ABBY COHEN has finally broken her silence about her ex husband Ben's relationship with Kristina Rihanoff.
Abby, who is the mother of the rugby player's two daughters, has reportedly said that she believes that Ben and Kristina got together before their split last year.
Kristina and Ben hit headlines recently when it emerged that they are dating, after starring on Strictly Come Dancing together in 2013.
The professional dancer has since faced backlash, with people suggesting that she could be behind Ben's split with his wife.
Abby has now spoken out about the break-up, describing it as "the most traumatic thing that's ever happened to her".

In an interview with The Sun On Sunday, she said: "My husband, who I was with for 23 years, unconditionally loved and was completely loyal to in every respect, has left me for a f***ing Russian dancer.
"The last two years have been the most traumatic thing to ever happen to me. He's done the dirty on me. I want people to know.
"I don't want to cause stress or further damage by stirring things up. But I'm just trying to recover from what has been the most horrific time of my life," she is said to have added.
Kristina - who is reportedly thinking about quitting Strictly following the backlash - defended her relationship with Ben last month, denying that she's a home-wrecker.
"He left his wife a year ago. Recently we started dating but we’re allowed to see each other as two single people," she said.
"I don’t know why I am always attacked. I am a hardworking, self-made person. I support five people in my family in Russia," the 37-year-old added.
She went on to describe the backlash as "such double standards" as there have been other relationships to come out of the BBC One show.
"It is such double standards," she told the Daily Mirror. "Pasha [Kovalev] and Rachel [Riley] got together after the show but everyone believed them when they said they were just friends.
"Flavia [Cacace] had three relationships. Janette [Manrara] was with Pasha, Artem [Chigvintsev] and now Aljaz [Skorjanec] – but I am the horrible one."
