The pair got engaged in 2018 and were due to wed in 2024, but they announced they would be separating after 13 years together and welcoming three children.
The couple share three children, and are reportedly co-parenting well to daughters Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, one.

Whilst she might be finding her feet as a newly single mum of three, Helen’s long term relationship saw her loved up with footballer Scott Sinclair for nearly 14 years.
The couple first began dating in 2009 when Helen was still a star in ITV’s Coronation Street, and the couple became engaged after Scott popped the question in a fairytale style engagement at Disneyland.
Sharing a snap from the moment he proposed with the ring, footballer Scott wrote on Instagram: “…She said YES!”
The pair chose to have a long engagement, from the proposal in 2018 and a date only just being decided for 2024.

But their happy romance wasn’t set to last with the couple splitting last year, shortly after Helen returned from filming ITV’s I’m A Celebrity’s all stars edition in South Africa.
At the time, a source said: “Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.
“They hit a rough patch in the summer and after she came back from South Africa their relationship ended.
“Helen and Scott are committed to co-parenting their kids, even if they are no longer a couple.”
Dating apps
Since becoming single after her relationship of 13 years ended, Helen is reported to be looking for love on celeb dating app Raya.
The app, which is exclusively for celebrities, has now reportedly accepted Helen after she uploaded a selfie whilst in Paris with her family.
In February, the stunning mum of three posted a picture of a pouting selfie, whilst another showed her showing off her slender figure in a black dress.
At the time a source told the Sun: “Helen has been feeling more and more positive about the future since the new year and feels ready to enjoy some nice dates and male company.”
And it seems she’s feeling sexy in her single life, because in January Helen revealed she was feeling “super confident and super sexy” after getting a boob job
Helen takes dating advice
Now she’s single, Helen has reportedly turned to fellow showbiz star Carol Vorderman for relationship advice.
It was the former Countdown star who reportedly helped Helen to make a final decision not to get back with her ex-fiancé and baby daddy Scott Sinclair.
Earlier this month, Helen and Scott were seen getting close again during a trip to Dubai where Helen wore her “engagement ring.”
However, the star turned to her pal Carol Vorderman, who she reportedly sees as “mother figure”.

An insider told The Sun: “Helen was at a crossroads in her relationship when she went into the jungle this time around.
“Carol became a kind of mother figure to the other campmates and Helen found herself opening up to her.
“She told Helen to follow her heart and put her children first. She advised that staying with someone just for the kids never works out. Of course they’ve got the kids and a huge history only time will tell if it’s over for good.”
