Is Helen Flanagan married and does she have any children?
Helen isn’t married, but she was engaged to long term love Scott Sinclair.

Sadly in October 2022, The Sun exclusively revealed that the couple had split up.
A source said: “Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.
“They hit a rough patch in the summer and after Helen came back from South Africa it ended for good.”
Helen and Scott share three children together, Matilda (born 2015), Delilah (born 2018) and Charlie (born 2021).
Helen sat the internet ablaze though when she admitted to the Celebs Go Dating love experts that she was “in love” with boxer David Haye.

David is in an open relationship with Sian Osbourne, but Helen found herself conflicted when she realised she wouldn’t be the only woman in David’s life.
That’s not the only bombshell revelation from Helen’s stint on the show, as she revealed that she already had been dating Ronnie Talbot when she signed up.
Helen went on step further to say that she though she was “in love” with the former footballer.
