Most people searching this name want to know whether a familiar couple is still together, not how a comedy career is built. Metro (UK national news site) dated the couple’s divorce announcement to 12 April 2024, but much of the reporting since then has not been confirmed by either of them, so this article separates the claims that rest on a named statement from those that rest on reports.
Marriage: April 2015 (Hull Daily Mail (regional UK newspaper)) · Divorce announced: 12 April 2024 (Metro (UK national news site)) · Daughter born: September 2016 (Belfast Live (regional UK news site)) · Engagement on TV: 16 September 2014 (British Comedy Guide (comedy listings site))

| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Marriage | April 2015 (Hull Daily Mail (regional UK newspaper)) |
| Length of marriage | Nine years, per the joint statement (BreakingNews.ie (PA news wire)) |

| Net worth | No figure in the sourced inputs, so none is estimated here |
Have Jon and Lucy split up?
Yes, on the couple’s own account. Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont announced a divorce in a joint statement after nine years of marriage (BreakingNews.ie (PA news wire)).
The couple also asked for privacy to protect their daughter’s well-being and said they would make no further comment (Metro (UK national news site)).
Are Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont still friends?
- Lucy Beaumont told OK! magazine she would not discuss the marriage publicly, and that the reason was not animosity (Belfast Live (regional UK news site)).
- The inputs for this article do not describe whether the pair still speak or see each other.
Is Jon Richardson still married?
- The couple have said they have separated and decided to divorce, which is the status their own statement gives.
- The sourced inputs do not show whether the divorce has been legally finalised.
- Jon Richardson was pictured without a wedding ring at his first public appearance after the split was announced (Metro (UK national news site)).
The implication: anyone asking about his marital status is working from an announced separation, not from a completed legal record that these sources show.
What has happened to Jon Richardson?
His most recent public move is a career change. In April 2025 he said he was quitting comedy to become a teacher, and that role was later revealed to be a part in BBC drama Waterloo Road (Belfast Live (regional UK news site)).
- A family outing with his daughter was reported days after the divorce announcement (Evening Standard (London newspaper)).
- The couple’s mockumentary series Meet the Richardsons aired a fifth series from April 2024, according to Wikipedia (secondary reference).
What is Jon Richardson’s net worth?
- No net worth figure appears in the sourced inputs, so this article does not give one.
- Reports in late 2024 said Jon Richardson agreed to a seven-figure payout from Lucy Beaumont; the couple have not confirmed it (Metro (UK national news site)).
How old is Jon Richardson?
- Metro reports him as 42 in a later piece, while other outlets give different ages (Metro (UK national news site)).
- Because the figures conflict, this article does not state a single age.
The two most-searched numbers on this topic, net worth and age, are also the least sourced. A reader looking for a firm figure will not find one that a named record supports.
The implication: the figures most readers want cannot be checked against a named record, so any firm number printed elsewhere should be treated as unsourced.
Who is Lucy Beaumont with now?
No partner for Lucy Beaumont is confirmed by the couple or a primary source. Hello! Magazine (celebrity magazine) reports that she is in a relationship with sound engineer Martin Wallace, first linked in October 2024 when the pair were seen leaving The Lowry together (Hello! Magazine (celebrity magazine)).
Does Jon Richardson have a new partner?
- The sourced inputs contain no report of a new partner for Jon Richardson.
- Any name linked to him would need a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source before publication, and none is in the inputs.
Is Lucy Beaumont married again?
- No remarriage is confirmed in the sourced inputs.
- The couple have not officially confirmed an engagement to Martin Wallace (Hello! Magazine (celebrity magazine)).
A Mirror (UK national tabloid) report from October 2024 described Lucy Beaumont as single, which contradicts the October 2024 relationship reports (Mirror (UK national tabloid)). Until she or a primary source speaks, the partner question stays open.
The implication: until Lucy Beaumont or a primary source speaks, the partner question stays unresolved, and any headline presenting a relationship as fact is ahead of the evidence.
What is Lucy Beaumont doing now?
The sourced inputs do not describe Lucy Beaumont’s current professional activity. What they show is a set of reports rather than confirmed announcements.
- In 2024 she said she is keeping her personal life personal in the next stage of her life (Hello! Magazine (celebrity magazine)).
- A Mirror (UK national tabloid) report said she was rumoured to join Celebrity Traitors; the participation was not confirmed (Mirror (UK national tabloid)).
- One secondary reference places her in Withington, Manchester; this article does not repeat it because the source is low confidence (Wikipedia (secondary reference)).
What condition does Lucy Beaumont have?
- No health condition for Lucy Beaumont is confirmed in the sourced inputs, so this article does not name one.
- The inputs include one unverified health claim from a secondary reference, which this article does not repeat.
- To check current official information, use the official social channels of Lucy Beaumont and the broadcasters she has worked with.
The trade-off: printing a health claim from a secondary reference would add detail the evidence cannot carry, so this section leaves it out.
Does Jon Richardson have children?
Yes. The couple have one daughter, born in September 2016 (Belfast Live (regional UK news site)). The couple have kept her largely out of public view, and they asked for her privacy in their statement (Metro (UK national news site)).
Where was Jon Richardson born?
- The inputs give Lancaster, Lancashire, England as his birthplace, but the only source is an unlinked biography snippet.
- This article does not publish a birthplace as confirmed until a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source is attached.
Why this matters: a birthplace is an easy detail to repeat wrongly, and an unlinked snippet is not enough to print it as fact.
Timeline of key dates
- 2013: The couple met through Roisin Conaty and began dating, according to Metro (Metro (UK national news site)).
- 16 September 2014: The engagement was confirmed on screen in Channel 4’s Jon Richardson Grows Up (British Comedy Guide (comedy listings site)).

- April 2025: Jon Richardson announced he was quitting comedy to teach; the role was later revealed as one in Waterloo Road (Belfast Live (regional UK news site)).
The pattern: the milestones are firm up to the April 2024 announcement, and the entries from late 2024 onward shift from statements to reports.
Confirmed versus reported
Confirmed by a named statement or record
- The joint divorce statement after nine years of marriage (BreakingNews.ie (PA news wire))
- The divorce announcement dated 12 April 2025 (Metro (UK national news site))
- The engagement confirmed on Channel 4 on 16 September 2014 (British Comedy Guide (comedy listings site))
- Jon Richardson’s April 2025 announcement that he was quitting comedy to teach (Belfast Live (regional UK news site))
Reported or unresolved
- Martin Wallace as Lucy Beaumont’s partner, reported but not confirmed (Hello! Magazine (celebrity magazine))
- A seven-figure payout from Lucy Beaumont to Jon Richardson, reported and not confirmed (Metro (UK national news site))
- Lucy Beaumont described as single in April 2025, and a rumoured Celebrity Traitors appearance (Mirror (UK national tabloid))
- Ages reported differently across outlets (Metro (UK national news site))
- The Independent (national UK newspaper) gives the divorce statement date as 12 April 2023, which conflicts with the 2024 date used elsewhere (The Independent (national UK newspaper))
The confirmed record is short but firm, and the reported record is louder but unverified. Anyone sharing a headline about Lucy Beaumont’s love life should first check whether it cites the couple’s own statement or only another outlet.
What this means: the firm record ends at the April 2024 announcement, and every later claim depends on which outlet reported it.
What the people involved have 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.”
Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont, joint statement, reported by BreakingNews.ie (PA news wire)
“People might think I should talk about it because we were so public and everyone knew us as a couple, but I won’t, and not because there’s any animosity.”
Lucy Beaumont, speaking to OK! magazine, reported by Belfast Live (regional UK news site)
“There is no one like Lucy.”
Jon Richardson, in a Sunday Times interview, reported by Hull Daily Mail (regional UK newspaper)
The implication: the couple’s own words confirm the split and decline further detail, which leaves the partner and payout questions to outside reporting.
Where the story stands
The divorce is the one firm point in this story, with the announcement dated 12 April 2024 by Metro (UK national news site). For readers who pass these stories on, the choice is clear: repeat the divorce as settled, label the partner and payout claims as reported, and wait for the couple or a primary source before repeating either as fact.
