Richard Hammond recently got candid and opened up about when he found true love in life.

While conversing with The Times, the 56-year-old English television presenter, journalist, and author revealed that he found new love after he started his relationship with his girlfriend, Kiki Glen.

Expressing his feelings, Hammond told the outlet, “It's the best thing that's going on for me. I played golf three times this week. I've taken up more serious running, and I'm going to have a go at a small triathlon next year. Which means I've had to take up wild swimming.”

“My partner took one look at the lake, clapped her hands and said, ‘Oh, darling, doesn't it just make you want to get in?’ No, I spent 40 years avoiding it, he said.”

“But sure enough, the next day, both of us are in wetsuits, swimming. And I absolutely loved it,” he quipped.

For those unaware, the Top Gear Apocalypse star, who was previously married to Amanda Etheridge in May 2002 after a few years of dating and welcomed his two daughters, Isabella and Willow, with her, annulled his 23-year marriage in January 2025.

It is pertinent to mention that Richard Hammond started his relationship with therapist Kiki Glen eight months after his split from his wife.
