Los Angeles, April 5 (NationPress) Reality star Helen Flanagan has disclosed that her friends attempted to enforce a strict "man ban" after her breakup with Scott Sinclair.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress, who is a mother of three—Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, four—with her ex-fiancé, shared that her friends encouraged her to refrain from jumping into a new relationship following their split in 2022, according to reports from Female First UK.
Helen, 34, mentioned to The Sun's Fabulous Magazine, "Many of my friends were trying to put me on a man ban, which clearly didn't succeed. I was in pain from the breakup and I've always desired to be loved, so I began dating."
As per Female First UK, Helen and Scott, 36, were in a relationship for 13 years prior to their breakup, and she has since started seeing construction worker Robbie Talbot, 45.
She expressed, "He's a kind, genuine person, he makes me laugh and he's fantastic with my children."
Meanwhile, Helen recently acknowledged that she and Scott don’t have a great relationship, but they still care for one another as co-parents. Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her 'Naughty Corner' podcast, Helen said, "I still love him dearly, I care for him a lot, but we don't like each other. We don’t get along at all. I know Scott, though he'd never admit it, cares about me too and loves me. But I’m completely done; I could never enter another relationship where we’d constantly be arguing. I don’t have any more fights left in me."
As women, we often put in all our efforts to make things work with our children's father, and I did. However, if I were to be in a relationship with someone else, it must be effortless because I don’t have the energy for more drama; I’ve already experienced that with my kids' father. I’ve been a single mother for two years now. Co-parenting is quite amusing; we were together for 13 years.
"The last time I saw him, I found it quite humorous; I was teasing him about his bucket hat. I think he was trying to suppress a laugh. He lives in Bath while I reside in North Manchester, so it’s about five hours apart. We meet in Birmingham to exchange items and the kids. He was tossing things into my boot, and I started making fun of his bucket hat to lighten the mood. We just try to avoid being in the same house since the children are our priority, and I want a positive environment for them without them witnessing any arguments," she concluded.
