After moving on following his split with Vanessa Feltz, Ben Ofoedu has now split with his girlfriend after just. year together

Vanessa Feltz's ex Ben Ofoedu has split from Precious Muir after just one year together.

Vanessa, 62, ended their relationship last year when she discovered her then-fiancé Ben had been unfaithful at times during their 16-year relationship. Ben, 52, went on to date Precious but the pair have now called time on their romance, despite previously telling friends they planned to wed.

"I could always see a future with Precious because we connect so well, laugh so much and enjoy one another. However, with both our schedules being so manic and life moving so fast we have decided to part ways romantically but hold onto our friendship." Precious added:

"Ben needs a partner who can settle down right now and have children sooner rather than later. Due to our age difference, for me, I would like to wait a bit longer, perhaps within five years' time, who knows. There is nothing worse than misleading someone once you know how you feel about something like this and know how important it is to the other person. I will always love him to pieces and wish the best for him. He's a good man and has only treated me like a princess."

Ben and Precious started dating after meeting at London Fashion Week last year and Precious said: "We talk about everything and always encourage each other that's why it's so hard to separate but we both know we can't have the relationship we used to have. The pressure of expectations on our public relationship made things very difficult." Ben said: "To be truly romantically involved with someone it deserves time and due to the nature of our work, this is something we both cannot give at this very moment."

The former couple were recently seen looking loved up at the Heinz Salad Cream event in London back in September where they enjoyed a passionate kiss, oblivious to onlookers. Dressed in his usual smart attire, Precious was seen wearing a black corset teamed with a pair of denim jeans and silver heels.

Earlier this year, Ben accused Vanessa of "stealing the best years of my life", as he claimed he gave up on the idea of having his own children to be with the TV star, who is ten years older than him. But he said he was happy to do so to be with the mum of two. Vanessa first met Ben back in 2005 following her divorce from surgeon Michael Kruer, who she shares two daughters with,, Allegra, 37 and Saskia, 34. And this was allegedly down to him cheating on the former talk show host.

Speaking about her split from Ben in 2022, who had reportedly also been unfaithful, she told TalkTV: "It’s now clear that it’s over and I feel that you know once the trust is gone you can’t really get that back. I’m pretty disappointed and shocked about those horrible things but also full of resolve because I’m not going to let this defeat me." At the time, Ben said that he was left hurt as Vanessa had refused to marry him, which made him insecure. The former R&B star is now set to sing on P&O cruises next year.
