Ben Foden shares rare snap with wife Jackie who likes very racy comment about his manhood

Ben Foden shared a rare snap with his wife Jackie Belanoff Smith on Sunday as they joined pals to watch NY Jets kick off the football season.

The former rugby player, 37, who is based in America, took to Instagram to document the game with some behind-the-scenes photos at the Met Life stadium.

Jackie, who is proud mum to daughter Farrah, two, looked lovely in a ditzy print dress and filmed as they watched the match get under way from the stands.

Ben captioned the post: "Fun kick off to the @nyjets football season with our awesome friends, thanks so much for having us @diorisanna @cwj_nyc".

NY Jets lost 9 - 24 to their formidable opponents, Baltimore Ravens.

But while Ben had posted the seemingly innocent pictures, fans couldn't help make some X-rated comments - with Jackie showing her playful side by liking a string of remarks about his very tight white trousers.

Jackie clicked the love heart emoji to one who wrote: "What’s in Ben's trousers", and another follower that typed: "Dude, you are packing. Well done."

A third typed, rather crudely: "Big Bulge Ben".

The American socialite, 37, married rugby star Ben on the day he got divorced from The Saturdays singer in 2019 after a whirlwind romance.

Two years on the couple seem happier than ever – and Jackie recently said she has no worries about Ben straying.

She says his marriage to ex-wife Una was already “dead” when he was accused of cheating on her a few days before she gave birth to their son, Tadgh, now seven.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Jackie said: “People perceive Ben as some slimy, habitual cheater and it’s really not who he is. I don’t think Ben could possibly cheat on me.

“Everyone’s like, ‘He cheated on you with this beautiful, famous pop star – of course he could cheat on you,’. But that’s just not the dynamic we have.”

Jackie added that being a good-looking rugby player, Ben has always had women making advances towards him – and still gets topless women sliding into his DMs.

But she insists her and Ben “trust each other completely” and know each other’s passwords for their phones and iPads.

They even track each other on the Find My Friends app, and Jackie says she could go through his Instagram right now and wouldn’t find anything untoward.

Addressing him cheating on Una, Jackie said “depressed” Ben knew their marriage was over when he strayed.

Calling it a “moment of emotional escape”, she said although what he did was wrong, she understands why he did it.

She continued: “Do I think he would make the same mistake again, even if our relationship doesn’t work out? No.”

Describing their relationship as “very honest and open”, she said it was “frustrating” that Ben’s cheating is brought up constantly.

Jackie added every time she posts a photo on social media, she also gets compared to Ben’s ex Una.
