Helen and Richie shocked fans when they announced they were calling time on their eight year marriage earlier this year.
The popular presenter and the rugby league player announced they had split not long after they had welcomed their third child.
She wrote in April: “Very sad to say that 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.”
The Celeb Report reported that Richie had quickly embarked on a romance with a mystery new woman who we later revealed to be successful marketing executive Stephanie Thirkill.
The new couple announced they were expecting with a post to social media, with Richie thought to have told Helen just days before.
Before Helen and Richie broke up they were busy renovating a house in Yorkshire near their family home, and were just too busy to spend quality time together.
According to The Mirror, Helen said: “No… We’re not in the house together – we are staying out of each other’s way.
“We say this is the dream as we have breakfast, lunch and dinner together but then look after the kids in shifts.
“You appreciate the other in this situation. I don’t think he’ll ever say again, ‘What do you do with the kids all day?’ Sometimes I would get in from work and he’d be that husband that would look at the kitchen and say, ‘How is this still a mess when she’s been off all day?’
“Now he’s done it he’s like, ‘How does she stay sane?'”
