The ex-wife of Ben Cohen, Abby Cohen, has hit out at her former husband, just days after it was revealed that he and Kristina Rihanoff had split.
Abby and Ben, 46, were married for 13 years before their divorce in 2016. They had two children together.
Ben Cohen’s romances with Abby and Kristina Rihanoff
Ben and Abby, 47, tied the knot in 2003, before welcoming twin daughters in 2008. In 2013, Ben appeared on Strictly and was partnered up with Kristina.
A few months after his Strictly stint, Ben and Abby split, with their divorce being finalised in 2016. In 2016, Ben and Kristina, 47, who had begun a romance, welcomed their daughter, Milena.
However, despite announcing their engagement in 2022, Ben and Kristina called it quits on their romance earlier this month. It was reported that financial difficulties tore their relationship apart.
“This will be like karma for Abby, she was so upset when Ben left her. It’s like he has got his comeuppance,” a source claimed to The Sun recently.

Ex-wife Abby slams Ben Cohen
Now, in an interview with the MailOnline, Abby has lashed out at her ex-husband – and has even accused him of not reaching out to help her “at all” when she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
Abby received her diagnosis in 2023, however thankfully she was given the all-clear a few months later.
I’m sad for Ben. I do feel sorry for him.
When asked in the new interview if her diagnosis had changed her relationship with Ben, she said: “Not at all. There was maybe one text message.”
She then took a swipe at Ben, saying: “I’m sad for Ben. I do feel sorry for him. Our marriage broke down and it’s happening all over again to him, and he’s got another child.
“He’s got to start again from nothing, in his late forties. He’s going from being so successful as a rugby player to [people] now reading of his business failures,” she then added.
ED! has contacted Ben’s reps for comment.
Abby moved on after Strictly curse struck
Back in 2020, Abby admitted that it had taken her five years to get over the break-up of her marriage from Ben.
“My whole world fell apart when Ben made the decision to end our marriage. It’s like a bus has hit you. I was broken — completely broken,” she said.
“Once I began to accept that I couldn’t change things, I started to feel better and the sun came out,” she then continued.
“I think my biggest regret is spending all those years crying. I don’t know how my body produced as many tears as it did,” she then added.
Since her marriage split, Abby has moved on with a new man, who regularly features in her Instagram posts.
