TV presenter Richard Hammond and his wife have revealed their decision to go their separate ways after an “amazing 28 years together”. In a joint statement shared on social media, former Top Gear and The Grand Tour presenter Richard and newspaper columnist Amanda ‘Mindy’ Hammond, who he married in 2002, explained that although their marriage is ending, their family bond remains strong.
They stated: “A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently. Our marriage is coming to end, but we’ve had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.”
The statement continued: “We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created. We won’t be commenting further and sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time. With Love, Richard and Mindy.”
