Ben Foden’s wife Jackie Belanoff has hit back at the suggestion he was a “slimy scammer” and insists he would not be unfaithful to her.
The Dancing On Ice star cheated on his first wife, Saturdays singer Una Healy, which ended their marriage in 2018.
A year later he married American socialite Jackie in New York and they welcomed daughter Farrah in May 2020. Ben is also a father to two children he shares with Una – daughter Aoife, 10, and son Tadhg, seven.
Despite his past behavior, Jackie trusts that Ben will not step out of their marriage.
In a joint interview with the rugby star, she told The Sun: “People see Ben as a slimy, habitual cheater and it really isn’t who he is. I don’t think Ben could cheat on me.
“Everyone says, ‘He cheated on this beautiful, famous pop star – of course he could cheat on you.’ But that’s just not the momentum we have.’

According to Jackie, the pair have the passwords to each other’s phones and tablets and are also tracking each other’s whereabouts on Find My Friends.
As a sign of full disclosure of their relationship, she added that Ben shows her topless photos that women send him on social media.
“We have a very honest and open relationship. We don’t live separate lives. It’s frustrating that Ben’s cheating is brought up all the time,” she said.
Ben is said to have had a romance with a PR assistant and that Una discovered the infidelity after searching his phone.
However, Jackie has defended her spouse, saying he was “depressed and it was a moment of emotional escape at a time when he felt his marriage was already over.”
She added: “Was it wrong? Yes. But do I understand why he did it? Yes. Do I think he would make the same mistake again even if our relationship didn’t work out? No.’
