Richard Hammond has purchased a property in South Wales for nearly £2 million.
The former Top Gear and The Grand Tour presenter previously lived in Bollitree Castle, Herefordshire, with his wife and two daughters.
However, Hammond and his wife Mindy separated last year after 28 years.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) in January 2025, the TV star said: "A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently.
"Our marriage is coming to end, but we’ve had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.
"We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created.
"We won’t be commenting further and sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time."

We will always be in…— Richard Hammond (@RichardHammond) January 9, 2025
Following the split, Hammond moved out of the family home and has been renting a property nearby, according to The Sun.
