<\/p>\nJOEY Barton regularly stokes controversy by sharing his unpopular opinions online.<\/p>\n
The former\u00a0Manchester City\u00a0and\u00a0Newcastle United\u00a0star caused outrage in December 2023 when he claimed\u00a0women were not qualified to talk about men's game \u2014 here we take a look at his partner Georgia and their kids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joey Barton and Georgia McNeil were childhood sweethearts.<\/p>\n
Barton married longterm partner McNeil in a lavish ceremony at the Aynhoe Park country estate in Banbury, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n
The wedding took place on the fifth birthday of their daughter in 2019.<\/p>\n
Though Joey is known for being outspoken on social media, he shares much less about his partner and his private life in the public domain, so there is very little information about his wife available.<\/p>\n
According to reports Georgia is a professional fashion designer and stylist.<\/p>\n Joey and Georgia have two children together.<\/p>\n Cassius, their son, was born in 2011. <\/p>\n The couple's daughter Pieta was born in 2014.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Barton is a former footballer who played for teams including Manchester City, Newcastle, Queens Park Rangers and Rangers.<\/p>\n Joey started his 15-year playing career with Manchester City in 2002 after going through their youth system, going on to make 150 appearances for the club.<\/p>\n He then moved to Newcastle in a \u00a35.8million transfer in July 2007, before leaving for QPR in August 2011.<\/p>\n The midfielder was then put on loan to French side Marseille during the 2012-13 season, then making his way to Burnley for one season \u2014 helping the Clarets win promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n Barton made one appearance for England in 2007 \u2014 despite criticising some of his fellow teammates.<\/p>\n Joey also had a dismal six-month stint at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership in 2016.<\/p>\n Speaking about his time at Ibrox in April 2023, he said: \u201cEvery time I read a Scottish paper it\u2019s a case of \u2018Flop Barton\u2019. It\u2019s the only blot on my copybook as a player.<\/p>\n "Maybe there\u2019s only one thing for it and that means I\u2019ll have to go back to Scotland and take charge of Hibs, Aberdeen or Hearts \u2014 and ram it down the Old Firm\u2019s throats.\u201d<\/p>\n The footballer then began his management career with Fleetwood Town in June 2018.<\/p>\n But the Cod Army axed Joey after chairman Andy Pilley spent a few days reviewing the background of his fall out with striker Ched Evans.<\/p>\n A Fleetwood statement read: "Fleetwood Town can confirm manager Joey Barton has left the club with immediate effect.<\/p>\n "We would like to thank Joey for his work during his time at Highbury Stadium and wish him success in the future."<\/p>\n He became the manager of Bristol Rovers in February 2021.<\/p>\n But in October 2023 Joey was sacked by the League One outfit just weeks after he was slammed for comments about Luke Thomas, with fans accusing him of\u00a0"throwing his own player under the bus."<\/p>\n The decision also followed Barton's jibes at Steve Evans \u2014 he called the Stevenage manager a "fat man" and a "weeble" \u2014 after the 1-1 draw in October 2023.<\/p>\n A Rovers statement confirmed: "Bristol Rovers Football Club\u00a0can confirm that today the club has relieved First Team Manager\u00a0Joey Barton\u00a0of his duties.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MM-OFF-PLATFORM-woods-barton.jpg\")
