However, The Sun has reported that the rugby star has sparked a new "romance" with a woman he met only a few weeks after his marriage breakdown.
An insider also claimed that he dropped by the family home last week to collect his passport. “He said he was going on holiday,” an insider has claimed. “It’s thought he’s taken his new missus so they can be out of the public eye.
“Helen’s holding it together well, which is admirable given she was blindsided by his new relationship.”
The source continued to The Sun: “Mutual friends think he’s treated her appallingly. It’s a shock to them that he’s moved on so soon after she announced the marriage was over.”
Helen announced last week that she and her husband are “no longer a couple”. the Blue Peter star announced the news in a post on her Instagram stories, writing: “Very sad to say that Richie ant I are no longer a couple.
“He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children.”
