Una Healy has revealed her ex-husband Ben Foden only sees their two children twice a year and she’s hoping the former rugby star will move back to the UK from the US
Una Healy’s ex-husband Ben Foden only sees their kids twice a year, the former Saturdays star has revealed. The pair went their separate ways back in 2018, and with Foden moving across to the US.
Healy moved on and was then said to be in a ‘throuple’ with David Haye before ending that relationship.
But there’s a glimmer of hope as the 43-year-old celeb said: “I get on with Ben as best I can for the sake of the children. I want them to love him and for him to be there as much as he can for them. It’s unfortunate that he lives so far away. ” She added, “We don’t have the ‘every other weekend’ set-up. He sees them at Christmas and in the summer.”
Although Una admitted her divorce from Ben – who also has Farrah, four, and 12-month-old Olympia with wife Jackie Belanoff-Smith -was “difficult”, she insisted she has moved on, though she is “very happy on her own”.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re in the public eye or not, divorce is a difficult, heartbreaking process. But you move on – there’s no point in dwelling on the past.”
The 43-year-old star – who recently split from retired jockey Aidan Coleman – does hope to find love again one day but she is content with life at the moment.
She said: “There’s a lot of emphasis on romantic relationships, but a lot of my childhood friends, who have been through everything with me, are like my soulmates. One day, yes, I would like to find my person, but I’m very whole as I am, with my beautiful children.”
Though she can currently be seen taking part in ‘Celebrity Bear Hunt’, Una insisted her life these days is very “normal”.
She said: “My life is so… normal. I’m living in the house I grew up in. Aoife goes to my old school, and Tadhg goes to the boys’ school in town. They’re proper Irish kids now, though they were born in the UK. Tadhg loves his hurling. It’s very cute.
“They love it here. They’re really happy and it’s a quiet, slow-paced life. My two don’t even remember The Saturdays. I’m not ‘cool’, I’m just ‘Mammy’ here.”
Ben and Jackie tied the knot in August 2019.
X Factor: Celebrity star Ben and Jackie made their love official just two weeks after getting together. When he broke the news on Instagram, he shared: “This last year has been by far my toughest and most turbulent for a number of reasons that many of you I’m sure are aware of, in some way or another.”
