Helen Skelton's husband Richie Myler 'in new relationship' just weeks after shock split

Richie Myler is reportedly in another relationship just weeks after his split with Countryfile presenter, Helen Skelton.

Helen announced on Monday (April 25) that the pair, who had been married for eight years, were no longer together. In an emotional Instagram post, the 38-year-old TV star said that Richie had "left the family home".

The couple's split comes four months after the birth of their youngest daughter, Elsie Kate. Helen and Richie also have two sons; Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

And it is now reported that Richie has embarked on a new relationship with a "young businesswoman", whom he has been seen with "several times recently". Insiders have claimed that the Leeds Rhinos star is "in the very early stages of a relationship" with the mystery woman, the Mirror reports.

An insider told The Sun: "Richie appears to have been spending a lot of his free time with this younger, successful businesswoman. They are now in the early stages of a relationship."

Helen announced the end of her eight-year marriage to Richie on Monday, in a post that read: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children."

Helen's statement came shortly after the mum-of-three shared a cryptic quote about the struggles of motherhood, which suggested that she was finding motherhood challenging.

The post read: "A mama is always full of emotions, full of love, full of anxiety and worries, full of exhaustion and lack of energy, full of mum guilt and doubt, full of pride in her kids, full of pure joy. She feels it all, that’s the beauty of her, she carries it all too, and yet she gets up every day and does it all over again."

Richie, 31, is yet to publicly address the split with Helen, whom he married in December 2013.
