Helen and Chet, 34, are already parents to Ocean, Elvis and Peach.
Chet and Helen reunited on the fourth series of Ex On The Beach in 2016, where Chet described her as 'the one who got away'.
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Ocean, on 11th November 2019 after Helen endured a 22-hour labour.
The penned then had son Elvis a year later, on 27th December 2020.
While they then welcomed their third child together, daughter Peach, in December 2022.
In July 2023, Helen announced she had split from Chet and accused him of cheating on her in an explosive statement.
The reality star took to her Instagram Stories to announce that she has broken up with Chet after eight years together.
In a statement confirming their split, Helen claimed that she has put up with 'endless' cheating allegations during their romance as she detailed why they had split.
She claimed she has now seen 'evidence' that Chet cheated on her earlier this month and described the alleged incident as the 'final straw'.
She penned: 'I would like to inform everyone that I have made the decision to finally leave Chet. I have put up with endless cheating allegations throughout our eight-year relationship and although it hasn't been easy to deal with, I have always chosen to believe him and ignore the rumours because it was the easier thing to do, even though every time my heart broke a little bit more inside.
'However I was finally presented with the evidence to prove that without a doubt, he cheated on me in Devon at the beginning of July. This is something I cannot choose to ignore.
However, the pair patched up their differences later that year, with Helen revealing on Instagram that allegations turned out to be untrue
'This has proved to be the final straw, and I am making this choice because I know it is best for myself, my children and our future.
'Chet can continue to live his life how he wants but the difference will be that it won't be at the expense of my feelings anymore.'
However, the pair patched up their differences later that year, with Helen revealing on Instagram that allegations turned out to be untrue.
In an Instagram Q&A with fans, she shared: 'Chet and I are back together. We went through hell and back this summer over an allegation which didn't turn out to be true.
'I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines.
'Chet always denied the allegation and later down the line cleared his name.'

Harry Potter star faces pile-on for backing Rowling
Tom Felton, the Harry Potter actor, said he was 'grateful' to JK Rowling despite other stars from the film series shunning the author for her gender-critical views. Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, addressed the ongoing controversy around Rowling's stance on transgender issues. Speaking to Variety at the Tony Awards about his part in the franchise, the actor, 37, said: 'The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world… and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than 'Potter'. 'And she's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful.' His comments are markedly different from the other leading Harry Potter stars, who have all publicly criticised the author, and are likely to provoke criticism online. Rowling, who once said she would rather go to jail than refer to a trans person by their preferred pronouns, first publicly voiced her opinion on the issue five years ago, when she mocked a brand that used the term 'people who menstruate' instead of 'woman' in an article. The author, 59, was branded 'transphobic' by activists and criticised by the film franchise's stars, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Felton, who will make his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, said that he was not particularly 'attuned' to the trans row, but that it does not impact his work in the popular franchise. Speaking about the reprisal of his role as Malfoy in the stage show, he said: 'I think we all thought that the fandom flame might be doused over the years, but clearly it's not. 'The most exciting part is to do it live. It took nine months, more or less, to shoot a film, and this is all compact. This is all reimagined into a very loving, new type of story. And I get to be a dad, which is really fun.' His run on the Broadway show begins in November and marks the first time an original Harry Potter cast member has joined the stage production of Cursed Child. Elsewhere, the former cast members have distanced themselves from the author with whom they once had a close relationship. Rowling has previously said she would not forgive the Harry Potter actors for criticising her trans rights views, telling them last year to 'save their apologies' for 'traumatised detransitioners'. 'Eroding women's hard-won rights' She wrote on X: 'Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.' Earlier this year, she appeared to renew the public disagreement with the trio of stars on social media by suggesting that Radcliffe, Watson and Grint had 'ruined' the movie franchise. Responding to a post on X in March that said 'What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?', the author wrote: 'Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.' Rowling has found herself increasingly at odds with other actors who made their names in the franchise since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that trans women are legally not women. After the ruling, stars of HBO's Harry Potter reboot series – including Paapa Essiedu, Eddie Redmayne and Katie Leung – signed a pro-trans open letter 'in solidarity' with members of the LGBT community. The author accused them of being 'motivated by fear', adding: 'Gender ideology could give medieval Catholicism a run for its money when it comes to punishing heretics, so isn't it common sense to keep your head down and recite your Hail Mulvaneys?' Last year, Warner Bros, which owns HBO, defended Rowling's 'right to express her personal views' amid the ongoing row, saying that the new series 'will only benefit from her involvement'.

Beth, review: a baffling and muddled sci-fi drama about race and IVF
Beth is Channel 4's first 'digital original drama'. What does this mean? Your guess is as good as mine. But it's being shown as a 45-minute programme on regular television and in 15-minute mini-episodes on YouTube. 'Truly groundbreaking,' says the man from Channel 4. Hmm. The thinking seems to be that young people with chronically short attention spans watch YouTube, and Channel 4 needs young people. In which case, they've made a baffling choice of subject, because does anyone under the age of 30 want to watch a stifling drama about a couple going through IVF? It's billed as a sci-fi thriller, which piques the interest a bit. Think of it as an undercooked episode of Black Mirror. Joe and Molly (Nicholas Pinnock and Abbey Lee) have been trying for a baby. They've had multiple rounds of fertility treatment and multiple miscarriages. Now at the end of the road, they're told by their doctor that there is a chance they could conceive naturally. 'Once you remove the stress and strain, miracles can happen. That's the irony with IVF,' he explains. He also puts his hand on Molly's knee in the consulting room, which we are invited to find a bit suspicious. Is there something going on between those two? When Molly does get pregnant, and the baby arrives – white and bearing no resemblance to Joe – the question hanging in the air is: who's the father? We skip from the labour room to a few years later. You may be wondering where the sci-fi element kicks in, and the answer is about five minutes from the end. The big reveal is bizarre. Until then, though, it is just a little bit odd. Molly's mother becomes unnaturally freaked out by a child's drawing. There is some business with a wall clock. As for the title, I still have no idea who Beth is. Film-maker Uzo Oleh has a background in high-end fashion photography and he has crafted something that looks beautiful, not least because Lee is a model who has appeared on the cover of Vogue. As an entry into television writing and directing, it's a promising start, but too hung up on the visuals. The tone is arty. The casting is a problem, because while the talented Pinnock acts like a regular guy invested with a full range of human emotions, Lee is at an icy remove even in scenes where she's supposed to be full of warmth. At times, as Molly and Joe wear their expensive clothes in a tasteful apartment, a couple supposedly in love but displaying about as much emotional connection as Nick Robinson and Emma Barnett on the Today programme, it reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut. It helps to watch it twice, once you've seen the twist. But when the emphasis is on the convenience of 15-minute instalments, will anybody have the time to do that?

The world was stunned when we adopted a baby we found on the subway. But it's what he said about it years later that terrified us
When Peter Mercurio wrote his new book, 'There: We Found our Family In A New York City Subway Station,' he sought the approval of just one person. He wanted his son, Kevin, to give his honest opinion - after all, the now 24-year-old is the central character, without whom there would be no story.
