New single Helen Skelton shares string of sweet family snaps after husband split

Helen Skelton shared a string of sweet family snaps after splitting from her husband Richie Myler.

The rugby player "left the family home" in April this year, just four months on from former Blue Peter presenter Helen giving birth to their third child together on December 28 2021.

Following the split, Richie was pictured enjoying a romantic stroll with his new girlfriend while Helen focused on her career.

Not long after returning to our TV screens, she took to Instagram to post adorable pictures of her with her children.

She shares Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and Elsie, five months, with Richie.

"Squad [heart emoji and smiling face with hearts emoji] these are the days. #family," she captioned the three separate photos.

In the first snap, Helen kneeled with one knee on the sports ground as she hugged Ernie from behind.

The second snap had little Louis chilling on Helen's hip as they both beamed for the camera.

The final snap had Helen lifting Elsie close to her face as they posed for a cute picture.

Fans were loving the family pictures and took to the comment section to compliment all four of them.

"Gorgeous photos Helen. Have a lovely weekend," one user said while another added: "What an awesome squad you have."

Another posted: "Little one is very sweet & the boys are growing up quite quickly. You are doing okay, stay positive & keep your chin held high. Best wishes xx"

"Your boys will remember who stood by them and how dignified you have been and remain. Hang on to that Helen. Better times are coming," one added.

Helen announced she and her husband are no longer together following an emotional statement on her Instagram story in April.

In her short statement, Helen penned: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home.

"We will be doing our best to co parent our small children."

It was revealed a few days after that Richie has since been dating Sophie Thirkill - the daughter of the Super League club's president.

Helen has made a handful of appearances since the couple parted ways, and she wowed her followers on Instagram as she shared snaps from her well-deserved day out at Royal Ascot recently.

The Countryfile presenter looked sensational in a pink wide-legged halterneck jumpsuit from luxury designer brand Me + Em, as she posed alongside her gal pals and clutched a glass of rose champagne.

“Day for it thanks for having us @slingsbysocial @the_royal_ascot #ascot #raceday #royalenclosure,” she captioned the slideshow of pictures, which revealed she had been invited to the coveted racing event by the Yorkshire-based booze brand Slingsby Gin.
