After twelve years of marriage with Kristina, it has been widely reported that the former professional rugby player, 46, has parted way from his wife after the couple faced money problems in recent years. On Saturday, Kristina, 47, looked deep in thought as she was seen for the first time since their break-up.

Just one day later, Ben has now been seen for the first time. The sports star looked in high spirits as he shared clips of himself enjoying a Sunday afternoon at The Cabbage Patch Pub in Twickenham. Ahead of England vs Italy Six Nations match, Ben was seen gearing up the pub-goers before the long-awaited game. He seemed relaxed as he stood with a microphone in one hand while he kept his other hand in his jeans pockets.

The sighting comes days after it was revealed Kristina and Ben, 46, have split after their companies racked up debts of £1million. The split news was labelled the "curse in reverse" as a source claimed to The Sun that the "past six months has been hell" for the couple which has "torn the love they had apart".

They added: "For the sake of their family, they have chosen to go forward as separate individuals. Those close to them who know them as a couple had hoped they would be able to work things out but for now it’s over and it looks like there’s no going back."
