However, during his thriving football career as a Winger and striker, he attracted various celebrities and had relationships with multiple women.
Similarly, in early 2020, Kiernan Hughes was in a relationship with a woman who also had a young daughter with her former partner.
On February 14, 2020, police arrested Kiernan Hughes with the allegation of a*using his stepdaughter, whose identity is not available in the media due to privacy reasons.
Kiernan Hughes’s stepdaughter was in a coma for 14 days after the brutal abuse!
On January 31, 2020, Kiernan Hughes made a call to 999, asking for an ambulance, claiming his stepdaughter had an accident after falling from a dollhouse when he was downstairs.
When the police arrived at his home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, they found the two-year-old little girl conscious but unresponsive with multiple wounds on her body, including on her legs, back, face, and chest.

Her injuries made police suspicious of his earliest statement of his daughter falling from the dollhouse and injuring herself.
Further, police immediately sent the girl to the hospital and placed her in an induced coma, where she remained for 14 days.
After the examination of the little girl’s body, authorities claimed the injuries in the little girl’s body sustained between October 2019 and January 2020.
Moroever, Kiernan Hughes, who often explains how much he loved and cared for his stepdaughter, was found sending threatening messages to his ex-girlfriend, saying things like, “She’s actually getting on my nerves. I am going to hit her.“
Further, during his court hearing, the prosecution barrister confirmed Kiernan Hughes never thought of his ex-partner’s children as his own kids, as he always referred to her as ‘your children’ or ‘your child’ to the child’s mother.
