Ben Foden announces divorce on Bumble

50 replies

gimeallthecake · 27/08/2018 08:35

I read in the daily mail that Ben Foden announced his divorce from Una Healy (the Saturday's) on bumble.

He announced it on a dating app, after being publicly ousted for cheating on his wife. To stab he knife if further he also states he doesn't want someone 'uptight or bossy'

Does anyone else this this is really really crass? Like who would date such a low life Envy

Just wanted to know if anyone else actually cringed when they read his profile?

I’ve just realised that Ben Foden and Ben Fogle aren’t the same person Smile

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 27/08/2018 09:25

Don’t know why he needs to go on bumble, he was clearly able to get girls out and about in person whilst married- seen lots of rumours about his infidelity on the blogs over the years. Una is well rid

SockQueen · 27/08/2018 09:26

For those wondering who he is - a Northampton Saints/England rugby player. Was married to one of the Saturdays.

And seemingly a massive dickhead.

Interested in this thread?

Rugby player being unfaithful shocker. Hmmm.

speakout · 27/08/2018 09:28

Is he famous?
I have never heard of him.

PlatypusPie · 27/08/2018 09:29

Oops, another here who was reading this thinking ‘ oh, no, he seemed so nice ‘ - sorry about that, Ben Fogle ! Have no idea who the other two are but urgh, cheap thing to do.

Maybugger · 27/08/2018 09:30

Another nonentity with an inflated sense of identity.

gimeallthecake · 27/08/2018 09:45

@keefthebeef that's what I thought too, the line about the kids seems like such an afterthought. The poor kids.

For those who don't know Una she is a singer from the band The Saturday's and her ex cretin is a rugby player.

Lamain -I thought it was a mid-typed Ben Fogle as well initially, but the. Decided everyone couldn’t be mis-typing the name.

Like who would date such a low life

There will be no shortage of offers. Tall, dark, conventionally good looking, rugby player. They won't give a second thought about his shit personality until it begins to negatively affect them personally.

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 27/08/2018 10:37

If you cannot spell December and you are illiterate, then you are not for me, Ben, whoever you are.

gimeallthecake · 27/08/2018 10:50

@OctaviaOctober so true. Think the reason it's making me sad is that my ex did the same thing to me. It makes me so sad someone else is getting the same shoddy behaviour.

He’s made a colossal bell-end of himself, at a national level. Way to go Ben Foden.

KevinTheYuccaPlant · 27/08/2018 12:34

‘2 little people who are my world’ doesn’t fit with ‘heading stateside’ and ‘not believing in having plans’ does it. If you have kids and they matter you plan everything around them, it no, he has an ex wife to do that whilst he fucks off. What a twat.

Not that I condone what he's done in the slightest, but the move to the States was arranged before they split, his contract with Northampton was up and he's signed with a New York club. She and the children were moving with him.

I've transcribed interviews with both of them for journalist clients and they both came across as absolutely lovely and very family-oriented.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/08/2018 14:32

Not sure how rugby contracts work but if I’d being planning on moving to the USA with my family and then split I’d be turning the job down rather than moving to the other side of the world from my kids. I’m sure he could say no if he wanted to.

Poor kids, not only having to go through their parents splitting but also their dad moving so far away. It’s not like they will see him every other weekend.

I’d never heard of him before this but he sounds like a total knob.

LadyFatboobs · 27/08/2018 14:36

absolute ringpiece

woodfires · 27/08/2018 15:00

I thought this was Ben fogle as well until I read through. I don't know either of them but she she sounds well rid.

Exactly. Imagine if she was the one who’d signed a contract, would everyone be like oh, what a shame, it’ll be hard for her but she can’t get out if it now! Grin Laughable.

She’s well rid.

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 27/08/2018 15:58

What a dick. On the plus side in twenty years time his children will have evidence of what an utter cunt their Dad was and feel no guilt for telling him to get fucked.

MisstoMrs · 27/08/2018 18:14

That’s interesting @Kevin.

He might be generally lovely but that post just reads as I want a hook up, no stings, don’t expect anything. But I am a nice person really - I’ve got two kids that I adore.

IHaveBrilloHair · 27/08/2018 18:18

To do that to your children's Mum is beyond vile.
Urgh, what a wankstain.

HannahnotAgnes · 27/08/2018 18:21

Completely agree Op - nasty nasty bastard.

gimeallthecake · 27/08/2018 19:21

@MisstoMrs agreed!!! It's completely devoid of any redeeming qualities which is why I think he added the kids in at the end.

Never heard of him, or her, but he sounds like a right knob.
