Richard Hammond’s new chapter revealed with mystery girlfriend
After a high-octane career in the spotlight, former Top Gear host Richard Hammond is taking things at a different pace these days. His recent appearances with Kiki Glen, described as a ‘divorced mother-of-two therapist’, have certainly piqued the curiosity of many. What’s really behind this new beginning, and what does life look like away from the cameras?
From roaring engines to rural calm—quite a shift. Richard Hammond, who turned 56, has quietly settled into the Welsh town of Abergavenny since his divorce, a world away from his TV days. The move hasn’t only been geographical, but deeply personal: in the past year, he’s been building a relationship with Kiki Glen, whose own story as a former teacher turned therapist, and single mum, adds a new texture to Hammond’s life.
A new chapter for Richard Hammond
This relationship, which began around June 2025, marks a clear turning point for the broadcaster. No longer in the full glare of the public eye, Hammond and Glen are thought to have chosen a quieter routine, opting for daily life together in his Georgian farmhouse—a property valued at £2 million, set in the countryside near Abergavenny. The pair were photographed recently in the area, a spot Hammond calls home these days. From all accounts, “enjoy quiet life in sprawling £2million Georgian farmhouse” now sounds less like a headline and more like Hammond’s lived reality.
Kiki Glen: More than a mystery girlfriend
Media buzz has naturally zeroed in on Kiki Glen. For those wondering who she is, Glen is not just Hammond’s partner but also a divorced mother of two and a practising therapist. Her background also includes time spent as a teacher—a professional path marked by supporting others, which may explain the couple’s low-key, nurturing approach to their new chapter.
The Welsh countryside: A perfect reset?
There’s less of the celebrity glitz, more of the everyday comforts. It’s a location that seems to offer Hammond space for self-reflection after his time in the media spotlight. And while neither has spoken publicly about their relationship yet, being “photographed with his new beau, Kiki Glen, last week in Abergavenny” gave media an intriguing glimpse into their everyday. The farmhouse, worth £2 million, is not just a home but also a backdrop for what looks like a grounded, second act for both.
A softer side, a new story
This new chapter might surprise those who admired Hammond’s daredevil reputation. But perhaps, after the drama of divorce and the relentless demands of fame, “a quiet life” with someone who values roots and relationships offers exactly the shift he needed. The story of Richard Hammond and Kiki Glen is, at least for now, less about glamour and more about finding normality together—far from the race track, right at home in Wales.
