Helen Flanagan Splits from Boyfriend Robbie Talbot After Year of Dating, Weeks After He Exited Her Home

Helen Flanagan and Boyfriend Robbie Talbot Split After Over a Year Together

Helen Flanagan, 34, has reportedly ended her relationship with boyfriend Robbie Talbot, just over a year after they went public as a couple. The former Coronation Street star, who shares three children with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, 36, is said to have told Robbie their relationship "wasn’t working" due to differing life goals.

Focus on Family and Career
A source told The Sun that Helen, now juggling acting projects and parenting, felt the split was necessary. "She wants to focus on her kids and work. After a heartfelt talk, she decided she needs time alone," the insider shared. Helen, who split from Scott in 2022 after 13 years, shares daughter Matilda, 9, Delilah, 6, and son Charlie, 4, with him.

Earlier this year, Helen revealed Robbie had temporarily moved into her home but admitted it wasn’t ideal for her children. "Matilda misses her dad, and having another man around didn’t help," she explained.

Praise for Ex-Partner Scott Sinclair
Despite the breakup, Helen spoke warmly of Scott, emphasizing their co-parenting bond. "I’ll always love him, but we weren’t right for each other," she said. She also praised Robbie for his support: "He’s amazing with my kids and understands my mental health needs—something I value most."

Friends’ ‘Man Ban’ Advice
Post-Scott, friends reportedly urged Helen to avoid dating. "They tried to put me on a man ban, but I craved companionship," she admitted. However, she now prioritizes self-reflection.
