With Ben and Kristina’s baby on the way, it’s understandable that Abby Blayney is keen to put an official line under her time with her ex-partner of 13 years.
And, speaking to The Mirror, Abby has now confirmed that she is the former rugby star’s ‘ex-wife.’
Abby – who decided to drop the sportsman’s name upon the separation – told the paper: "I’m Ben Cohen’s ex-wife.
"If it wasn’t for that woman me and Ben would still be married. But so what? I’m moving on.”
Ben with his two twin daughters as babies
Ben and Abby married in 2003, and they have two twin daughters together Harriette and Isabelle.
But the former couple’s marriage broke down in 2014, allegedly because of his feelings for his Strictly Come Dancing partner, Kristina Rihanoff.
However both Ben and Kristina have insisted that they never had an affair, saying that they only began their relationship after the breakdown of his marriage to Abby.
In January this year, Kristina made the shock announcement that she is pregnant with the 37-year-old’s child in the Celebrity Big Brother.
During her first week in the house, Kristina Rihanoff dropped a pregnancy bombshell on her fellow CBB housemates (and viewers at home!).
She told them: “There was something [that] happened in my life before I came into the house over Christmas.
"And obviously I thought it’s very private news, you know but because we are living as one family now and everybody is sort of supporting one another now.
"It happened to be that I found that my boyfriend and I are going to have a little one."
The bombshell came just weeks after Abby pledged to move on from her ‘year of hell.’
She said on Twitter: “This year for me has taught me more than I ever knew I could know!
“What happens to people throughout life changes you… For good or for bad, no one can deny that experiences change the way you think, the way you feel and the way you grow as a person.
"Better late than never to find out but it’s true how the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger…
“I am stronger in a way where respect, caring, loving and being appreciated is key and I unfortunately now don’t tolerate those who don’t have the same attitude towards me."
But Abby recently told the Mirror that she now wanted to leave Ben to get on with his new life and new family.
She said: “I don’t want to talk about being the ditched wife. Ben’s getting on with his life. I wish him well with his new family.”
And Abby recently tweeted she’s feeling “on top of the world”.
Although Kristina and Ben have not confirmed their baby's due date, it is believed that she was about three months along in her pregnancy when she made the announcement.
