EXCLUSIVE: Helen Flanagan reveals how famous ‘secret’ boyfriend stole her heart — ‘he had the balls’
Helen Flanagan disclosed her desire to get married to her lover Robbie Talbot.
After nine months of dating the 43-year-old former football player, the 33-year-old actress and him are already making major plans for the future.
Helen, who was previously engaged to Scott Sinclair for four years, spoke in their first joint interview. I still have visions of a lavish wedding; I want the gown, the nuptials, the whole thing. I’m determined to get married.
Robbie, who has two children from a previous marriage, disclosed that he was «open» to the notion of getting married again and starting a family.
«I wouldn’t rule it out, but there’s a 10-year age gap between us,» Robbie said. «Not at this time, perhaps later.»
Together with her footballer ex-partner Scott, Helen is also the mother of three children: three-year-old Charlie, Delilah, six, and nine-year-old Matilda.
When Robbie’s and Helen’s covert romance was made public, it nearly put their relationship in risk. Helen claimed that Robbie had taken on the role of stepfather to her three kids.
When the former Coronation Street star revealed that she already had a secret boyfriend named Robbie outside of the show, she faced criticism.
Helen said, «He’s just amazing, he treats me so well, he’s so kind, really sweet, he’s the loveliest man,» during the talk.
He helps me with my children and will drop Charlie off at daycare. The other day, he assisted me with the children. I can’t ask anything more from him.
Ashley interrupted to inquire, «So, did you know Robbie right away when you met him?» Why did you feel the need to join the agency?
And I kind of really wanted to encourage other single mothers who may have gone through similar experiences before discovering something incredibly beautiful.
«What I would say with Robbie is of course I only want you to be happy but keep your standards high and know what you deserve because you deserve so much,» Ashley advised her pal. It’s quite good to see you content.
