‘Broody’ Helen Flanagan reveals she’s planning to have more children with new boyfriend Robbie Talbot
HELEN Flanagan has admitted that she is planning to have even more children with her new love, Robbie Talbot.
The former Coronation Street actress, 34, put her new romance on full display during the most recent series of the E4 reality hit Celebs Go Dating.
Mum-of-three Helen had originally signed up to the dating show as a single woman but was soon forced to admit she had fallen in love with Robbie, 44, having dated him outside of the programme.
The couple, who first met in a restaurant in upmarket Alderley Edge, Cheshire, in February, decided to then put their romance up for public consumption by exploring their growing connection on the TV series in a huge first.
Just eight months on from their first meeting, and their relationship seemingly more solid than ever, TV beauty Helen had admitted she is already very much planning on having kids with Robbie.
Helen has three children, two daughters and a son, from her previous union with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair.
Robbie is also a dad to two girls, aged 14 and 10, but the pair could soon be joined by even more arrivals of their own.
In a new interview with OK Magazine, Helen confessed: “I’m always broody.
“But my pregnancies have always been hard. I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum, so I get really terrible sickness.
“When I was pregnant with Charlie I had such guilt, even now, about not spending enough time with the others because I was poorly.
“But still, I can’t help but be broody. I love babies.”
However, Robbie appeared to suggest that it would not be happening any time soon yet as he added: “There’s a 10-year age gap between us, but I wouldn’t rule it out.
“Not right now, maybe in the future.”
Helen also admitted that Robbie’s fatherly instincts and the way he acts as a dad was a “huge green flag” for her and attracted her to him even more.
She added in the interview: “Robbie has his kids four times a week, which for me is a huge green flag.
“He’s a great daddy. And our kids all get along so well.
What do we know about Helen Flanagan’s new boyfriend Robbie Talbot?
HELEN Flanagan has revealed that she is in a new relationship.
While appearing on Celebs Go Dating, she confessed that she was already taken – here’s everything we know about her boyfriend Robbie Talbot.
Helen has opened up about her relationship with former footballer Robbie Talbot.
He is a decade older than the actress.
Robbie was born in Liverpool on October 31, 1979 which is how he earned his nickname Halloween Hitman in football.
He has played for a series of non-league teams such as Burton Albion, Burscough and Morcambe.
He then became a coach at Ashton in 2010.
Robbie is retired from football.
He left his role as Assistant Manager at Ashton due to family and work commitments in 2011.
It’s unknown what he has done for work since leaving football.
Helen admitted that she was dating Robbie while appearing on Celebs Go Dating.
In a first for the show, it has been revealed that her relationship had to be written into the series due to requirements that those taking part have to be single.
The pair went public at her birthday party on August 10, 2024.
“Carina and Matilda are the same age and are so cute together, and I consider myself a friend to Sophia, we have great chats.
“For me, the most romantic thing Robbie could do is be kind to my kids. He tucks them up at night and reads them bedtime stories.
“To me that means so much more than flowers or chocolates.”
Helen shared her three children with her ex Scott who currently lives in Bristol where he currently plays football for Bristol Rovers.
It means he is away from the family home in Cheshire but Helen admitted that whilst this means he doesn’t get to spend huge amounts of time with their kids, she is “happy with the agreement”.
Helen further added that even with Scott away, her live-in nanny can help to watch the children for when she and Robbie wish to have some alone time.
She told OK: “I much prefer having my children all the time. I really struggle when I’m not with my kids.
“I have a nanny living with me at the moment, which really works. So if Robbie and I want to go out, or have any time together, we can.”
