Richard Hammond’s girlfriend has reportedly been identified after the former Top Gear presenter made a brief public reference to dating again.
The Daily Mail reported that Hammond, 56, is dating Kiki Glen, a former teacher and therapist. The Mirror also reported Glen’s name, describing her as a therapist.
Hammond has not publicly named Glen himself. His own reference came in a Telegraph column about his quieter life after separating from Mindy Hammond, where he wrote that some evenings are spent alone, some with his girlfriend and some with friends.
The new reports come more than a year after Richard and Mindy announced that their marriage was ending after 28 years together.
Hammond Was Reportedly Seen With Kiki Glen in Wales
The Daily Mail reported that Hammond and Glen were recently seen together in Abergavenny, Wales, where Hammond has been living since the split.
The outlet said Hammond was photographed carrying shopping bags as Glen walked beside him. It also reported that local residents had seen the pair together at a neighborhood pub.
One staff member told the Daily Mail that Hammond had visited more than once and preferred to sit away from the front so he could eat quietly.
They Were Photographed Together at a London Event
The Daily Mail also reported that Hammond took Glen to the Yard-O-Led British Historic Pen Revival in London last September.
Shutterstock Editorial’s Rex Features archive lists a photo from the Sept. 25 event captioned “Richard Hammond and Kiki Glen.” The same archive lists other guests at the Piccadilly Arcade event, including Mary Berry, Ben Shephard and Charley Boorman.
Yard-O-Led’s own event writeup said the evening marked the opening of the company’s first store in its 200-year history and named Hammond among friends of the brand who attended.

Hammond’s public reference to dating came earlier this month in The Telegraph.
In the column, the former The Grand Tour host described a low-key routine of early meals, television, friends and time in the countryside. His passing mention of a girlfriend was the first clear public sign that he was in a relationship after the end of his marriage.
Hammond has not posted a statement about Glen or given a detailed interview about the relationship.
Richard and Mindy Hammond Announced Their Split in 2025
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…
— Richard Hammond (@RichardHammond) January 9, 2025
Richard and Mindy announced their split in January 2025 in a joint statement posted to X.
They said they had spent Christmas together as a family and would remain a family “structured a bit differently.” They also said they had two daughters and asked for privacy for themselves and their children.
The couple married in 2002 after several years together. Sky News reported at the time that they had been together for 28 years and married for 23.
Hammond Has Kept Working Since the Split
Hammond has continued working across television, YouTube and his classic car restoration business.
The Smallest Cog, his restoration company in Herefordshire, lists Hammond as founder. The business is also featured in Richard Hammond’s Workshop, the Discovery+ series built around the shop.
Hammond became a major TV name through Top Gear, where he presented alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May. The trio later reunited on Amazon’s The Grand Tour, whose final special, One for the Road, aired in September 2024.
