Rugby star Ben Foden has admitted that he cheated on wife Una Healy during their six-year marriage.
The couple announced they were separating last July, amid rumours that he’d been unfaithful – and he’s now confessed the stories were true.

The pair, who are mum and dad to daughter Aoife, six, and four-year-old son Tadhg, had been one of the golden couples of The Saturdays’ girls, alongside Rochelle and Marvin Humes, and Frankie and Wayne Bridge.
But it all came crashing down last year, when their planned move to America was halted after Una became “suspicious” of Ben’s behaviour.
At the time it was reported that she confronted him and was left heartbroken by their subsequent split.

Now Ben, who moved to America alone to play for Rugby United New York, has confirmed he cheated but insists it was not the only reason for their split.
He told The Guardian: “At the moment, anything that is published about me is never very good and pretty rightly so because I was the one who committed adultery.
“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.”

He went on to say that living away from his kids was hard, but that it was okay because he knew they had a great mum.
After the split, Una moved in with her mum in her hometown of Thurles.
Despite the alleged affair with PR girl Becky Milne, Ben has been single since the split and joined online dating agency Bumble where he admitted he was getting divorced and had “two little people who are my world”.
Una has since moved on with Irish hurler David Breen.
