Ben, 53, called time on his engagement with Vanessa, 63, in 2023 after 16 years together.
Now Ben has appeared to take yet another dig at former fiance and TV star Vanessa while on his honeymoon with his new wife.
The singer celebrated his wife’s 30th birthday and posted a video of the pair enjoying a drink on a picturesque terrace, where he filmed Vanessa before turning the camera himself.
When the camera was on him, it showed him wearing a black cap with “2.0” embroidered on the front, which could be a dig at his former fiance by referring to his wife as his new Vanessa.
Ben captioned the post: “Jay-Z’s quote is, “Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t.”
It is not the first time Ben seemed to take a swipe at Vanessa Feltz and following his recent wedding at a Cumbria castle, told on Instagram how his nuptials were “a new beginning” and added: “I wasted 17 years of my life.”
He also opened up on his wedding, ahead of his big day.
Ben told MailOnline: “I have always wanted to be married since I was seven years old. I always wanted to be with someone who would take my surname.
“I almost gave up on marriage, thinking there wasn’t a lady that would walk down the aisle for me.
“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.”
TV star Vanessa dumped her fiancé Ben two years ago after suspicions that he had cheated on her with several women.
The This Morning segment presenter spoke of her “shock” and “heartbreak” over the singer’s suspected infidelity at the time.
Amid a string of allegations that Ben cheated with a number of women, Vanessa was horrified to discover his “double life”.
It was understood she discovered a trail of emails and social media messages that led her to uncover the infidelity.
