Overview
- In his first public comments, Hammond discussed the split in a Daily Mail interview and in the opening episode of Richard Hammond's Workshop.
- On the show he says, "I got divorced," confirms he has moved to a new home closer to his workshop, and describes looking for a silver lining after a difficult period.
- He reiterates that the couple's original statement remains their position, which denied any third-party involvement and asked for privacy.
- Asked who initiated the breakup, he declined to elaborate beyond the joint statement as tabloids continued to publish unverified claims about the decision.
- He notes the past year also included his father's death and the end of The Grand Tour, and he adds that romance is not on his radar as he focuses on work.
