Helen Flanagan expressed that she prefers being unattached following her separation from Robbie Talbot, sharing insights into her current romantic situation.
The 34-year-old actress, a mother of Matilda (9), Delilah (6), and Charlie (3) with her former fiancé Scott Sinclair, admitted that she is quite emotionally vulnerable and finds it challenging when it comes to dating.
In 2022, after spending 13 years with professional footballer Scott, Helen chose to part ways. Later, she began a new relationship with construction worker Robbie, aged 45. However, their union didn’t last long and they separated in May.
To The Mirror, she clarified: “My focus is split among taking care of the children, handling work, relocating, and spending time with my friends.
I find myself quite emotionally vulnerable when it comes to romantic relationships, often encountering issues with men. For now, I think I need some time to focus on myself and not be in a relationship.
Robbie was extraordinarily thoughtful and compassionate. He was a bit older, showing a tender concern for me. However, some connections naturally don’t last forever in the long run.
After Carina, Robbie’s daughter, and Delilah, hers, developed a close bond, Helen expressed reservations about introducing her kids to new people from now on.
In an episode of “The Life of Bryony” podcast on Daily Mail back in March (before their separation), Helen expressed her delight about her relationship with Robbie.
She expressed: ‘He’s charming, and everyone adores him. I recently encountered him at a pub, and let me tell you, I was absolutely captivated by his humor. I couldn’t help but laugh non-stop around him.’
As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share a delightful anecdote about my life. The man I’m with is hands down the funniest individual I’ve encountered. He’s not just funny for me, but also for the two little ones he shares his life with. His humor and kindness have a magical way of making us all feel at ease. He’s more than a partner; he’s a loving father who effortlessly brings joy into our family life.
What really deepened my affection for him is his exceptional care for my mental well-being, as this is what matters most to me.
What I truly value is finding someone who positively impacts me on both a mental and emotional level. That’s my number one priority, and it’s something I’ve come to understand.
Although I hold deep affection for the father of my children, there are aspects of our relationship that he struggled to navigate, which is understandable as not everyone does. However, the person I am with now has a knack for handling me in ways that bring me great joy.
Helen had also previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer.
Later on, friends asserted that Helen changed her mind, and she informed Robbie that their relationship wasn’t successful. Their separation became evident in May.
This past week, Helen opened up about her challenges with co-parenting and feelings of maternal guilt related to the varying relationships she has with her three kids.
She labeled a collection of photos on Instagram, ‘Revisiting some of my best moments with the kids this year (kiss mark)’
Lately, I’ve been finding motherhood challenging, as I’ve been feeling overburdened and stressed most of the time. I yearn to return to those moments when I’m fully immersed, present, and genuinely enjoying the experience. After all, becoming a mom has always been my dream.
In simpler terms, I often experience a sense of mom guilt because I find myself preoccupied with her brother more than I should. This leaves less energy for Matilda than I desire, and it seems like she frequently observes me in less-than-ideal states.
I too sense she requires tranquility, yet it’s elusive for me. Delilah, I believe I’m finding my way with her, and our connection seems strong, so there’s no need for self-condemnation. Charlie, you sometimes drive me to the brink of frustration, but I see a lot of myself in you, which is both comforting and challenging at times.
This version maintains the original’s tone and sentiment while using more common and straightforward language.
‘Sharing child-rearing responsibilities can be challenging, especially when both parents fail to work as a unified team and struggle to discuss their concerns and apprehensions regarding the children.’
She determined: ‘I guess all you can really strive for is giving your best and being compassionate towards yourself, but these items particularly resonate with me because they bring joy to my spirit.’
