Una Healy has confirmed her relationship status, as she opens up about family life.
Speaking to The Irish Mirror, the singer confirmed she is not seeing anyone at the moment, and described herself as a “single parent.”
Explaining: “I am single and raising my two children, just like many other single parents – both men and women – doing a great job.”
“I am a single parent. I don’t like the term single mother as it has negative connotations.”
Opening up about how she juggles her busy career and family life, the former Saturdays star highlighted the importance of seeking support.
Stressing: “You can’t do it all by yourself. There is no shame in asking for help, be that from childcare, family or friends.”
Calling out the double standard between men and women when parenting, the 41-year-old shared: “I am often asked how I juggle it all as a single parent but men aren’t asked that.”
“In fact, I can never remember a time when I heard a man being asked how he juggles it all.”
“Mothers don’t have a choice if they are single – you just get on with it.”
Una is the proud parent to 10-year-old Aoife-Belle and seven-year-old Tadhg. However, after she and her ex split, she relocated to Ireland while Ben moved to America.
While in America, Ben remarried businesswoman Jackie Belanoff Smith before welcoming a daughter, Farrah, in 2020. The couple have since moved back to the UK.
