Yahoo News Ben Foden admits to cheating on The Saturdays star wife Una Healy
Rugby player Ben Foden has admitted he cheated on The Saturdays star and wife Una Healy.
The pair married back in 2012, but announced last year that they had separated, and Foden has now revealed that he "committed adultery" during their marriage.
"At the moment anything that’s published about me is never very good," he told The Guardian, "and pretty rightly so, because I was the one who committed adultery.
"But 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 continued of moving to New York for work: "It’s hard because I’m away from my son and daughter. But I know they’re in a great and loving environment with Una, because she’s a great mum. We never argue about that."
Foden also opened up about his Bumble internet dating profile in response to tabloid reports about it around the time of the split from his wife.
"I’ll tell you the real story behind that," he continued. "I picked up Una from the airport a couple of weeks after we’d first been here, and we were sort of joking about dating.
"So I loaded up Bumble, and we did the profile together, joking around. And then I realised something dodgy was going on with it and the next day it was all over the paper.
"It’s not ideal but at least I can laugh about it and especially so with Una. If she hadn’t known about it I can see it would have been a bit of a knife in the back. But we were messing around, so we can laugh and she can call me a bit of an idiot."
