Helen Flanagan’s former partner, Scott Sinclair, is allegedly pushing her to vacate their shared residence. Helen, known for her role as Rosie Webster on ITV’s “Coronation Street,” currently resides in a luxurious six-bedroom house with their three children.
The decision to separate was made by Helen and Scott, a former Bristol Rovers footballer, in 2022 after being together for 13 years. Despite never getting married, the house near Bolton where Helen lives is registered in Scott’s name.
The opulent property was initially listed for sale at £1.5 million last year but was later discounted to £995,000. Scott reportedly desires Helen to downsize to a smaller dwelling, but sources indicate that the 35-year-old actress is resistant to the idea.
According to insiders, Helen is attached to the neighborhood where she currently resides and is reluctant to disrupt her children’s education. She also values the proximity to her parents’ residence.
A source revealed that Scott covers the house expenses and believes that a six-bedroom house is excessive for Helen and the children. The source mentioned that Helen is adamant about staying put due to her fondness for the location and the children’s settled routines.
Reports suggest that Scott has proposed buying Helen a new four-bedroom house, even offering to transfer ownership to her while ceasing maintenance payments. However, the source emphasized that Helen has contributed to enhancing the property’s value.
Allegedly, Scott intends to sell the house to release equity, a move deemed unreasonable by some. Despite sharing three children, Matilda, Delilah, and Charlie, the former couple’s relationship is strained, and communication reportedly occurs through intermediaries.
During the Christmas season, Helen criticized Scott for missing their son’s nativity play to attend the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In contrast, Scott shared his experiences at the event on social media, expressing his enjoyment.
Looking ahead, Helen is purportedly focused on moving forward from the past and is eager to find love anew. Sources suggest she is ready for a committed relationship where her partner values her children as much as she does.
Representatives for Scott and Helen have been approached for comment by the Mirror.
