Ben Foden marrying after 2 weeks

Una Healy's ex husband Ben Foden has married some woman he's been seeing for only 2 weeks.
After cheating, announcing his divorce on Bumble and moving halfway across the world from his kids (who he wishes he could spend more time with Hmm) I didn't think he could be more of an arsehole but he proved me wrong!

He’s a fool and Una is well rid.

DioneTheDiabolist · 07/08/2019 11:16

He comes across as being trapped in an eternal midlife crisis. Embarrassing and inappropriate.

Una's well rid.

Green Card!

Let's hope she's "not bossy". I believe that's what he requested when advertising for women on a dating site.

anybody who choses to leave their young kids behind to live in another country does not have a strong moral compass.

That potato head from Westlife did the same thing didn't he? Kerry Katona's ex. He moved to Australia.

Una H is now going out with an absolute ride of a hurler, so hopefully this news is just water off a ducks back to her.

Ben F just seems like he has no impulse control whatsoever.

Two adults can be as daft as they want but when you have kids you consider them too so yanbu.

I read the title as Ben Fogle and I was totally shocked.

But then realised I dont know who this Ben is so not shocked at all now 😁

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 07/08/2019 11:39

I love Una, she is so beautiful and smart, what a catch. This ex husband seems seriously on the rebound. He won't find someone better than Una.

DioneTheDiabolist · 07/08/2019 11:43

I dont like Ben Fogle either. I get a really horrible vibe from him.😳

GoFiguire · 07/08/2019 11:44

I thought Ben fogle was still mrried to Marina but he blabbed about the Cambridge kids play dates and that was the end of him. Funny, I didn’t know he was in America. The trailer for his new show with Kate Humble was in insta the other day.

IT’S NOT BEN FOGLE Grin

GoFiguire · 07/08/2019 11:46

But it says that in the title, even though there is clearly a typo.

Wonkybanana · 07/08/2019 11:48

On his Twitter, the bit at the top left where he gives a brief intro, Foden describes himself as a 'Professional Egg Chaser'. That sounds a rather grim double entendre under the circs.

lmusic87 · 07/08/2019 11:49

Tacky, she's better off.

Deeandwizzy · 07/08/2019 11:52

She moved on after 5 months and went public with her new 'love' so why can't he after a year? Getting married seems a bit much but each to their own.

MadisonAvenue · 07/08/2019 12:01

Can you legally marry in that time? Don’t you have to give notice or something? Or was it a Vegas type thing?

We were married in New York and it was a simple matter of getting a licence and then waiting 24 hours before we could have our ceremony.

katewhinesalot · 07/08/2019 12:03

Don't believe everything you read in the papers. It sounds as if they've known each other for quite a while.

AnyFucker · 07/08/2019 12:05

Toss. Errrr.

aintnomountainhighenough1 · 07/08/2019 12:06

Having known many men like him i.e. a cheat & rushing from 1 relationship to the next - these are serial "love " (more sex/lust) addicts who are just addicted to the thrill of being in a new relationship, the chase, the romance of it all until life gets a little routine/dull and they look for the next hit.

Seen it so many times with a lot of men. He is clearly 1 of them. Women will never change them and should stay clear!!

Hmmmbop · 07/08/2019 12:13

I expected (hoped) better from him. I dodged a bullet Grin

momo01 · 07/08/2019 12:13

Omg I read this as Ben Fogel and nearly fainted! Thank goodness

AtillatheHun · 07/08/2019 12:21

poor chap clearly hadn't had time to read the update in the Paul Hollywood story before crashing into this. Silly, silly boy.

Watchingthyme · 07/08/2019 12:26

I thought it was Ben Fogle too! And he’s a genuinely nice person IRL

GimmieTheCoffeeAndNooneDies · 07/08/2019 12:27

I didn't know who he was so I googled the wedding .

Those white trousers weren't the only mistake he's making.

VanGoghsDog · 07/08/2019 12:50

How do you 'announce your divorce on Bumble'?

I mean, 'why' is a totally different question - but the mechanics of it!? Do you literally put it in your own dating profile?

If so, he sounds like he has a screw loose!
