’ he added.
Beau’s selfless outlook at being a husband and fatherhood comes after news of his alleged affair with former Hi-5 star Lauren Brant.
Lauren’s then-fiance Warren Riley told Woman’s Day she had slept with Beau twice while the two were performing in a Sydney production of Aladdin And His Wondrous Lamp in July 2015.
