Overview
- Scholes confirmed he reduced live TV work this year to maintain his 20-year-old son Aiden’s strict routine, which he says is essential to prevent distress.
- He said disruptions previously led to agitation, biting and scratching, prompting him to stop Thursday night Europa League duties that clashed with caregiving.
- Following his separation from Claire Froggatt, Scholes outlined a shared schedule of three nights each with Aiden, with Claire’s mother caring on Fridays.
- He described set weekly rituals—Tuesday swimming and pizza, a Thursday meal out, and a Sunday Tesco trip—that help Aiden navigate days without relying on time.
- Scholes has shifted toward flexible media work, including podcasting with Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness, and expressed concern about Aiden’s long-term care as he and Claire age.
