Una Healy's ex Ben Foden confirms he's married again - after two weeks of dating

Una Healy's ex husband Ben Foden has confirmed he's married again - after dating his new bride for just two weeks.

Sharing pictures of their happy union to Instagram , Ben said he'd finally found happiness after a tough and turbulent year during which he divorced the Saturdays singer.

34-year-old Ben said that Una, the mother of his two daughters, had even given her blessing for the marriage to New Yorker Jackie Belanoff.

Ben and Jackie shunned a conventional ceremony and said 'I do' on board a luxury yacht in Massachusetts.

In a statement Ben said: "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. The world has a funny way of working things out, many people think I’m a bad person - as I’m sure they’ll be many nasty comments left under this post by keyboard warriors a plenty.

"But I met a girl who seriously swept me off my feet and in a time of hardship showed me love, a deep devoted love. People will say we are mad or crazy or even fools, as @snackyjax and I had only been dating seriously for a little over 2 weeks before deciding to get married. But when someone like her comes in to your life, why would I wait?"

He went on: "The people who needed to know, such as close family and friends were told before anyone else and they are happy for me including my beautiful X wife @unahealy who I love even more for her blessing.

"Life is short and you only get one and it’s worth living. Jackie is the greatest human being I’ve ever come across - she’s beautiful inside and out, intelligent, charming, funny, generous, kind, gentle, energetic the list goes on.

"She will be a great step mum to Aoife and Tadhg and offers me a future I can’t wait to explore with her. My heart is full and I honestly couldn’t be happier, so those that want to bring negativity or try and tear me down go ahead. My life is great and I hope you all will one day feel happiness like i feel while I write this caption. I love you @snackyjax I can’t wait to see where our lives lead together you brought excitement and joy to my life and I couldn’t be prouder having stand at my side as Mrs Foden. "
