England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio DIVORCES wife of almost 20 years after pair ‘weathered a number of storms’

RUGBY great Lawrence Dallaglio is divorcing from his wife after almost two decades, The Sun can reveal.

The retired England captain and TV pundit, 52, attended the Central Family Court in Holborn, London, yesterday as he tried to thrash out a deal with former model Alice, 52.

They married in 2005 after dating for almost ten years and share daughters Ella and Josie, and son Enzo.

A source 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 have been accused of cheating throughout their time together.

Lawrence has also been embroiled in a cocaine scandal, and had to wind up his business after being told he owed £700,000 in unpaid tax.

The couple previously split in 2003 when it was revealed Alice cheated with Lawrence’s property developer friend Leon Butler, before reconciling and marrying two years later.

In 2020, a court heard he had spent £10,000 at a brothel which offered high-class hookers and cocaine.

It was alleged he used his own bank cards to make payments inside the premises.

His alleged visit to the Georgian townhouse emerged during a trial of a gang accused of supplying £300-an-hour prostitutes and Class A drugs.

Dallaglio was interviewed under caution by police in the presence of a solicitor.

But he was not arrested and declined to make any comment over the purpose of his expenditure.

The brother in central London was raided and shut down by police in July 2019.

A bag of bank card receipts was found hidden behind panelling in a basement toilet, and Dallaglio’s name emerged as detectives looked through 180,000 transactions.

Meanwhile, in 2023 Dallaglio wound up his business after being told he owed £700,000 in unpaid tax.

He agreed to pay off his debts and avoided being made to declare himself bankrupt.

HMRC applied for the winding up order for unpaid tax by Lawrence Dallaglio Limited, which was based at his £3million family home in Richmond, South West London.

Alice Dallaglio, formerly Corbett, is a former model and art student.

She is the daughter of Lydia Corbett, formerly known as Sylvette David, a famous model of Pablo Picasso.

Lawrence is among the greats of rugby union players. In 2008 he was awarded an OBE, having already been an MBE.
