Ben Foden says ex Una Healy is 'really happy' for him and Jackie after baby news
Ben Foden says ex-wife Una Healy is absolutely thrilled for him and his wife Jackie Smith, who have just welcomed another baby into their family.
Saturdays star Una, 42, shares two children, Aoife, 11, and Tadgh, eight, with the former rugby ace, who is now married and lives in the US with daughter Farrah, three. The pair have just become parents for the second time after welcoming their daughter Olympia last month.
He also mentioned that the new addition won't affect how the former flames look after their two children - who haven't met their new sister yet. But Ben will be flying back to London soon to watch England play Ireland in the Six Nations and to celebrate Aoife's birthday next month and plans are in place for them to get together.

Ben, his wife Jackie with their daughter Farrah have just welcomed another family memberSpeaking to OK! Magazine, Ben said: "She's really happy for us welcoming another baby into the family. We've been co-parenting for the last five years and I think we're pretty good at it now. Me having another baby won't change anything and I appreciate how much she takes the reins with Aoife and Tadgh.
"For us, it's all about communication and I think she also appreciates the break we give her when the kids visit for a few weeks during the summer and at Christmas." Aoife and Tadgh will get to meet their little sister this summer after spending Christmas in America with their dad.

Ben added: "They've not met in person yet, no. We've FaceTimed and called a couple of times though. They both came over to visit on 26 December and it was awesome to have them over just before Olympia was born. It meant we could take them to one of Jackie's scans so they could see the baby. It was really special."
"We also took them skiing at a centre near Jackie's parent's house in Connecticut and they were total naturals. It was nice to spend time just the five of us before Olympia came along. I'm also going back to England for the England v Ireland rugby game, which will be around when Aoife's birthday is. So, I'll see them then again but in terms of them meeting Pia, it'll be summer."
Ben and Jackie are excited about Farrah and Olympia growing up quite close together in age. He said: "Definitely. That's certainly the case with my other two, Aoife and Tadhg. They're thick as thieves and they're a boy and a girl, so hopefully this girl gang will be even closer. Jackie doesn't seem hopeful though."
Jackie continued: "I'm just more realistic. I do see them being best friends when Olympia is 17, though, and she needs [to borrow] Farrah's ID!. The couple have ruled out having any more kids together now that their family feels complete. Jackie said: "We're done on the baby front. I'd love more but my body couldn't handle it again.
