Ben Foden and his wife Jackie delighted fans with the happy news that they’ve welcomed their daughter Farrah into the world last week. But their special moment was sadly tainted when Jackie was forced to hit out at cruel comments she’d received in her DMs about Ben.

Defending her hubby, Jackie revealed he’s struggling with being apart from his other children, Aoife, eight, and Tadhg, five, who are in the UK with their mum, Saturdays singer Una Healy, while Ben and Jackie remain in America amid the coronavirus outbreak.

“To be clear, Ben is f**king suffering not being able to fly back to see his kids. They were supposed to be with us in April but flights were cancelled,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. “We are waiting and checking EVERY DAY on updates on flights btw the US and England. We are hoping to have them all summer. This pandemic has force separated us.
