More than a year after the end of his 23-year marriage, Richard Hammond appears to be embracing a new chapter in his personal life.
The Top Gear and The Grand Tour presenter, 56, has been spotted holding hands with therapist Keira Glen, 53, during a relaxed day out in Wales—offering the clearest sign yet that their relationship is growing stronger.
A Sweet Public Display
Richard and Keira were photographed arriving together at a Waitrose supermarket in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, before leaving hand in hand after picking up groceries.
The TV presenter was seen pushing a trolley filled with shopping, including a pair of green bags and a box of Guinness, before loading everything into his eye-catching Morgan sports car.
Earlier that day, the couple had also attended a classic car show at St Michael’s Hospice in Hereford, where they appeared happy and relaxed as they enjoyed the event together.
Their affectionate outing marks one of the most public displays of their romance since they began seeing each other.
Romance Steps Into the Spotlight
The latest sighting comes just weeks after Hammond publicly acknowledged his relationship for the first time in a newspaper column, confirming what had previously been the subject of speculation.
The couple have also reportedly been seen together at Richard’s local pub, suggesting they have been quietly spending more time together away from the spotlight.
While neither has spoken extensively about the relationship, friends say the pair have quickly developed a genuine connection.
According to people close to the couple, Richard “wasn’t expecting to get into a relationship so quickly,” but has been pleasantly surprised by how naturally things have developed.
“It’s still early days,” one source said, “but they’re enjoying each other’s company immensely and are happy to see where things go without putting any pressure on the relationship.”
A Fresh Start After Heartbreak
Keira is believed to be Richard’s first serious partner since his split from wife Mindy Etheridge, whom he separated from in January 2025 after 23 years of marriage.
The former couple share two daughters, Izzy, 25, and Willow, 22.
Keira, a therapist and former teacher, is also a mother to two daughters aged 26 and 24, meaning both she and Richard understand the importance of balancing family life with a fresh relationship.
Fans Happy to See Richard Smiling Again
For years, Hammond has been best known for his adventures alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, where his quick wit and love of cars made him one of Britain’s most recognisable TV personalities.
Now, it seems the presenter has another reason to smile.
While the couple appear keen to keep their relationship largely private, their latest outing suggests they are becoming increasingly comfortable sharing parts of their new life together.
After a difficult period following the breakdown of his long marriage, Richard Hammond appears to be looking ahead—with friends saying he’s simply enjoying spending time with someone who makes him happy.
