Una Healy's bandmates are said to be "rallying around her" since her ex-husband Ben Foden announced his marriage to his girlfriend of two weeks.

The 34-year-old rugby star revealed that his former wife Una gave him her "blessing" to re-marry only one year after their tumultuous separation.

Their marriage crumbled due to Foden's string of affairs, which were made public last year and led to a shocked Una calling time on their relationship.

But according to reports, Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, Frankie Bridge and Vanessa White are supporting the singer after Ben’s surprise announcement.

A source told The Sun Online:

"The girls have all been there for Una. As soon as they heard what happened, Rochelle, Mollie, Vanessa and Frankie were straight on their phones as they were worried about their friend.

"They have rallied around to support her as they can only imagine what she is feeling. She's a strong woman, but her friends have let her know that they will be there for her through this as it is still a shock to the system that Ben would remarry so soon."

Ben and Una share seven-year-old Aoife and four-year-old Tadgh together but announced via social media over the weekend that he'd tied the knot with New Yorker Jackie Belanoff Smith.

He captioned the image: “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 be many nasty comments left under this post by keyboard warriors aplenty. 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 Jackie and I had only been dating seriously for a little over two weeks before deciding to get married. But when someone like her comes into your life, why would I wait?

He adds: “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 ex-wife Una Healy, who I love even more for her blessing.

"Life is short and you only get one and it’s worth living," he continued.

"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."

He concludes; “She will be a great step mum to Aoife and Tadhg and offers me a future I can’t wait to explore with her."

We're glad Una has her best friends and bandmates around her for support, even though she's loved up herself. It must still be incredibly shocking to see your ex-husband remarry so promptly.

Una hasn't had an easy few weeks.

Her ex-husband Ben Foden admitting to his infidelity last week, but instead of dwelling on it, the former Saturdays singer stormed the runway at London Fashion Week and turned every head.

The 37-year-old appeared in Oxfam's Fashion Fighting Poverty Catwalk Show at Ambika 3 last night, showing off her fashionista roots.

She captioned her Instagram post; 

"It was a real honour to walk the Oxfam #fashionfightingpoverty fashion show as part of London fashion week this evening", showing herself in a black svelte outfit with a plunging neckline. She's looking FIERCE.

The mum-of-two sported gorgeous black boots and loose black trousers, with her hair styled simply and tucked behind her ears. Very Parisian chic, we feel. 

She flashed a smile at the end of the catwalk, showing her excitement at representing the iconic charity in their fashion foray.

The glamorous Irish star could easily pursue a modelling career, she looks like she was born on the runway. We're glad she didn't let her ex-husband's confession dampen her moment.

In a recent interview, Ben admitted that he cheated on Una, but also claimed his infidelity wasn’t the only reason for the end of the relationship.

"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. 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 concluded.

Una is since loved up with her new boyfriend, Tipperary hurler David Breen, and appears unfazed by her ex.

She's absolutely slaying the fashion runway anyway, and for an unreal cause. Herself and fellow singer Emeli Sande walked alongside supermodels as they took to the catwalk for Oxfam’s show to highlight sustainable fashion.

The musicians joined top models Stella Tennant and Laura Bailey at the Fashion Fighting Poverty event, showcasing Oxfam clothes specially picked by stylist Bay Garnett from the organisation’s online and high street shops.

Fair play, gals.

Una Healy has commented on her relationship with rugby player Ben Foden. The pair went their separate ways earlier this year when it was revealed that the sportsman had been cheating on the singer.

The mum-of-two explained she hopes they can be on good terms for the sake of their children: “He's the father of my children and he's in my life forever, so hopefully one day we can be friends.”

Una’s world was flipped upside down when reports emerged that Ben had been cheating on his wife of six years.

The singer said: “The most important job for me is to be the best parent I can and to provide and look after them. They’re my priority."

We love how positive Una is about her future.

For many suffering with their mental health, World Mental Health Day ois just another day – because your mental health doesn't stop to reflect on itself just because the world is raising awareness for it. 

However, many celebrities and influencers are taking the opportunity today to share their tales of mental illness, and former The Saturday's band member Frankie Bridge did just that. 

The talented singer and mum of two took to Instagram to give her almost 1 million followers an insight into a dark time she struggled with during her time in the 00s girl group.

The band defined an era of pop music for their young fans, but Frankie revealed that some days, she faced an uphill battle with her emotions despite her roaring success.

'Most of you will probably look at this picture and just see two good friends walking along holding hands… but the truth is she was practically holding me up… we’d just done a gig that I had forced myself to be “Frankie from The Saturdays” for. I had got to the hotel that morning. Shut all the curtains. Got into bed. Under the covers and sobbed for hours alone,' she wrote. 

'It felt an effort to breathe. To be alive. Let alone to get on a stage. Paint on a smile and dance and sing to happy songs!'

'This was one of the first times my anxiety and depression had become so out of control that I couldn’t hide it from the people around me anymore… none of us ever really know what others are going through and a picture doesn’t always speak a thousand words… especially these days!'

'Remember youre not alone and things aren’t always what they seem….'

The Saturdays singer Una Healy has opened up about her devastating split from her husband of over six years, Ben Foden.

In an interview with HELLO, Healy says that she's trying to remain positive, despite her life being "turned upside down," and is focusing on being a mum to her two young children, six-year-old Aoife and three-year-old son Tadhg.

"My life has been turned upside down," she said. "I’m taking each day as it comes and just being there for my children."

Since news of their separation emerged, Healy hasn't spoken of the reasons for it (though it reportedly is due to Foden being unfaithful), but now says she's trying to make the best of what is a turbulent situation, channelling her energies into her family and songwriting. 

She's also opted for a more visual change, and dyed her auburn hair blonde. Channelling SJP in a moving-on-from-Mr-Big kinda way or simply wanting a different look, the timing surely isn't incidental.

"I’ve had the same colour hair forever and just fancied a change," she said.

The 36-year-old says the support she's received from family, friends and fans has helped her push through and refocus – the couple were due to move their family to New York so that Foden could take up a new job with Rugby United when news of a 'scandal' was reported and he flew to New York solo while Una returned to her native Tipperary.

"They’ve been rallying around when times are tough," she continued. "I’ve been sent letters that are really supportive, too. "Life is tough, but you’ve got to keep a positive attitude. Time is a healer as well. Someone told me: 'Don’t look back; you’re not going that way.' These words inspire me, as does the famous quote of Winston Churchill: 'If you’re going through hell, keep going.'"

Her focus now, she says, is firmly on her family and children, who she says, she's incredibly lucky to have. 

"I'm so lucky to have them," she says. "I never feel lonely or alone. They’re lovely company and have brought joy into my life. The most important job for me is to be the best parent I can and to provide and look after them. They’re my priority."

Vanessa White has revealed her split from The Saturdays.

The singer was one member of the five-piece girl band, who went on hiatus in 2015, but never officially split.

Speaking to Hunger Magazine, Vanessa, who is promoting her new music, said: "I don't think I could go back. I've got so much that I want to do. There's no space mentally for me to go back.

"As time goes on, I know it just wouldn't feel right for me."

There were rumours of the girls getting back together last year, but now as Una embarks on her country music journey and, with Frankie admitting she doesn't get excited from the music anymore, it's not looking likely.

As kids across the country head back to school today, some parents might be feeling a little emotional and Una Healy is definitely one of them.

Posting a picture of her eldest daughter Aoife Bella on Instagram the singer was feeling sentimental as she waved her off on her first day of school.

Captioning the adorable black and white snap, “First day at big school”, Una was a little overwhelmed by the whole experience as she also shared a teary emoji.

Aoife Belle is four years old and is the eldest of two children for Una and rugby player husband, Ben Foden.

With their youngest Tadhg just one year old, they have a few more years before they have to go through the motions again.

This all comes just a week after Una said that the pair had no plans to have any more children.

“I’m done now. I really don’t want any more. If I see a baby I’m like ‘No definitely not’.

“It’s tough and really hard work. I’m just so happy with two.”

The Saturdays have been part of the music scene for a while now, and even though they're on a little break, their fans still love them just as much.

So, it's safe to say that they all went into meltdown when Una Healy announced she had some news yesterday.

Fans began to wonder what Una's big news was and many speculated that she is leaving the band.

 

Big news coming this week! I can’t wait to share it with you all

However, that's far from the truth.

Speaking on Facebook Live, Una told her fans that's she's going solo – but that doesn't mean it's over with The Saturdays.

"I've been working behind-the-scenes, very quietly, putting together my own solo album for the last two years," she said.

"This is not a departure from The Saturdays. It's just like, we're all working on different things, taking time out. The band has not disbanded whatsoever."

Now that that's out of the way, we're excited to hear Una's album!

She was the poster girl for the pixie cut throughout the early 2000s, but Frankie Bridge is rocking a completely different looks these days. 

The former girlband singer made her new-look debut on Monday night as she attended the Mind Media awards in London and shocked on-lookers with a very different hairstyle.

Gone is the short and spiked do' and in it's place is a feminine shoulder-length cut. Looking super shiny, Frankie wore soft curls in her hair to add a little bit of drama. 

Her outfit was also quite different from her Saturdays look, as instead of wearing something short and tight (because that was the look of the 2000's, right?), the 26-year-old was covered up from head-to-toe in a very chic ensemble. 

Wearing a vintage-style military jacket, which featured gold detailing, the chart-topping singer finished off her look with a pair of thigh-high boots. Very #OnPoint Frankie!

It's one of the most defining 'will I won't I' hair moments in a gal's life: continue with same, old long style – or be brave and go for the chop.

And it seems that Rochelle Humes has embraced the latter option – cutting her trademark flowing tresses into a shorter, sexier bob.

 

I've been brave today

Suffice to say, however, that The Saturdays's singer has certainly made the right choice: she looked all sorts of ah-maze-ing in an Instagram snap she shared with her fans.

First showing a pile of long hair on the hairdressers' floor, she next posted an image of her revamped look – with numerous commentators commending her for taking the plunge. 

The 26-year-old mother-of-one seemingly also inspired plenty of others to do the same. 

"I'm getting mine cut similar to this nxt week I'm fed up with long hair," stated one fan, adding: "I'm crap at styling it so may as well cut it off lol." 

"I love this!! I've always loved this cut I think maybe after next summer i might cut my hair!" reported another.

Hmmm, we feel a major trend coming on.

Ms Humes, who has been married to JLS singer Marvin since July 2012, had her locks tended to at the George Northwood salon in central London's swish Westminster. 

Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is also a client there.

Carter Bridge turns the ripe old age of one month today, and his mum is celebrating with some seriously beautiful family photos.

Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge features in the new issue of OK! magazine with her two sons – Carter and his big brother, one-year-old Parker.

Frankie and her husband, footballer Wayne Bridge, announced Carter's arrival on August 15th via Twitter, saying their new arrival was "absolutely perfect."

Despite already having one child at home, Frankie said in the end she was a bit unprepared for Carter's arrival, as he came along before his due date.

"I'd been so laid back about it all because I thought I knew exactly when he was coming – I hadn't even packed my hospital bag until a few days before," the Strictly Come Dancing finalist tells OK!

But after meeting her little man for the first time, everything else melted away. "Wayne and I both cried when we first saw him. My first thought was that he looked like a much smaller version of Parker when he was born, which made me feel quite emotional."

Having two under two at home no doubt makes for a chaotic household, but Frankie says she and Wayne are getting used to things… bit by bit.

"There was a moment on the first night back home when Carter’s crying woke him [Parker] up and we wondered how the hell we were going to make it work, but he seems to have got used to it now," the mum of two says.

It's been a busy 18 months for the singer and her husband, who tied the knot last July after four years together. The newlyweds kept their wedding details under wraps until almost three months later, when Frankie finally shared some snaps of the big day on social media.

We hope she doesn't wait that long to share more cute photos of Carter… we're already smitten!
