Una Healy, 43, looks ethereal in white sequin jumpsuit as she enjoys Fourth of July celebrations at Dublin’s US Ambassador’s residence

BBG News

On the fourth day of July, I found myself enveloped in a dreamlike state at the US Ambassador’s residence in Dublin, where Una Healy graced us all with her ethereal presence in a stunning white ensemble. The festivities were nothing short of magnificent.

On Saturday’s performance, the lead vocalist, aged 43, left everyone speechless in a 525-pound Nadine Merabi bridal-esque jumpsuit. This outfit boasted removable diamond adornments on its straps and an attachable embellished waistband.

She added inches to her sculpted frame as she slipped into a pair of towering silver stilettos. 

Standing before a grand white building adorned with large American flags, Una met up with Ireland’s renowned swing artist, Luke Martin Thomas.

In a stylish manner, Luke emerged wearing a sleek black tuxedo, accessorized with a dapper bow tie and a red silk handkerchief tucked neatly into his pocket.

On Instagram, Una posted: ‘Wishing a joyful 4th of July early from the U.S. Ambassador’s residence’

In her latest Instagram update, Una seemed cheerful, only a few short months following the news that her former spouse, Ben Foden, intends to return to the United Kingdom after residing in the U.S. for the past six years.

I, a devoted fan, couldn’t hide my joy when I heard the news. You see, The Saturdays singer had shared her struggles earlier in March, about the hardship of being so distant from her two cherished children due to his location.

Ben shared on Instagram that he’s thrilled to reveal his upcoming move: he’ll be assuming the position of Director of Rugby at Scarborough College and Head Coach for Scarborough RFC, commencing from September 1st.

For the past six years, the retired rugby player resides in the United States alongside his spouse Jackie and their two daughters – Farrah, age 4, and baby Olympia who is 12 months old.

He mentioned that this is a remarkable chance for him to re-establish bonds with his family and dive back into the exciting sphere of rugby.

In assuming this new position, my primary objective is to foster and advance Scarborough College’s rugby program, striving for excellence that places us among the leading schools in the region in competitive play.

Recently, Una parted ways with her boyfriend, Aidan Coleman who is a jockey, and she has two children, Aoife, aged 12, and Tadhg, aged 10, with Ben.

Following the announcement of my separation from Aidan, I found myself in the company of my single fellow cast member, Danny Cipriani, exiting a taxi at the Celebrity Bear Hunt premiere afterparty.

In a chat with OK! Magazine this month, Una expressed sadness over Ben living so far. We don’t have the alternating every-other-weekend arrangement we had hoped for.

I make an effort to have a good relationship with Ben, mainly because it’s beneficial for the kids. I hope they will grow to like him and that he’ll be able to spend a lot of time with them.

As someone who has experienced the pain of divorce, I can attest that it’s a deeply challenging and sorrowful journey, regardless of one’s public status. However, it’s crucial to remember that moving forward is essential – there’s little benefit in clinging to the past.

After opening up about their painful separation for the first time, Una expressed that participating in Celebrity Bear Hunt compelled her to pick herself up, learn, and strive forward, aiming for growth.

Instead, let me rephrase it for you: After her break-up, the Netflix series and Bear Grylls’ survival skills inspired Una, helping her find the strength to carry on.

In response to your query about my relationship with Aidan, I affirmatively replied, “Indeed, I have moved forward. Let’s focus on the future instead.

I believe I’ve adequately equipped myself for whatever this jungle journey may throw at me. It has certainly toughened me up, and I’m convinced that a strong spirit is essential in navigating life’s challenges.

Shake off any setbacks, give it another go and have faith in your abilities – that’s what Bear Grylls advised me.

He motivates us all with an inspiring speech, expressing his appreciation for our unyielding spirit. He emphasized that he would share this sentiment with everyone: ‘Never give up.’

Una was married to rugby star Ben from 2012 until 2018 but divorced after he was unfaithful to her.

Later that year, she began a relationship with hurler David Breen from Limerick, but they parted ways by February 2020.

In the latest update he shared, Ben expressed that this opportunity presents an incredible way for him to grow as a coach. He’s excited about gaining insights through his own journey and being inspired by those around him.

In the northeastern region, there’s a wealth of untapped talent when it comes to rugby, and I wholeheartedly think that a significant breakthrough is just around the corner for us.

I feel honored to join this journey, and I look forward to playing a role in shaping the future of rugby within this lively community.

Reflecting on my life, it’s clear that rugby has had a deep and lasting impact. It has offered me numerous experiences, valuable lessons, and unforgettable moments that I hold dear.

During my break from the sport, I’ve deeply appreciated the experience, but I’ve come to understand that no other activity can match the distinct feelings, hurdles, and thrills that come with participating in rugby.

‘Friendship, victories, failures, and an indomitable spirit to overcome challenges – these experiences have an unique value and will forever be cherished deeply within me.’

He went on saying: “The sport has provided me with far more than words can convey, and it stays a crucial aspect of my identity.

I’m thrilled to rejoin the rugby world, now in a new role as both the Director of Rugby and Head Coach at Scarborough College and RFC. This position allows me to express my enthusiasm for the game and impart my expertise, while also staying connected to the sport I adore.

I’d like to extend a heartfelt appreciation to Guy Emmett, Graeme Young, Dan Scargill, not forgetting my incredibly supportive wife @snackyjax and the entire family. Their constant encouragement and hard work have truly been invaluable.
