'Like ducks to water' Ben Foden and Una Healy's children hit the slopes during fun-filled New Year's in the US
Ben Foden started 2024 with a bang as he took his kids out skiing for the first time.
The doting dad-of-three has been sharing snaps of Aoife Belle and Tadhg, his children with Una Healy, having a ball with their half-sibling Farrah as they spent Christmas and New Year’s in the US.

He surprised them with a day out on the slopes at the Mount Southington Ski Area and he shared an adorable picture of the trio in their ski gear.

The former England rugby star revealed that things started ‘small’ as he shared a clip of Aoife Belle practising with an instructor.
Things didn’t stay that way for long, however!

Elsewhere, little Farrah dove right into the action as the youngster was seen ‘screaming with joy’ while she skied accompanied by her dad.

Then, Aoife Belle and Tadhg were spotted zooming very confidently along in the snow.
‘And they took to it like ducks to water,’ Ben said.

‘Show me any other kids that pick up skiing this quickly on their first day EVER,’ he captioned another clip of Aoife Belle skiing at a quick pace.

He followed it with another video of his son ‘absolutely shredding’ the slope.
‘Like it’s nothing… let me repeat myself… they’ve NEVER skied before,’ he remarked.

After a day out braving the elements, the dad and his children heated up in the hot tub.

It’s been a fun-filled trip as previously Ben posted snaps of all three of his kids playing together on what looks to be a children’s play park with balls and frames.

The family enjoyed another night out this time to an action-packed Medieval theme park in New Jersey.
Their night out which was documented by Jackie saw them waving flags around and wearing crowns as they watched ‘knights’ jousting and recreating battles on horses. According to Ben, the show was well worth the trip.

Their Christmas comes after Ben announced that he is set to become a dad for the fourth time in October following three heartbreaking miscarriages for the couple.
At the time Jackie told OK! magazine that she had just about allowed herself to believe that their baby would make it this time around.
She said: ‘I kept getting excited about the pregnancies, but nothing stuck. After the third, we kept thinking “We’ll see if it happens, if it does it does; and if it doesn’t it doesn’t. It’s hard not to get your hopes up with you really want another baby.’
In an adorably sweet follow-up clip in November, Ben showed his children attending Jackie’s 30-week scan and excitedly watching their future sibling on screen.
Una meanwhile kept a low profile over Christmas but did choose to post some stunning snaps of herself in a gold dress from a recent photoshoot.
