Six months after their break-up, Corrie actress Helen Flanagan has sent a message to her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. The soap star and the Bristol Rovers player are said to have parted ways in the latter half of last year after 13 years together; the former couple share three children.
In celebration of her ex-partner's birthday, Helen shared a photo of him and their youngest son Charlie, the Liverpool Echo reports. Wishing the former Aston Villa player well, Helen penned today (March 25): "Happy birthday @scott_sinclair."
Not only was it Scott's birthday, but the pair were celebrating Charlie's second birthday. "Happy 2nd birthday to my dream boy my Prince Charlie," Helen, 32, wrote.

Scott turned 34 today and had Helen's well wishes, despite the fact they are said to have broken up last year. It was reported earlier this week that Helen was back on the market after being spotted without her engagement ring in October, with a source telling The Sun that she was being eyed up by Celebs Go Dating bosses.
The mum-of-three is said to be resting at the dizzy heights of E4 bosses' list for the next series of the fly-on-the-wall reality series. "Helen is the perfect candidate for Celebs Go Dating and E4 is hoping that she will agree to take part when they approach her for the new series," an insider shared.
"She is a television pro thanks to her time on Corrie and is incredibly glamorous. She would be the star signing for the show and the production team have put her name at the top of their wish list as they think she would be a hit with viewers. Helen only split from Scott five months ago so it’s still very early days for her in terms of finding love."
The source also divulged to The Sun that Celebs Go Dating producers think Helen could be open to "dipping her toe back into the dating pool with the help of the the programme’s relationship experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson". The newly single actress is thought to have split from her ex-fiancé in 2022 after an insider claimed the former couple "hit a rough patch in the summer".
Friends and family members were left shocked when Helen and Scott called off their engagement last year after 13 years together. Scott got down on one knee and popped the question to Helen in 2018, after nine years of dating; they had been set to tie the knot next year before calling it quits.
