Una Healy proves there's no bad blood with Ben Foden as she shares rare family snap

Una Healy has shared a sweet picture of her ex-husband, Ben Foden, with their kids as made a return to Ireland this week where Una, 41, and their children, Aoife, 11, and Tadgh, 8, live.

Former Saturday's singer Una split from Ben back in 2018, with the former rugby player being nowhere to be seen on her social media since.

However, Una proved that it's all water under the bridge for the former husband and wife as she took to Instagram to share the wholesome snap of Ben posing with his two children back in Ireland.

Ben, 37, and his new wife Jackie Smith split their time between England and New York while Una lives in her home place of Tipperary.

Ben swiftly moved on from Una to announce his engagement to American socialite Jackie, who he proposed to after two weeks of dating, married in 2019, and welcomed a daughter with in 2020.

Una was married to rugby ace Ben between 2012 and 2018 – and their relationship lasted 10 years overall.

The marriage collapsed amid rumours that Ben had been unfaithful – with the sportsman later confirming this was the case.

Una previously shared heartbreaking details of her life after divorce – describing how her children helped perk her up when she has caught herself feeling low about the collapse of her marriage to sports star Ben.

Speaking to The Sun’s Fabulous magazine back in 2020, Una opened up about the impact the collapse of her marriage had on her.

She explained that some days she would find herself surprised by her own resilience – but other days she would become overcome with emotion, and she says she is thankful to have her two children, who have helped her at her low points.

“When you’re in hell, you can’t go round it, you have to go through it. It’s the only way," she said.

“For the sake of the kids I had to stay strong. Obviously they’ve seen me upset, and there have been moments where I’ve just started crying, but both of them would come up and give me a hug or write little notes saying ‘I love you’ and I knew I had to pull myself out of it.

“Everything is for them. They are the most important thing in my life and I have to guide them now.”

Reflecting on her ex-husband’s new marriage, the All Fired Up singer says she was rattled by his new relationship.

Admitting she never envisaged divorce when she walked down the aisle in 2012, she said: “And when it doesn’t work out, it’s devastating. Totally devastating.

“So that was hard enough, but last summer when he got married again, that was a big shock to me. I was like: ‘Woah, what is this?’

“It was something else I had to get my head around. But life goes on, doesn’t it?”

Since splitting from Ben, Una was reportedly involved in a throuple relationship with David Haye and his girlfriend Sian Osborne.
