Bradley Wiggins ‘moves in with PR girl’ six months after split from wife
The Tour de France winner is said to have found love again after announcing his marriage to wife Catherine was over in May
Sir Bradley Wiggins is alleged to have found love again with a PR girl named Laura after six months after splitting from his wife.
In May the sportsman announced that he and wife of 16 years Cath, with whom he shares two children, were separating.
According to The Sun, in the wake of the split, Bradley has coupled up with new partner Laura after they were introduced through mutual friends.
A source claims that things are going well between the pair with Bradley allegedly moving into Laura’s London home.
The insider suggested that Laura’s lifestyle and interests are more suited to Bradley’s and the pair are ‘very loved up.’
“It was never intended to turn into a relationship but they formed a close emotional bond and things progressed from there,” they claimed.
“He’s moved in with her in London and they’re very loved up.”
According to the paper, Bradley said of his new relationship: “I understand that going through this publicly is painful and difficult for those involved.
“But one thing that I have realised over the last 12 to 18 months is that I probably always used to put other people first. Thanks to a close circle of friends I have been able to realise that I also deserve my own happiness.
“Only by being happy can I be the best version of me and be able to help those nearest to me.”
Mirror Online has contacted Bradley’s representative for comment.
The Olympic gold medallist announced earlier this year that he and his wife Cath were separating.
In a statement he shared: “It is with deep sadness my wife Cath and I have decided to separate. Our two children remain our priority and we ask for privacy at this time. Brad & Cath.”
The pair first met in 1997 before crossing paths again at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Bradley, who has faced allegations of doping, said that the claims had a huge impact on his wife and “almost killed her” before she checked into rehab.
After a 14 month enquiry, the United Kingdom Anti Doping said it would be dropping the charges after which Bradley said he and his family had been subjected to a ‘living hell.’
The sportsman always denied any wrongdoing in the scandal, but confessed the allegation had a huge impact on his family life.
Speaking to the Guardian in 2018, he said: “People have free rein to put their own facts in place. Kids read headlines and their parents say things about you.
“You end up saying to your kids: ‘Just tell them to f****** do one.’ They do and it’s your kids in trouble.
“Then the BBC show up on your doorstep and you can’t take your kids to school. You tell the BBC, ‘I can’t talk to you, because there’s an investigation.'”
Wiggins is now studying for a degree in social work having said he does not want to live off his cycling career.
