Former Top Gear and Grand Tour host Richard Hammond is to divorce. After 28 years of marriage, the Hammond couple are separating.
He's done with Top Gear, the Grand Tour and now his wife. After 28 years, British motoring journalist Richard Hammond announces that he and his wife Mindy are going their separate ways.
This is reported by several English media outlets, including The Sun.
– A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family, and this year we will still be a family, but just structured a little differently.
"Our marriage is coming to an end, but we had 28 amazing years and two amazing daughters together," the now-former couple said in a statement.
Neither one nor the other will comment further on the divorce. However, Richard Hammond will not be without his family.
In fact, he has made his one daughter, Isabella Hammond, who is now 24 years old, his colleague. Father and daughter are now in front of the cameras on the YouTube channel Drivetribe.
A project that 'Izzy' Hammond's father bought out of his two now former colleagues James May and Jeremy Clarkson a few years ago.
Last year, the otherwise famous TV trio announced that television was over for them. They have dissolved their joint production company, which was behind the Grand Tour programs.
Yet there are many indications that Amazon Prime, which once purchased and created a platform for the car program, is letting it live on.
Boosted announced in April last year that the streaming service had given the green light for a new production company to submit a new version of the program.
On the other hand, there are many indications that Top Gear is over. Officially, the BBC has not put the program, which has been on the air in various variations since 1977, in the grave. On the other hand, the public service channel will not say anything other than that it is planning 'a very long break'.
