Rugby player Richie Myler has become a dad again as his partner Stephanie Thirkill has given birth, it has been reported. Richie, who is the ex-husband of Helen Skelton, is said to have been absent from his team, Leeds Rhinos' match against Hull Kingston Rovers on Friday evening (March 31).
After he was missing from the game, Richie's team coach Rohan Smith confirmed that the star did not play as he was in hospital with Stephanie following the birth of their first child together. Rohan told The Mirror: "Richie has spent a bunch of time in hospital with the birth of his new little baby, so we've given him a little time off to settle in at home."
Richie already has three children from his previous relationship with Countryfile and Strictly star Helen: Ernie, Louis and Elsie. It was announced that he was expecting a fourth child with Stephanie in October 2022, just months after his split from Helen and the birth of their third child together.
