Richard Keys, 68, Moves In with Daughter’s Friend, 37, After UK Return
Richard Keys, the former Sky Sports presenter, is preparing for a significant life change. The 68-year-old broadcaster is set to return to the UK after a decade under the beIN Sports network.
Return to the UK After Years Abroad
Keys and his co-host Andy Gray, 70, left the UK in 2013 to join beIN Sports. Their relocation followed their departure from Sky, where both were dismissed for making sexist comments. Now, as their contracts near expiration this summer, they have decided to return to British shores.
Details of the Departure
- Keys and Gray spent 13 years working for beIN Sports.
- The network featured their coverage of major events like the Premier League and World Cups.
- A spokesperson confirmed that their final broadcasts will occur in May 2024.
Personal Life Changes
Alongside this professional transition, Keys’ personal life has also seen changes. He is now married to Lucie Rose, who is 32 years his junior. The couple wed in a modest ceremony in Devon, which reportedly cost £20,000.
Controversial Background
Keys and Rose’s relationship began while he was still married to his ex-wife Julia, which led to significant family turmoil. Julia described the aftermath of the affair as “devastating” for their family. Despite this, Keys expressed happiness about his new marriage and upcoming honeymoon in Canada following the wedding.
Final Thoughts
As Richard Keys looks forward to a new chapter in his life, both personally and professionally, he remains a notable figure in sports broadcasting. His return to the UK marks the end of an era while opening the door to new opportunities.
