“S***,” as Ronnie O’Sullivan’s daughter Taylor-Ann Magnus puts it, calls him “broke my heart.”
The heartbroken daughter of snooker great Ronnie O’Sullivan has disclosed that her father has never once made an effort to see his 21-month-old granddaughter.
The 44-year-old had said how happy he was to become a grandfather at the age of 42 and how eager he was to meet little Zarah-Ann.

However, Ronnie’s daughter Taylor-Ann Magnus has revealed in an exclusive interview with this publication that the singer has rejected her attempts to introduce the toddler to him and that he has only ever communicated with her via a friend.
Taylor-Ann, 23, is the daughter of Ronnie and Sally-Ann Magnus, with whom he dated for a year in the 1990s.
When Ronnie’s parents were imprisoned in 1996—his mother for tax evasion and his father for murder—Sally-Ann moved into the family house.
However, Sally-Ann was booted out by Ronnie’s brash Italian mother Maria after her release from jail, and their relationship ended.
Taylor-Ann and her father haven’t really had a connection at all since.
About cue ace Ronnie, who begins his quest for a sixth World Championship tonight, she remarked, “As far as I’m concerned, he might be world champion to some, but he’s not fit to be called ‘Dad,’ let alone ‘Grandad.'”
“Zarah-Ann won’t know his true identity as she grows up. He has made a lot of promises, but there is a big difference between what he says and does.
The 23-year-old has only ever had 12 encounters with her father, and even on those infrequent occasions, he made time to charge her of using him as a money machine.
He’s given a lot of promises, yet there’s a big gap between his words and actions.

Additionally, Taylor-Ann has sent Ronnie a rocket as he dazzles fans with his skills at the Crucible this week: “Having a really s**t parent like you has shown me what is important in life.”
“I’ve grown from your errors and understand what counts most.
“I appreciate that; it’s the only worthwhile item you’ve ever given me.”
Today, she talks about how sad she is that her hopes of a reconciliation with Ronnie were shattered after he made it known that he wanted to see his grandchild.
Less than two years ago, he stated in an interview with this publication, “Taylor and I are not as close as we’d like to be.”
“I’d love to be involved in my granddaughter’s life, and at some point it might correct itself.”
“When I read that Dad had said he wanted to see Zarah, I thought there was a chance we could be a normal family and he could be a grandpa to her,” said Taylor-Ann, who gave birth in October 2018.
“I believe I’ve been waiting for my dad my entire life—I’ve always hoped for a better, closer, and more loving connection with him.
In the past, Ronnie had shown his happiness at 42Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd. “His friend called me a few times and said Ronnie was really excited about being a grandad.”
“I should have realized better than to let my expectations rise.
“He expressed his sadness to a few reporters about our distance from one another and his need to meet my kid, but that was almost all he said. It was only a performance.
He never once got in touch with me directly. My heart was broken by it.
Taylor-Ann, who has won more than £11 million in prizes, has now turned her back on her father after becoming enraged and disillusioned with his cold-hearted indifference.
“I’ve erased his number and moved on,” she declares. I was unable to provide any images or videos of Zarah-Ann. I just had to give up thinking about whether or not he would want to be involved in her life.
Taylor-Ann has never been comfortable with her dad’s lack of communication.
It was a continual source of bewilderment and sadness for her, she claimed.
As a youngster, dealing with distant and challenging parents can be challenging, but you often end up blaming yourself, believing that you were at fault since they were unwilling to get to know you.
“Having my own daughter has made all that suffering much more relatable.
“DRUGS AND CRIME”Actually, I owe Ronnie a debt of gratitude for teaching me how to be a better father than he could ever hope to be.
“My daughter will never want for my attention, even though I don’t have his millions.
“She will be wealthier for having her parents’ love and support throughout her life. I can attest from personal experience that time and love are priceless gifts that cannot be purchased with money.
Regretfully, I don’t believe my father gets it. He’s stuck in a world where he believes everyone, including me, just wants him for his wealth, even though all I wanted was a father.”
In order to support Zarah-Ann and her partner, 24-year-old Naihan Chowdhury, Taylor-Ann works part-time as an Uber driver.
The pair became together while working together to distribute auto parts. The little family just relocated from their one-bedroom apartment in Romford, Essex, to a somewhat larger one around the corner when Naihan was promoted.
“Having Zarah-Ann has completed us,” she remarked. We both adore her dearly. She has provided so much happiness. We are a typical little family trying to provide the best possible start for our daughter.
“I’m so proud of Naihan just looking at him with her.”
“He’ll never be wealthy like my dad, but I feel sorry for my dad because he’s lost so much.”
individuals are really anxious to win the lottery or gain millions of dollars, yet from what I’ve observed, greed, money, and selfishness kill individuals.
“I enjoy driving for Uber, but I would never put my dad in the back of my car if he ever needed a lift.”
“My father used to say, ‘I don’t like to be told what to do.'” When someone gives me instructions, I immediately say, “Fk you.” I simply cannot handle it. Though I wish I weren’t, that’s just who I am.
“It made sense when I read that,” Taylor-Ann clarified. I sensed that was his response upon learning he was my father.
