The actress shared the update with her followers as she co-parents with footballer ex
Helen Flanagan took to her Instagram as she gave a candid family update and announced that she’s “so ready” for a break.
The former Coronation Street actress has three children, Matilda, Delilah and Charlie who she shares with footballer ex Scott Sinclair.
She split from Scott in 2022 after dating for 13 years, and recently told The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine: “A lot of my friends were trying to put me on a man ban, which obviously didn’t work!
“I was hurting from the break-up and I’ve always just wanted to be loved so I started dating.” Helen is currently dating construction worker Robbie Talbot.
Reflecting on her previous relationship with Scott, she spoke to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, and said: “I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other.
“We don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on. I do know that Scott – he’d never admit it – cares about me too and he does love me. But I’m so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven’t got another argument in me.”
Taking to her Instagram stories on Friday (4th April), she said: “I’m going to the Grand National tomorrow, I’m so excited… I get a break. So the children go to Scott’s for half term, I literally can’t remember the last time I had a break, I think it was last half term so I’m really ready for it.”
She continued: “I won’t have too long probably 5 or 6 days they’ll come back and it’ll be great” Speaking about her daughter Matilda, Helen shared that she announced she wanted to spend “the whole Easter with daddy”.
Helen added: “I think that’s nice because she always talks about how she misses her daddy and stuff… I will miss Matilda but I think it’s nice for her to have that time with her dad.”
This comes after Helen shared a recent update about living with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), as she said: “I always feel like I have four personalities in one month and any boyfriend I’ve ever had knows how bad my PMDD can be.
“The Luteal phase for me can be the very worst, I used to have very bad intense symptoms for about 10 days, severe depression, sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, anxiety, OCD – OCD so crippling I thought I was going mad – exhaustion, brain fog. Now I get about 4 days before my period where I don’t feel myself mentally.”
The actress also updated fans by sharing that she’s starring on the next cover of Fabulous magazine, as she wrote: “@fabulousmag out tomorrow… So happy to be their cover girl.”
