Theirs was one of the shock splits of 2018, after their ten year relationship came to an end amid allegations of cheating.
Yet Ben Foden is insistent that, despite being the supposed culprit and famously being seen using dating app Bumble before announcing the divorce, he and Una Healy are 'civil' and that he hopes they are still 'friends'.
He also added, in a recent chat with Now, that he wants her and their two children to visit him in New York, after he moves there this week.

'I'm sure Una wouldn't mind a little holiday in New York. She'll drop the kids with me and then she can go and enjoy the sights.'
