Una Healy breaks her silence on split from Aidan Coleman
The Saturdays singer, 43, and the retired Irish jockey reportedly split 'amicably' after several months of dating.
Una Healy has broken her silence on her shock split from Aidan Coleman, just days after she and newly-single Danny Cipriani were pictured leaving in a taxi together at the Celebrity Bear Hunt premiere afterparty.
The Saturdays singer, 43, and the retired Irish jockey, 36, reportedly split 'amicably' after several months of dating.
Speaking about the heartbreaking split for the first time, Una said her stint on Celebrity Bear Hunt forced her to 'dust herself off and try again' and move 'onwards and upwards'.
Una praised the Netflix show and Bear Grylls for giving her the boost to keep going amid her breakup.
When asked if she has split from Aidan, she said: 'Yes, I’m not going to talk about that – it’s onwards and upwards.
'I think I’m prepared for anything coming out of this jungle experience. I feel very tough from it, and I think you have to be tough in life.Â

'Dust yourself off, try again and believe in yourself – all those things. That’s one of the things Bear Grylls said to me.Â
'He gives us all a pep talk, and he said, "The one thing I admire about you is your never give up attitude". I would say that to everyone, just never give up.'
It comes after Una and her Celebrity Bear Hunt co-star Danny Cipriani enjoyed quality time together after the star-studded afterparty at Kettners on Tuesday as they shared a taxi home.
The pair no doubt knew each other before the show, with former rugby WAG Una married to Danny's England teammate Ben Foden.Â
Una was married to rugby star Ben from 2012 until 2018 and has Aoife Belle, 11 and nine-year-old Tadhg with him.Â
They divorced after he was unfaithful to her and she started dating Limerick hurler David Breen that year but split with him by February 2020.
Yet prior to working alongside each other on Celebrity Bear Hunt fears were raised that they could end up in a heated situation over Ben's comments from back in 2010.
In a previous interview with The Mirror, Ben told the publication that Danny should have focused on his rugby more than his wild antics off the pitch.Â

Speaking about the heartbreaking split for the first time, Una said her stint on Celebrity Bear Hunt forced her to 'dust herself off and try again' and move 'onwards and upwards'
He said at the time: 'My girlfriend is in the limelight more than me. If I am ever pictured with her it's normally, "Here is Una Healy... and rugby boyfriend Ben Foden". I'm never going to be the main focus.
'I've never been a big clubber anyway. It's always been a part of the rugby culture to get drunk - but I do it with the boys! For me, it's rugby, rugby, rugby.
'Cipriani has been a bit unlucky. He has probably done it a bit too soon. He needed to concentrate on his rugby a little bit more.'
A source then told The Sun last month: 'Danny is still fuming about it.
'This will make it awkward for them both as Una tries to keep a good relationship with Ben for sake of her kids and now she has to be around someone who hates her ex.
'It's not exactly comfortable for either of them and could see them clashing.'
Danny and Una no doubt had plenty to talk about, given they're both newly single.Â
Una candidly spoke of the 'mild form of PTST' she experienced after completing the show.Â

She admitted: 'I did experience a mild form of PTST, and he told me that can happen – it’s very natural, because you’re coming back into your natural environment, but you have adapted this whole new way of life.Â
'He prepared me for PTST and I had it, and I had a few aftershocks and nightmares and stuff, but they subsided quite quickly.
On Monday, it was claimed Una had split from her Aidan, just a few months after she went public with their romance.
A source close to the singer confirmed the news to the Irish Mirror, saying the couple have 'split amicably' after several months of dating.
And it seems the retired Irish jockey has already moved on as he's been spotted on the dating app Bumble, with his profile reading that he's looking for 'fun' and 'casual dates'.
Aidan has also recently packed his bags and moved back to England after spending six months in Ireland, where Una currently resides, amid reports of the breakup.
In a recent interview with TDN live, he candidly admitted: 'I am not a great sleeper at the best of times but I am very worried about the fact that I moved back to Ireland six months ago but just couldn't settle here.Â
'My bags are packed and I am going back to the UK today—a place where I have spent half of my life—but I am worried that this move is not the answer, either. I hope it is. I really do, because I don't want to feel like this for the rest of my life.'Â

After splitting from her cheating ex in 2018, the Saturdays singer, 42, began dating Limerick hurler David Breen that year but split by February 2020Â Â
In 2023, Una joked about being 'hoodwinked' into a throuple with boxer David Haye and his girlfriend Sian Osborne, describing the experience as the 'worst six months of my life'Â
Following her split from Ben, Una struck up a relationship with an unnamed Dublin-based police officer that came to an end in May 2022.
It was then reported that she was in a three-way relationship with David Haye, 44, and model Sian Osborne, 31 - fuelling the claims by posting a cosy snap of the trio on holiday in Morocco.
Yet she went on to clarify that she was never actually part of a 'throuple', revealing the only person she was dating was David - although he was simultaneously dating Sian.
After calling an end to her time with David, she was said to be dating the voice of Love Island Australia - Stephen Mullen - in August but they split two months later.
