Ben Foden's wife Jackie Belanoff-Smith slams 'Una fanatics'

Ben Foden's wife Jackie Belanoff-Smith has passionately defended her husband's parenting skills in response to internet trolls.

Socialite and entrepreneur Jackie - who gave birth to the couple's first child together, daughter Farrah, last week - said Foden was a "good man" who made "one f****** mistake".

Since Farrah's birth, Jackie said she's received online abuse from people who she dubbed "Una fanatics", with the trolls accusing Foden of not seeing the children he shares with Una Healy anymore.

One of the sick messages, which Jackie posted a screenshot of, asked whether Foden would choose to save his baby daughter of his eldest child Aoife from a burning building.

"Stumbled upon this healthy lady's request to send me a message... Nice reminder to continue to not even look at that section of messages...

"Jesus people are so f*****g dark and miserable... GET A LIFE." Jackie wrote.

She added: "To answer your question it'd be the same degree of difficulty as it aoife and tadhg were in the same situation and he has to choose. What an asinine f*****g question."

Jackie then explained that travel restrictions had prevented Foden from seeing his two children with Una.

"To be clear, Ben is f*****g suffering not being able to fly back to see his kids. They were supposed to be with us in April but flights were cancelled.

"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. The only thing I've ever even seen Ben was over a video of Tadhg missing him.

"Ben speaks to the kids EVERY DAY via. Facetime. We spend hours almost every single day playing in their virtual reality apps wih them, like Roblox. What we can do we are doing we are trying.

"These Una-worshipping fanatics are literally the worst most hateful people I've ever encountered. Ben made one f*****g mistake. Move on a**holes.

"He is a good man. He is a loving father."

The socialite and entrepreneur welcomed their first child last week.

The pair got married nine months ago, just two weeks after they met, Foden said his ex-wife Una Healy gave the couple her "blessing" in a lengthy statement on Instagram which confirmed the news.
