Ben Ofoedu, the former fiancé of Vanessa Feltz, has sparked speculation that he aimed a dig at his ex after wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with "2.0" during his honeymoon with his new wife, who also happens to be named Vanessa.
The Phats & Small singer married his wife Vanessa in July, just five months after proposing, and the couple were recently seen celebrating her 30th birthday while enjoying drinks on a terrace. In a social media post, he captioned the moment with a Jay-Z quote: "Men lie, women lie, but numbers don't."
This is not the first time Ben has appeared to reference his past relationship. In a post about his wedding, he described it as his "new beginning" and said he "wasted 17 years of my life." He later told MailOnline: "I can't believe the day has come, it is a dream come true. It feels like I've been waiting for this moment all my life. This is the finale of the chapter that was 17 years of my life."
Ben and Vanessa Feltz were together for 16 years before their split in 2023, which followed alleged infidelity on his part. It was believed, though unsubstantiated, that a hoard of emails and social media messages led to the presenter ending the relationship. At the time, Feltz told fans: "People who have been reading about my private life over the weekend will know that my 16-year relationship has come to an end." She added: "I'm very sad. I'm very shocked, but I am going to soldier forth. I hope to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and all of that."
The "2.0" cap worn during his honeymoon has been interpreted as a reference to his new wife, suggesting an upgraded version of his previous relationship. Neither Ben nor Vanessa Feltz has publicly commented on the speculation.
