England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio ‘divorcing from wife of almost 20 years after repeated cheating claims

England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio is divorcing his wife of almost 20 years.

Dallaglio was part of the England side that won the 2003 World Cup, with the 52-year-old earning 85 caps for his country, while he was also picked for the British & Irish Lions on three separate tours during a glittering career.

The former back row had multiple stints as England captain and since his retirement in 2008, he has worked as a pundit on TV and radio, while he has also been widely praised for his charity work.

Dallaglio married wife Alice, who was a model, in 2005 after dating for almost 10 years and they have two daughters – Ella and Josie – and a son – Enzo – together.

However, the couple are now set to split after they attended the Central Family Court in Holborn in London on Tuesday in an attempt to agree to the terms of their separation.

Despite their relationship lasting for a long period, it has been dramatic with both accused of cheating throughout their time together.

The couple had split in 2003 after it was revealed Alice had been unfaithful to Dallaglio with his friend Leon Butler.

However, they reconciled and married two years later, but Dallaglio was then embroiled in his own scandal.

The 52-year-old spent £10,000 at a London brothel which offered high-class hookers and cocaine, with it claimed at the time that the former rugby star had used his own bank cards to make payments inside the venue in Holborn.

News of Dallaglio’s visit emerged in 2020 during a trial where a gang were accused of supplying prostitutes and Class A drugs, with the brothel having been raided and shut down by police a year previous.

During that visit, they were said to recover bank card receipts at the venue – at which point Dallaglio’s name emerged.

He was not arrested but he was interviewed under caution by police in the presence of a solicitor.

Dallaglio declined to make any comment on the matter, and no action was taken against him.
