Helen Flanagan has reportedly called it quits with boyfriend Robbie Talbot, just over a year after the pair went public with their relationship.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer, 45.
However, friends now claim the mum-of-three has had a change of heart, according to The Sun, and she told Robbie their relationship ‘wasn’t working.’
A source told the publication: ‘They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
‘She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ”This isn’t working”… She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.’

MailOnline has contacted Helen’s representatives for comment.
Just last month Helen admitted she is no longer living with Robbie after he briefly moved into her home, sharing at the time it wasn’t helpful for her children who ‘miss’ their dad.
The actress and her ex fiance Scott Sinclair, 36, separated in 2022 after 13 years together. The pair share three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, four.
She told The Sun: ‘I’d asked him to stay for a while, because I often get quite scared in the house on my own and feel safer with a man there.
‘But Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy’s girl, and she struggles with not seeing Scott as often as she’d like.
‘I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and having my boyfriend there maybe doesn’t help her.’
Robbie had been living in the former Coronation Street star’s home since last month, eight months since the pair began dating.
Speaking on The Mail’s The Life of Bryony podcast in March, she gushed over her relationship with Robbie.

She said: ‘He’s lovely.
‘Everybody loves him. I just met him at a bar. I literally, I just, I could not stop laughing at this guy.’
‘My boyfriend’s actually the funniest guy I’ve ever met. He’s got two kids and he’s, he’s really beautiful with my children.’
‘I think that’s what made me fall more in love with him because he’s so good with my mental health things and that’s the main thing for me that I need.’
‘I need someone that’s good for me mentally and emotionally, that’s my top thing and that’s what I’ve realised.’
‘No disrespect to the father of my children, I’ll always have that love for him, but he didn’t know how to cope with me or didn’t know how to do that, and not everybody does, but because the man that I’m with now really knows how to do that, it makes me happy.’
It comes just after Helen revealed that her friends tried to put her on a ‘man ban’ after she split from Scott.
Looking back at the time of her split from Scott, Helen told The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine: ‘A lot of my friends were trying to put me on a man ban, which obviously didn’t work!
‘I was hurting from the break up and I’ve always just wanted to be loved so I started dating.’
