Una Healy shares two children with the rugby player

The sportsman said he only wants the best for his former partner.

Ben and his wife Jackie confirmed they were expecting their second child together this week.

Following their special announcement, the dad revealed he has a good relationship with Una now.

Ben said they have a good routine, but it has taken a lot of work.

He told OK! "Una has been very accommodating because she wants Aoife and Tadhg to have a relationship with Farrah.

He explained: "She sends me their school schedules as soon as possible so we can get flights booked for them."

"But I know the distance and the fact their mum and dad aren’t together anymore isn’t ideal," Ben said.

The dad said he loves seeing his older children spend time with his daughter Farrah, whom he shares with his wife Jackie.

Ben and Jackie revealed they were expecting their second child together this week.

The couple had suffered multiple miscarriages before finding out Jackie was pregnant again in April.

They were hesitant about sharing their news after their previous losses, but Jackie is now in her second trimester so they felt it was the right time to announce the special news.

Ben and Jackie are already parents to a daughter named Farrah.

He shares his son Tadhg and daughter Aoife with singer Una Healy.
