Helen Skelton's children and their ages
Last week Helen Skelton announced she had split from her husband Richie Myler. The couple had only just welcomed their third child together four months ago - a daughter named Elsie Kate.
Since marrying in 2013, they also became proud parents to sons Ernie, six, and Louis, four. It was only the week before that Helen was posting snaps looking happy in what seemed to be a family holiday, although Richie wasn't seen in the pics.
Helen and Richie, a professional rugby league player who was born in Cheshire, met in 2011 and hit it off straight away. They were engaged the following year and tied the knot at Kirby Thore’s St Michael’s church in Cumbria in December 2013.
