Lucy Beaumont has finally broken her silence about her divorce from fellow comedian Jon Richardson. The news of their split came in April of this year, shortly after the fifth season of their show had aired. Lucy and Jon had been married since 2015, after being set up by mutual friend and fellow comedian, Roisin Conaty. They also welcomed a daughter together in 2016.
In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Lucy opened up about the reasons behind their decision to keep their split private. Despite their public personas and the attention their marriage received, Lucy and Jon agreed to not discuss the details of their relationship's end. "People might think I should talk about it because we were so public and everyone knew us as a couple, but I won't," Lucy explained. "We both agreed that while it might be weird for other people not hearing anything about it, we wouldn't talk about anything to do with the marriage or each other."
Their chemistry on and off-screen made them fan favorites, with their TV show Meet The Richardsons showcasing their married life. However, their marriage ultimately came to an end earlier this year with Jon paying Lucy a settlement of £1.625million. In the interview, Lucy also hinted at a new, more assertive chapter in her life now that she's in her forties. "I don't feel any different really, just a bit angrier and not willing to take any s**t from anyone," she shared.
The couple's relationship was well-known to the public, largely due to their comedic collaborations. However, their decision to keep the details of their split private may have come as a surprise to many fans. In a resurfaced clip from their joint appearance on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Lucy offered a frank assessment of their marriage. When host Jimmy Carr asked her what made her decide to settle, Lucy replied, "I don't see this for life, isn't there a song Just Passing Through? A season, a reason or a lifetime." She went on to mention that before Jon, she had never even eaten an avocado. Despite their split, Lucy and Jon have clearly shared many happy moments together.
As one of the UK's most beloved comedic couples, the news of their divorce has shocked many fans. However, it seems that both Lucy and Jon have moved on and are focused on their separate lives.
