Rugby icon Lawrence Dallaglio is divorcing his wife Alice after almost 20 years.
Dallaglio married his wife in 2005 after dating each other for nearly a decade. And they share three children, daughters Ella and Josie, as well as Son Enzo.
But the couple have now chosen to go their separate ways. As per The Sun, the retired England captain and Alice attended Central Family Court in Holborn, London, on Tuesday in an attempt to find an agreement over divorce proceedings.
A source speaking to The Sun said: “They have been together a very long time and weathered a number of storms. It is sad as they must have decided it is best now to go their separate ways.”
Both had been accused of cheating on each other throughout their relationship. They originally split in 2003 after accusations but reconciled and then married two years later.
Alice Dallaglio, formerly Corbett, is a former model and art student. Lawrence is among England’s greatest rugby union players having helped the nation to the World Cup in 2003. He also won four Six Nations titles with England.
Dallaglio also enjoyed a stunning career in club rugby. He won five Premiership titles with Wasps, as well as two Heineken Cups. But he has also been embroiled in a number of off-pitch controversies since choosing to retire. The now TV pundit was accused of spending £10,000 in a brothel in 2020.

He was subsequently interviewed under caution by police but he was not arrested and declined to make any comment over that eye-watering spend. No further action was taken.
He recently revealed that he had ‘surgeons on speed dial’ after seeing his rugby career cut short due to injury. “I’m 52 and I’ve got surgeons on speed dial pretty much – I’ve had 15 operations throughout my career,” Dallaglio said on the Stick to Football podcast.
“You don’t mind the smaller ones, where at the end of the season you need your knee [sorted out] so you’re ready for next season. It’s more about avoiding the bigger ones – I did my ACL in 2001, which is a hard eight or nine months, but it taught me a lot. I said to the manager that I can’t come into the club every day – it’s going to drive me mad.
“Everyone is going to ask me about my knee, and I just needed some time away from the club. I had my own physio and everything, and I came back after about four months.
“Mentally, you’ve got to get yourself right. You learn so much when you get injured, and you come back a much stronger player. Then I had the ankle issue in New Zealand.”
