Jamie Ritchie, international rugby star, has broken up with his childhood sweetheart wife and moved in with a close friend after splitting with his own spouse. The Ritchies, who had been together since childhood, now live separate lives with one in Scotland and the other in France with a close friend.
International rugby star Jamie Ritchie has broken up with his childhood sweetheart wife – and she has set up home with a close friend, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The former Scotland captain, 29, recently revealed he will be returning to his homeland following the collapse of his marriage to long-time partner Millie. Millie Ritchie, also 29, has now moved in with one of his closest friends, who has also split from his wife. It is understood that the two couples had previously often socialised together before both marriages collapsed.
The Ritchies' marriage is understood to have abruptly ended last summer just days before the couple were due to move together to the south of France. They had been in the final stages of preparations to relocate after Ritchie agreed to leave Edinburgh for a new contract with French side USA Perpignan. The Ritchies had even packed up the entire contents of their townhouse in the city, to send to storage or take to France in a van.
They had also organised a new home in south-west France but then instead they decided to separate. Jamie Ritchie then left for Perpignan alone, leaving Millie and their family behind in Scotland. Ritchie had enjoyed a wildly successful first year at his new club but recently stunned his bosses by announcing his intention to leave while still under contract for another season to return to Scotland, blaming 'a really difficult period.
' Just days after their split, Ritchie then went to Perpignan alone, leaving Millie and their family behind in Scotland. Ritchie's statement then became personal, continuing: 'The club has been very welcoming, as have the fans, but it's a personal decision I have made to be closer to my kids and my family.
' His statement also mentioned that he has enjoyed a year-long contract with the club and had enjoyed a successful season. Scottish Rugby declined to comment
