Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has married a woman believed to be his daughter's friend – whom his ex-wife of 34 years reportedly discovered he was having an affair with in 2016, writes The Mirror.
The 66-year-old was pictured standing at the end of an aisle next to his new wife Lucie Rose, who is 32 years his junior.
A wedding guest shared the sweet snap of newlyweds Richard and Lucie dressed in a grey suit and dark grey tie whilst Lucie wore a stunning white bridal gown with a long veil.
Football anchor Richard tied the knot with lawyer Lucie, who was believed to have been friends with Richard's daughter Jemma, surrounded by their loved ones in a stunning outdoor ceremony understood to be in Devon.
Richard has not yet about his nuptials.
The couple's lavish wedding comes seven years after Richard's ex-wife of 34 years Julia filed for divorce on the ground of adultery after discovering he was reportedly having an affair with Lucie.
Richard and Lucie are believed to have been introduced by a mutual acquaintance on the expat social circuit in Qatar, where the presenter worked after his Sky Sports sacking.
In 2016 it was reported that Julia, with whom he shares daughter Jemma, filed for divorce and returned to the UK after moving to Qatar with her then-husband and at that time, Julia was also battling thyroid cancer.
A source told the Daily Mail at the time: "This is the most appalling behaviour. He knew that Julia was very ill but carried on anyway. It has knocked Julia for six and it has had an adverse effect on her health. She is absolutely devastated."
As the reports came out, Richard tweeted: "I expected a mixed bag of reaction – thanks for the support.
"There are many inaccuracies in the reports today – but I expected that also."
In 2019, Richard – who shares Jemma and Josh with ex-wife Julia – denied leaving his wife while she was battling cancer.
He told The Athletic: "I'll mention the unmentionable for you. Did I leave my wife fighting cancer? No.
"I don't know what happened. I don't know why our marriage ended the way it did, but my wife was fighting cancer for seven years before I left her and she had been in remission for seven years.
"She and I went to London every day of her fight, prior to a ground-breaking operation that saw her in a period of recovery."
Richard claimed Julia "had been remission for seven years" when their marriage dissolved.
He also added: "If people believe that I walked away with my wife fighting cancer with a friend of my daughter's. I can't change that now.
"Tell a lie twice and it becomes the truth. Tell it on social media and it haunts you forever. I didn't fall in love with a friend of my daughter's."
Keys was fired from his £500,000-a-year job on Sky Sports, fronting Premiere League coverage, in 2011 after he made derogatory remarks about referee Sian Massey-Ellis.
In April 2018, Julia opened up about her husband's affair in her book The MANScript.
She penned: "Richard's affair didn't just devastate my world, but the world of our children Jemma and Josh too.
"It is only now, two years on, that he has admitted he did have an affair with Lucie, as well as acknowledging his deceit and the damage it has caused."
