The girlfriend of disgraced rugby player Stuart Hogg revealed today that they have split up just months after having their first child together.
Former jockey Leonna Mayor had been in a relationship with the 33-year-old former Scotland captain and they had a son called Teddy in February last year.
She gave birth to their child only weeks after the former Glasgow Warriors and Exeter Chiefs player was spared jail for domestic abuse of his estranged wife Gillian.
But TV presenter Mayor, 34, confirmed in a post on her Instagram profile today that she was 'no longer with Stuart', adding: 'We'll just say it's just me and Teddy.'
The ITV and Sky racing pundit wrote: 'Now seems as good a time as any - lots of you guys asking about my situation and life recently. I am no longer with Stuart.
'I appreciate everyone's genuine interest in our life. I'm not one to discuss other people's lives so won't add detail. We'll just say it's just me and Teddy.
'It has been for a while now so I am in a position to be able to talk about our future with friends and family and those closest to us. New year. Fresh start. Me and the most precious thing. Lots of exciting things planned in life and work coming up.'
Hogg had made his relationship with Mayor - previously dubbed 'the world's sexiest jockey' - official on Instagram in January 2024 with a post after a day at the races.
Teddy, who was Hogg's fifth child, was born prematurely on February 12 last year at just 4lb 6oz before being allowed home following a short stay in hospital.
