Helen Flanagan ‘splits from fiancé Scott Sinclair’ after 13 years and 3 children

Helen Flanagan is said to have ended her 13-year relationship with fiancé Scott Sinclair.

The former Coronation Street star, who shares three children with Sinclair, reportedly stopped wearing her engagement ring last month after the pair hit a "rough patch".

The fallout is believed to have happened over the summer when Flanagan, 32, returned from South Africa, where she filmed ITV’s, I’m A Celebrity All Stars.

“Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott," a source told The Sun.

"They hit a rough patch in the summer and after Helen came back from South Africa it ended for good.

“[They’ve] committed to co-parenting their kids as a family unit.”

The actress started dating the Bristol Rovers footballer, 33, in 2009, got engaged during a family holiday in Disneyland Paris in 2018 and were set to marry in 2024.

Speaking of their wedding venue, Flanagan said: “I have been really picky which is why it’s taken me so long but I have managed to find the perfect venue.

“Unfortunately they can only fit us in in 2024 but we have been together so long, I’ve been with Scott since I was 19, it already feels like we’re married – which is why I’ve been so laid back.

“I have been so busy with the three children as well.”

The pair, who welcomed their third child, a son named Charlie in March 2021, also have daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four.

Their representatives have been contacted for comment.
