Ryan Giggs has kicked his mother out of her house so he can move in to give his estranged wife some space, sources say.
The former Manchester United striker, 43, bought his mother Lynne a £1.5million house just few doors down from his family home in Worsley, Manchester.
But she will now move to a three-bed semi-detached house two miles away so Giggs can live near his children who will stay with ex-wife Stacey in the family mansion.
A source told The Sun: 'Giggs packed his bags and sought refuge in his mum's house to give Stacey some space, while still being close enough to their kids.
'But now he's made the move permanent. It's good for them as he's only two minutes down the road to check in on their kids.
'Stacey has been doing everything she can to move on with her life and make the most of her independence.
The pair are expected the finalise their divorce in a High Court hearing tomorrow.
Stacey finally called it quits on her 15 year marriage to the footballer after his reportedly flirty behaviour with a waitress at a local restaurant.
She had previously stood firmly by Ryan after endless infidelity rumours since their 2007 wedding, including highly-publicised affairs with his sister-in-law Natasha Giggs and Imogen Thomas - the affair which he spent £150,000 on to keep quiet.
