Adam Johnson is now living a quiet family life in the North East, having largely retreated from public view since his release from prison. He has rebuilt his life alongside former partner Stacey Flounders, who is understood to have reconciled with him in recent years. Johnson was sentenced to six years in prison in 2016 for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old Sunderland supporter.
He served half of his sentence behind bars before being released on licence in March 2019. The offence happened in his Range Rover in January 2015 after he had groomed her using social media apps. Johnson remains on the sex offenders register, and he is not believed to be working, having accumulated significant wealth during his football career that's keeping his life afloat.
Adam is happy and he's been able to rebuild his life after everything he has been through.
Johnson and Flounders now share two children. According to Daily Mirror - News, Irene Welsh described Johnson as happy and able to rebuild his life after everything he has been through. According to Daily Mirror - News, Irene Welsh also described him as back with Stacey for a while now, concentrating on their children, keeping busy, and having many friends.
