The rugby star enjoyed a pool party in Connecticut over the weekend to celebrate his birthday.

The couple were joined by their newborn daughter Farrah, and Ben’s two children Aoife Belle and Tadgh – who he shares with his ex-wife Una Healy.

Ben was reunited with Aoife Belle, 8, and his five-year-old son Tadgh last week – after spending months apart due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 35-year-old introduced his eldest children to their baby sister for the first time, and shared photos on their reunion on Instagram.

Ben and Jackie tied the knot last August after just two weeks of dating – one year after he split from Una Healy.

Confirming the news on Instagram at the time, Ben wrote: “This last year has been by far my toughest and most turbulent for a number of reasons that many of you I’m sure are aware of, in some way or another.”

“But I met a girl who seriously swept me off my feet and in a time of hardship showed me love, a deep devoted love. People will say we are mad or crazy or even fools, as @snackyjax and I had only been dating seriously for a little over 2 weeks before deciding to get married.”

He continued: “But when someone like her comes in to your life, why would I wait? ????????‍♂️ The people who needed to know, such as close family and friends were told before anyone else and they are happy for me including my beautiful X wife @unahealy who I love even more for her blessing.”

“Life is short and you only get one and it’s worth living. Jackie is the greatest human being I’ve ever come across – she’s beautiful inside and out, intelligent, charming, funny, generous, kind, gentle, energetic the list goes on.”

“She will be a great step mum to Aoife and Tadhg and offers me a future I can’t wait to explore with her. My heart is full and I honestly couldn’t be happier, so those that want to bring negativity or try and tear me down go ahead.”

“My life is great and I hope you all will one day feel happiness like i feel while I write this caption.”

“I love you @snackyjax I can’t wait to see where our lives lead together you brought excitement and joy to my life and I couldn’t be prouder having stand at my side as Mrs Foden. (BTW the witness is Jackie’s sister @leila.bela thanks you too hun for being a legend),” he added.
