Talking to Women's Way about the decision, she said: "Ireland is an amazing place for kids to grow up and I had a wonderful childhood here, and I’m so lucky that my kids are going to have the same experience.

"It was lovely in the UK and I was happy over there, but I did feel it was time to come home. I think this is the right place for all of us.”

Who is Una Healy's ex-husband Ben Foden?

Una married former international rugby player Ben Foden in 2012 after four years of dating. Together the couple had two children, a son and daughter.

However, six years after they said 'I do', cheating rumours began to circulate and the relationship was over just as they were due to move to America as a family.

Talking about the separation on a podcast, she said: "It was the right thing to do. We needed to split up and divorce because we couldn’t stay together. That’s just the way it was,” she began.

"To be honest, when we decided together to get divorced after he admitted that he did what he did, we were both delighted with the decision because it had been rumbling for a while."

Ben is now in property and lives in America with his new wife Jackie Foden who he has two daughters with.

Ben and Una share custody of their kids which is difficult because of the distance but they tend to go and spend weeks at a time with their dad in the states.

Who is Una Healy dating?

Una is currently believed to be single after splitting with boyfriend Irish National Hunt jockey, Aidan Coleman in January 2025.

Prior to this she has also dated Irish hurler David Breen and was rumoured to be in a 'throuple' with boxer David Haye.

Who are Una Healy's children?

Una is the proud mum of daughter Aoife Belle and son Tadgh who she had with Ben Foden.

She's raising her family in Ireland where she grew up and has made no secret about the difficulties of being a single mum.

How did Una Healy rise to fame and what is her net worth?

An Irish singer and songwriter, Una first took a step into showbiz when she represented Ireland with Brian Kennedy in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006.

Of course, her big break happened when she joined The Saturdays where she had huge success with top hits being 'All Fired Up', 'Ego' and 'What About Us'. The girlband went on a hiatus in 2014 and since then she's been enjoying solo success.
