Una Healy’s ex-husband Ben Foden has confirmed he has married Jackie Belanoff, his girlfriend of two weeks, with the Saturdays’ star’s blessing.
Ben, 34, confirmed the rumours that he had once again tied the knot as he shared a series of photos of the wedding aboard a boat in Massachusetts.
He told his followers: ‘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 [sic] 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? 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.’
He added that he believes Jackie will be a great addition to the family and stepmother to his two children with Una, seven-year-old daughter Aoife and 4-year-old son Tadhg.
He added: ‘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.’
Una, 37, and Ben had married in 2012 after four years of dating, but the couple split in 2018 after Ben admitted to cheating.
He admitted his infidelity on an episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, explaining: ‘My life’s a bit of a mess. I’ll always love Una. She’s my first love and the mother of my kids.
‘I never meant to hurt her in the way I did. At the same time, it wasn’t the only reason for our divorce to go through.
‘It’s not ideal, but we’re very amicable, we’re getting through it, we’re not the first people in the world to get divorced. We’ve got two little kids we adore.
‘At the moment anything that’s published about me is never very good and pretty rightly so because I was the one who committed adultery.’
Ben has been living in America since the split, having signed to Rugby United New York, and Jackie is a native of the Big Apple, running her own business called The Goddess Line, selling aromatherapy products.
