Life has a way of moving on, and for comedian Lucy Beaumont, that couldn’t be truer.
Following her split from fellow comic Jon Richardson, Lucy seems to have embraced a new chapter filled with work, laughter, and love.
Thriving on Stage
Lucy, 42, is currently wowing audiences across the UK with her stand-up show, which has been extended due to overwhelming demand.
From sold-out venues to rapturous applause, it’s clear that she’s pouring her energy into her craft—and loving every minute of it.
A Dazzling Public Appearance
But it’s not just work bringing Lucy joy. For the first time, she was spotted publicly wearing a sparkling new engagement ring at the Big Feastival in the Cotswolds.
Dressed casually in a blue-and-white sleeveless top, ripped jeans, and wedges, she didn’t hide her gold band with three diamonds as she strolled through the festival crowds and queued for tacos.
Life Beyond Comedy
Her stand-up routine hints at even more exciting plans, as she joked about concerns over her “growing anger” possibly signaling menopause—but the doctor reassured her she had a bit more time.
With projects like the first BBC series of The Celebrity Traitors on the horizon, it seems Lucy is embracing life fully, balancing her career with her personal happiness.
A Love Story Rekindled
Lucy was reportedly dating sound engineer Martin Wallace, 44, since last year.
The pair were first spotted together in Manchester and later in Harrogate, sharing casual moments like carrying luggage and heading to shows together.
Wallace, who has worked in the music and comedy industry for years, even collaborated with Jon Richardson on his 2014 tour, so the connections run deep.
Moving On After Nine Years
Lucy and Jon’s nine-year marriage ended in April 2024, after they amicably decided to divorce.
The couple, who share an eight-year-old daughter, co-owned properties and accumulated significant wealth, with Lucy reportedly receiving a £1.625 million payout as part of the settlement.
Life in the Public Eye
Throughout their marriage, Lucy and Jon gave fans a glimpse into their lives with shows like Meet the Richardsons, where they played exaggerated versions of themselves.
While the on-screen squabbles were comedic, viewers sometimes mistook them for reality—but Lucy insists the real-life relationship was far more nuanced.
From Hull to Stardom
Growing up in Hull, Lucy worked as a cleaner and teaching assistant before breaking into comedy.
She met Jon in 2013 through fellow comedian Roisin Conaty, and their whirlwind romance led to marriage in 2015 and the birth of their daughter a year later.
Lucy has often described herself as an “oversharer,” but she keeps her personal life private when it matters most.
Life Goes On
Now, Lucy is stepping confidently into this new chapter—balancing sold-out shows, new love, and family life.
Meanwhile, Jon keeps fans entertained with his humor, recently playing with April Fools pranks and joining new projects like the BBC school drama Waterloo Road, proving that both are carving out exciting paths post-marriage.
A Bright Future Ahead
From stand-up stages to festival appearances and new romance, Lucy Beaumont’s story is one of resilience, humor, and embracing change.
She’s a reminder that life after a split can be filled with laughter, love, and fresh beginnings.
