However they split-up in 1998, after Lee reportedly kicked Anderson while she was holding their younger son. Despite that fact and the relationship ended, Lee and Anderson got back together for a short period of time after Tommy was released from prison having served six months as a consequence, but separated again in 2001. However, their relationship had yet more ups and downs – in 2008 it was revealed they were back together, but in the upcoming period, they put an end to it for good.
