Comedian Jon Richardson has recently opened up about his dating life, following his highly publicized divorce from fellow comedian Lucy Beaumont. The couple, who were married for nine years, announced their split earlier this year and it was reported that Jon received a seven-figure payout from Lucy.
During a comedy gig for Absolute Radio at the London Palladium, Jon took the stage and revealed that he is currently single. He commented on his relationship status after fellow comedian Judi Love had joked about her own dating life. Jon quipped, "It makes me think I'm so happy being single."
Later in the show, Jon made a humorous remark about no longer having to run the tap in hotel bathrooms to be polite, now that he is single. The event was held for The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity and featured other comedians such as Dara O'Briain and Josh Widdicombe.
Fans were shocked when Jon and Lucy announced their split in April of this year. The couple first met in 2015, when they were set up by mutual friend and fellow comedian, Roisin Conaty. They quickly became a well-known couple in the public eye, even starring in their own TV show, "Meet the Richardsons," which showcased their married life.
Lucy has previously spoken out about the split, stating that she won't be discussing it publicly out of respect for their privacy and their daughter, Elsie, who they co-parent. In a statement, the couple announced, "After 9 years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated. We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways."
While their split may come as a surprise to fans, Jon and Lucy have made it clear that their main focus is their daughter's well-being and they ask for privacy during this sensitive time. They have also mentioned that they will not be making any further comments on the matter.
Despite their separation, Jon and Lucy remain committed to co-parenting and their daughter's happiness. And as for Jon's dating life, it seems he is content with being single for now. But who knows what the future holds for this funnyman.
