Jon Richardson in seven figure payout to soon to be ex wife Lucy Beaumont – but they still co-own £2m property empire
JON Richardson is in an eye-watering seven figure payout to soon to be ex wife Lucy Beaumont – but they still co-own their £2m property empire.
The two revealed that they had split after nine years of marriage back in April.
Jon, 41, and Lucy, 40, managed to accumulate £6million over the years.
In June this year, Lucy resigned from their company, This Guy at Night Limited, as director.
Comedian Jon then paid her £1.625million for her shares in the company.
As well as that, the funnyman also paid a £8,125 HMRC stamp duty.
According to documents, the business is worth £4million in 2023.
The pair still co own their two properties – a £1 million pad in Yorkshire and another £1 million flat in London.
Jon and Lucy tied the knot in 2015 after two years of dating.
The two share one daughter Elsie Louise, seven.
In April they announced that they had gone their separate ways.
A statement shared by PA news agency said: “After 9 years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated.
“We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways.
“As our only priority is managing this difficult transition for our daughter, we would ask that our privacy is respected at this sensitive time to protect her well-being.
“We will be making no further comment.”
Over the years Jon and Lucy have appeared in a number of TV shows.
Their own Dave programme Meet The Richardsons premiered in 2016 and there have been five successful series.
Last year Lucy opened up about what it was like working with her partner.
She previously said: “‘We like working together and enjoy Meet The Richardsons and we really wanted to make something that people could relate to.
“Meet The Richardsons is basically an excuse for us to channel tensions into comedy and you see that in the studio, someone might start saying something thinking they’re going to land a blow but as soon as us and the audience start laughing at them, they realise it’s all nonsense.”
Last year Lucy joked about a divorce from Jon a year before their news.
Talking on Eight Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown, she joked: “I don’t see this for life.”
