Richard Hammond Still Wearing Wedding Ring After Separation, BUT Locked Himself Out of His House in Crocs and a Dressing Gown!

On Wednesday, Richard Hammond was found back at work while still donning his wedding ring, but an unexpected incident nearly prevented him from doing so when he inadvertently locked himself out of his residence.

I, a devoted follower, acknowledge the truth that I parted ways with my wife, Mindy, following a 28-year union in January. This decision was made amidst rumors suggesting that my family had grown weary due to my frequent travels and daring stunts on The Grand Tour, shown on Amazon Prime.

According to reports, it’s said that he first departed from the grand £7million Bollitree Castle in Hertfordshire, and later moved to a barn nearby, which the presenter had meticulously transformed into a luxurious personal retreat, often referred to as a man cave.

55-year-old Hammond is currently believed to reside in a neighboring village, operating his auto restoration business named ‘Smallest Cog’ from a local property he rents there.

On Wednesday, it seemed the workday began on a challenging note. The host openly confessed that he had accidentally locked himself out.

On his well-known Drivetribe YouTube channel alongside Mike Fernie, he commented: ‘I’m running behind schedule due to accidentally locking myself out of the house.’

This afternoon, I’m preparing to head off to the beautiful Lake District. Everything is already packed and ready to go. However, before I leave, I remembered a chore – I need to take out the trash.

Instead of saying that, you could rephrase it like this: “I carried the kitchen bin out through the front door, which isn’t typically locked. However, the door got stuck due to the Yale lock. At that moment, I was wearing Crocs and a dressing gown, and I didn’t have my phone, keys, or any other belongings with me.

Feeling quite frantic, I wondered what my next steps should be. Initially, the idea of crying crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it as ineffective. Instead, I found myself at a loss, feeling something akin to ten on an emotional scale.

Ultimately, the speaker tried breaking a window using an odd brick, but instead, it just skipped off the glass without causing any damage.

He mentioned that he didn’t understand how burglars manage their income. Eventually, he found himself needing to call a locksmith, who managed to open the door in just 5 seconds.

‘So in short, I’m late because I’m an idiot.’ 

It has been mentioned that Mindy, aged 59, intends to retain the Herefordshire castle they used to inhabit together in their forthcoming divorce proceedings, having previously referred to him as a ‘nine year old boy’.

In 2008, the previous owners, who were a couple at that time, purchased the castle. Later, Hammond invested fifteen years to transform one of the estate’s listed granary barns, which he affectionately referred to as his ‘clubhouse’, into his dream project.

2024 saw Richard subtly alluding to marital strife as he guided fans through their home, confessing that he had violated one of her sacrosanct rules by putting his cherished motorcycle collection on display instead of keeping it hidden.

However, the presenter mentioned that he secretly included some favorites despite them being agreed upon for removal, equivalent to saying “Mindy was not allowed inside the barn.

He said: ‘My wife swears blind it is haunted and so it is more for me and the chaps.’

In January, Hammond made it official that he had separated from Mindy through a shared post on social media. However, he emphasized that they would continue to hold significant places in each other’s lives.

Just wanted to share some news: We all spent Christmas as a family, and while our structure may change a bit this year, we’ll still remain a family.

Our union is drawing to a close, yet we’ve shared a fantastic 28 years as partners and raised two extraordinary daughters during that time.

‘We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created.

As a respectful request, I won’t be offering additional comments right now. I earnestly ask for the protection and privacy of myself and my children during this period. With sincere affection, Richard and Mindy.

Earlier, it was clear that Mindy had told Hammond he was at his final opportunity, and this happened eight years prior to when they publicly declared their marriage was ending. However, more recently, Mindy has filed for divorce from him.

According to a source, Richard is deeply troubled by the current situation. Despite his efforts to reconcile, it appears their relationship remains unresolved. No rumors suggest a third party is involved in this matter.

In the breakup, it was believed that the presenter’s constant traveling and hazardous TV adventures, following two near-fatal high-speed crashes, served as contributing factors.

Despite The Grand Tour concluding, he acknowledged that he had no intention of stopping his globe-trotting adventures.

To Fernie, he confessed that they had arranged a guys’ road adventure across India, including his brother and some pals.

As his 50th birthday loomed, I found myself brimming with excitement. With a group of friends who share an unquenchable passion for biking, we hatched a plan. Being brothers and bike enthusiasts, it was only fitting that we embark on a journey to remember. So, we chose the Himalayas, home to some of the world’s most challenging and navigable motorable paths. We aim to conquer these towering heights together, celebrating his milestone birthday in the most thrilling way possible.

At an elevation of approximately 21,000 feet, it surpasses Everest Base Camp’s height, making the air thin and the roads unsteady. We are eight companions, a diverse group… yet I believe we’re all capable of managing a road trip, given the circumstances.

Additionally, Hammond disclosed that significant guidelines had been established to guarantee a fair distribution of resources throughout the challenging journey.

He noted that it’s understandable for us all to act unkindly at times, but it’s crucial to avoid doing so too frequently, as your actions could spoil the experience for others around you.

However, it’s crucial to remember that if someone is bothering you, you shouldn’t yield to their actions. Instead, it’s essential to maintain a balance of mutual respect and understanding in the relationship.
