Lucy Beaumont once joked that she didn't have high hopes for her marriage with Jon Richardson, saying that it wouldn't last for life. The two comedians were introduced by a mutual friend and fellow comedian, Roisin Conaty, and ended up getting married in 2015. The following year, they welcomed their daughter into the world. However, things took a turn when they announced their joint decision to divorce in April of this year, right after the fifth season of their show, Meet the Richardsons, aired.
Recently, it was reported that Jon, 42, received a seven-figure payout from Lucy, 41, as part of their divorce settlement. This news resurfaced an old clip from their joint appearance on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown last year, where Lucy gave a candid perspective on their marriage. Host Jimmy Carr asked her, "What made you decide to settle?" to which she replied, "I don't see this lasting for life. Isn't there a song called 'Just Passing Through'? A season, a reason, or a lifetime. You meet different types of people in your life, old souls, new souls, and a**holes. Before Jon, I had never even tried an avocado. We've had a wonderful life together, and we have a daughter. Who knows what the future holds."
Jon was taken aback by Lucy's words, asking if she was "breaking up" with him on live television and burying his head in his hands. Lucy reassured him that they have a beautiful daughter and that it has all been worth it. However, after watching the clip again, some viewers couldn't help but point out that Lucy's joke didn't seem so much like a joke anymore.
In their joint statement released in April, the couple announced that after nine years of marriage, they have decided to separate. They asked for privacy during this difficult time for the sake of their daughter, as she is their main priority. The couple first met on the set of their mockumentary-style show, Meet the Richardsons, and have since amassed a fortune of £6 million. Jon is best known for his role as a team captain on Channel 4's 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and hosting the show, Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, with Matt Forde. Lucy has also had a successful career in comedy, appearing on various panel shows such as Would I Lie To You?, The Last Leg, and Have I Got News For You. The couple even made an appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox together.
