Ryan Giggs' ex-wife Stacey 'approves' of his pregnant girlfriend Zara Charles ... trends now
Ryan Giggs' ex-wife is said to 'approve' of the footballer's girlfriend Zara Charles.
Stacey Giggs, 44, divorced Ryan, 50, in 2017 after 10 years of marriage, after it emerged that he had been having an eight-year affair with his brother's wife, Natasha.
The pair have remained amicable for the sake of their children, Zach, 17, and Liberty, 21, who they have been quietly co-parenting.
Now as Ryan prepares to welcome a third child - this time with lingerie model Zara, 36 - Stacey is said to have given her blessing.
She is also said to have spent Christmas 2022 with Ryan and Zara as a 'blended family.'

A source told The Sun: 'Stacey approves of Zara. Her and Ryan have been through a lot but they have moved on and she's only interested in him being happy, because that makes him a good dad to their kids. There is no animosity.'
MailOnline has contacted Stacey's representatives for comment.
Stacey and Ryan settled their £40million High Court divorce battle in November 2017, with their legal team announcing they 'remain firm friends'.
Lawyers shared a statement that read: 'Ryan and Stacey Giggs are pleased to say that they have managed to reach a financial settlement in their divorce.
'This concludes the divorce proceedings and they will not be making any further comment.
'The terms of the settlement are confidential, but both wished to express their sincere thanks to their respective legal teams.
'They are pleased to leave this chapter of their lives as firm friends.'
The court battle followed the very public breakdown of their marriage as Ryan's multiple affairs were exposed.
His affair with Natasha started while his wife-to-be Stacey was pregnant with their first child and continued for eight years.
In 2010, two weeks prior to Natasha and Rhodri getting married, Natasha fell pregnant with Ryan''s child.
She had an abortion after the star delivered £500 in cash on his bicycle as a contribution to the cost.
At the same time he was sleeping with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas, later spending £150,000 on a super-injunction in a bid to keep the relationship secret.

Stacey started dating The Wanted star Max George in 2018, with Max previously calling Stacey 'the one', after meeting way back in 2011 at V festival.
However the couple temporarily split in March 2022 when Stacey reportedly grew suspicious about her boyfriend's close relationship with Maisie Smith, who he had spent two months with on the Strictly tour.
After a few days apart, the couple reconciled before Stacey reportedly dumped Max on July 25 after the Maisie rumours refused to die down.
Days later, Maisie and Max confirmed they were dating.
