Una Healy shares sweet photos with her son Tadhg as ex husband Ben Foden’s new wife goes into labour

Una Healy shared sweet family photos on Thursday, a day after her ex husband Ben Foden revealed that his new wife had gone into labour.

Saturdays singer Una cosied up to her and Ben’s son Tadhg, five, and called him ‘the main man in my life.’

In the early hours of Wednesday, Ben shared a series of Instagram Stories from a hospital in the US as he and his wife of ten months Jackie Belanoff Smith prepared to welcome their first child together. 

‘The Main Man in my life. I love you Tadhgy xxx’ Una captioned two Instagram photos, showing her looking fresh-faced as she relaxed in the sunshine with her son. 

The post was flooded with supportive comments from Una’s followers and celeb pals including her Saturdays bandmate Mollie King who gushed ‘gorgeous photo.’

Una shared the photo shortly after Ben teased he wanted to live stream Jackie giving birth to their child. 

Ben, who Una divorced in 2018 after he confessed to cheating on her with PR Becky Milne, shared updates from the delivery room in the early hours of Wednesday. 

The 34-year-old rugby ace took to his Instagram account a few minutes before 1am to share footage of his wife on a hospital bed as she donned a mask and was hooked up to an intravenous drip.

An hour later, Ben continued to film as his wife experienced pain while another IV drip was inserted, causing her to call him ‘a f**king a**hole’ on camera. 

The start of the footage saw Ben donning a mask and serving as cameraman, captioning the footage: ‘What do people think to a Instagram live stream during a pandemic.’ [sic]

Seemingly keen to keep things lighthearted, he added Salt-N-Pepa’s chart-topping 1988 hit Push It as the soundtrack to the proceedings.   

The updates stopped soon after, with Ben sharing a cryptic post on Wednesday evening, showing a laptop airing an episode of American Idol with the caption: ‘All is good. A lot of this going and a lot of this [sleeping emoji] so far.’ 

Ben is already a father to Tadhg and Aoife, seven, with Una. It was revealed that he and Jackie were expecting their first child in February.  

Friends of the Celebrity X Factor star said at the time that he is ‘absolutely delighted’ at becoming a father for the third time.

Rugby player Ben married Jackie from New York in August just two weeks after they started dating. ‘Ben and Jackie are over the moon,’ a source told MailOnline.

‘They’re so excited to become parents together for the first time and are looking forward to starting their new lives as a family.

‘The plan is to move from America back to the UK and raise the baby here – there’s lots to organise but they can’t wait for their new arrival.’

Jackie revealed her baby bump in an image she shared of her and Ben in Vermont which was taken over Christmas. 

Ex-England rugby international Ben first married The Saturdays singer Una in her native Ireland in 2012, after the pair dated for four years.

The couple divorced in July 2018 with their split coming just days before they had planned to move to the US with their two children, which resulted in Ben starting his new life having signed with Rugby United New York on his own.

Una moved on from Ben with Irish sportsman David Breen but the couple split in early March, two weeks after Ben’s baby news was revealed. 

Ben married Jackie on board a luxury yacht in Nantucket, Massachusetts in August despite the pair only knowing each other for a few weeks.

Following the ceremony, Ben said: ‘The world has a funny way of working things out, many people think I’m a bad person – as I’m sure they’ll 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 two weeks before deciding to get married.

‘But when someone like her comes in to your life, why would I wait?’

Ben revealed to MailOnline last year that he plans to move back to the UK with Jackie and buy a house together in Cheshire.

Speaking in October, he said: ‘My life has changed a lot over the last seven months.

‘I have been in America and I got married. In New York it’s a very busy way of life, everyone is quite healthy.

‘Jackie loves all these shakes in the morning. She’s not a vegan or vegetarian but we have more of a vegetarian diet together. She has been a very positive influence on my life and my diet.

‘But we’re planning to move back to England next summer and buy a house in Cheshire…’
