Former soap star Helen Flanagan has reunited with ex Scott Sinclair to celebrate their son Charlie’s fourth birthday. The 34-year-old Coronation Street actress was with footballer Scott, 35, for 13 years and they share three children. As well as youngest Charlie, they are also parents to daughters Matilda, nine, and six-year-old Delilah.
Despite previously revealing how her and Scott “don’t like each other”, the soap star appeared to put their differences behind them as they celebrated Charlie’s special day with a Paddington Bear themed birthday party.
Taking to Instagram, Helen shared a family snap of her and the kids. All were dressed in blue and red outfits, with Helen wearing a stunning strapless dress from designer Nadine Merabi, which retails at £300. She captioned the post: “Best day for celebrating Charlie’s 4th Birthday. Thank you @jaydeeliseevents for making the party so special.” Ex Scott also took to social media to share a cute snap with his son to his Instagram stories.

It comes after Helen revealed in an interview last year that she “refused” to speak to Scott after their communication descended into arguments. Speaking on Charlotte Dawson’s Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: “I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other. We don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on. I do know that Scott – he’d never admit it – cares about me too and he does love me.
‘But I’m so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven’t got another argument in me. As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven’t got the energy in me again, I’ve done all that with the father of my kids.”
However, it seems the exes are on better terms these days – and both have found love again with new partners. Helen is now with former footballer Robbie Talbot. And things have been going so well that Robbie, 45, – who also has three kids – is now thought to have moved into Helen’s Lancashire home.
While Scott is now in a relationship with model Louise Tarver. Reliving the moment Helen realised Scott had moved on, she admitted she screamed down the phone at her ex after finding snaps of his new girl on her iPad.
She explained: “I saw who Scott was seeing on the iPad. We were split up for over a year and then I saw a very beautiful girl, glamorous and very very pretty girl. And I saw all the pictures and even though we were separated, and even though I had dated, I still rang him up and said, ‘I f*****g hate you’ on the train, and everyone must have thought this woman is a psycho.”
