Has come out to say her long term relationship is over and it very much looks like he had a wandering eye and she found out.

She posted a video on Instagram and has done an interview to say once the trust is gone it has to be over.

I really like her, I think she's smart and funny and do feel sorry for her. She has dealt with it really well though. It's easy to say LTB but when it comes down to it that can be hard to do, especially when you've been together a long time.

Really hoping she finds happiness in the future!

Love her.. agree she wears her heart on her sleeve. She did an interview years back and asked if she had any regrets... thinking it would have been something she had said:done in her professional life, VF said she regretted only having two children because she had a son and daughter it was just considered by everyone she was done. It stayed with me and I went on to have a third and I often wonder if I would have done if it wasn't for that comment! Our littlest DD is an absolute joy and I did think of middle naming her Vanessa! ( I do think she is on mumsnet so I hope she reads these comments) x

I thought she had two girls?

Wasn't aware just a name in the thread title meant dead.. sorry for any confusion, she's alive and well!

Oh that's a shame, poor V, she's not a great picker. Wish her luck next time. I'm really fond of her, she's compassionate and sensible which is a rare thing in a public figure these days.

I love Vanessa and always thought Ben was punching with her.

I hope she’ll be fine and finds someone that deserves her.

i hope this is tongue in cheek!
where is your female solidarity

she doesnt need to replace him, or even keep him.

i used to enjoy reading her in cosmopolitan! i read how she met her husband, who i actually worked for, i didnt like him, but he was good looking.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2023 13:53

@Blagdoon that's a really unpleasant thing to say. I think he's mad to cheat on her.

UserNameSameGame · 05/02/2023 13:54

She deserves so much better than him. I always wondered whether he was a trophy husband after what she went through with the last one.

She deserves someone who is an actual equal to her, but I fear that might not happen until she properly values herself (rather than just putting on a show of so-doing). She also works too hard - another sign of not valuing herself enough.

She has two daughters, Allegra and Saskia.

So any man is better than no man? I strongly disagree.

3peassuit · 05/02/2023 13:59

She’s clever, funny and great at her job, Ben is a one hit wonder most people have never heard of. It’s his loss.

Yes staying with a cheater, which will end up making you feel bitter and worthless in the end, would be SO MUCH better than being single 🙄

She seems like a nice woman,

What a nasty post.

Telephome · 05/02/2023 14:03

It's most definitely his loss.

She is warm, witty, wise and very much relevant.

He is a one hit wonder hasbeen, who has lived on her coat tails for years.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2023 14:06

@Blagdoon Maybe she doesn't want another toyboy, maybe she wants someone as successful as she is career-wise too.

There is so much more to life than someone's weight and age! One thing Vanessa clearly has is self respect and if she stayed that would be ebbed away.

I really value her honesty and I truly wish her happiness, whether that's in a new relationship or not.
