A bride who spent her wedding night behind bars after attacking her own mother with a stiletto is now living apart from her new husband, MailOnline can reveal.
Claire Goodbrand, 26, pleaded guilty to assault earlier this week after the incredible wedding night bust up in which her new husband Eamonn Goodbrand and the best man, Goodbrand’s brother, were also involved.
Today it emerged that despite taking Eamonn’s name the couple have been living in separate homes in recent months – though are understood to still see each other.
The Goodbrands’ wedding reception three years ago erupted into violence after hours of heavy drinking when a row began.
Bride Claire, herself a mother-of-four, seized her own mother Cherry-Ann Lindsay, 47, by the hair before hitting her with a stiletto and putting her hands around her throat.
‘She then grabbed me and put me in a choke hold. I couldn’t breathe. I thought I was going to die,’ Ms Lindsay said.

Now MailOnline has learned that the Goodbrands are living apart at two addresses in Glasgow.
After being approached Mr Goodrand repeatedly told a reporter to “leave”.
At the separate address a few miles away where she is living, Mrs Goodbrand refused to answer the door.
A neighbour said: ‘They don’t live together no. They’re at separate addresses a few miles apart and have been for a while. But they do still visit each other so it’s not clear what the state of the relationship is.’
The 33-year-old groom — a former professional boxer — and his brother Kieran, the best man, joined the brawl after Claire attacked her mother and assaulted Ms Linday’s partner, David Boyd, 40.
The brothers punched and kicked Mr Boyd, pushed their thumbs into his eyes, bit him and grabbed him by the neck.
Kieran Goodbrand also punched and kicked another guest, Garry Brown.

CCTV footage at The Vu wedding venue at Ballencrieff Toll, Bathgate, in West Lothian reportedly captured the fight spilling out onto the waterfront lawn after the couple tied the knot in June 2019.
Police were called and the bride, groom and best man, all from Uddingston, Lanarkshire, were arrested and held in custody.
Earlier this week, the couple as well as their best man all pleaded guilty to assault and injury charges at court.
At Livingston Sheriff Court Mrs Goodbrand pleaded guilty to assaulting her mother to injury.
She admitted repeatedly seizing her mother by the hair and punching and kicking her on the head and body, causing her to fall to the ground and strike her head.
She also admitted punching and kicking her mother to the head and body while she was on the ground, striking her on the head with a shoe and seizing her by the neck and restricting her breathing.

Eamonn Goodbrand and his brother, 28, both pleaded guilty to repeatedly punching and kicking Mr Boyd causing severe injury.
The charge states that they caused him to fall to the ground and continued their attack as he lay there.
They admitted pushing their thumbs into Mr Boyd’s eyes, biting him on the head and body and repeatedly seizing him by the neck and restricting his breathing, all to his severe injury.
Kieran Goodbrand also admitted assaulting Mr Brown to injury, by punching and kicking him on the head and body.
Sheriff Martin Edington called for criminal justice social work reports on the three and adjourned the case until April 29.
A fourth member of the Goodbrand family, Brendan, 37, pleaded not guilty to two assault charges. These were accepted by the Crown as he had left the venue before the fights started.

When they were released from custody, the bride was wearing what appeared to be her going-away outfit.
The groom and best man were dressed in prison-issue tracksuits — still wearing their mud-stained wedding shoes, and holding their blue ties.
Professional boxer Eammon Goodbrand, 33, had a plaster on a head injury when he was freed.
His 26-year-old wife was clutching a pink handbag.
Ms Lindsay said that the wedding day felt like ‘a sick joke’, with her bride daughter ‘swearing like a banshee’ and the boys ‘drinking beer and falling over each other’.
She sensed that there was ‘trouble brewing’ at the wedding, but did not expect it to escalate.
Ms Lindsay — a self-employed IT finance consultant — said that she is now living at an undisclosed address and does not want to see them.
‘I’ve moved away and I don’t want them to know where I am now,’ she said.
