Helen Skelton's ex husband shares rare video of youngest son after taking new girlfriend to Wimbledon

Helen Skelton's ex Richie Myler has shared a rare video of the TV presenter's youngest son.

Myler, who is a Leeds Rhino rugby player, uploaded a sentimental black and white video of his son being carried on his shoulders as they enjoy a play date together. The little one, named Louis, was making a 'shhh' gesture with his figure, and Richie was smiling.

It could have also been a celebration for a goal considering he was wearing a football kit. Richie also has another son named Ernie, and a baby girl named Elsie with Helen.

But fans of the BBC Countryfile star were left saddened when they learnt the couple's marriage had broken down. Helen and Richie announced their split back in April, just four months after welcoming baby Elsie.

Fans were left shocked by the split as the pair had been together for nine years. Helen confirmed the "sad" news and said: "Very sad to say Richie and I are no longer a couple.

"He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children." But it didn't take long for the rugby star to move on as he now has a new girlfriend.

His new partner Stephanie Thirkill, is the daughter of the multi-millionaire President of the Leeds Rhinos club. Earlier this week he shared a snap of the pair at Wimbledon together.

Stephanie has her own marketing and communication brand and a dog named Ralphie. Single Helen has been branded a "supermum" since the break up.

It comes as she is one of the co-parent duo who often shared candid and inspirational posts with her three young children. The star was pictured being a doting mother back in April, ahead of the announcement, when she gave her son Ernie a piggyback while carrying her new-born baby Elsie in a front carrier.

One fan wrote: "And that’s what they call multitasking" and another added: "Aww love this mama!" A third remarked: "Can remember doing something similar."
