Helen Flanagan has called time on her relationship with Robbie Talbot, just over a year after they first got together.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, had previously said she wanted children with the ex-non-league footballer, 45. But friends say she now wants to focus on her career and raising her three children.
A source told The Sun: “They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
“She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ‘This isn’t working’. It was a grown-up chat.
“She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.”
Helen split from footballer Scott Sinclair — the father of her three children — in 2022. She met divorced dad Robbie in a bar just before filming E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Speaking about their first meeting, she said: “He’s really, really funny. And he had the balls to chat me up!”
Robbie moved into Helen’s Bolton home in September but left last month.
In January, Helen was given a six-month driving ban after her Audi — driven by Robbie at the time — was caught speeding twice in just over two weeks.
