Richie is yet to publicly comment on his split from Helen, although he did share a cryptic post just days before the announcement. The Leeds Rhinos player posted a snapshot showing him at training and wrote: "Light at the end of the tunnel [raised hands emoji]."
It's thought that at the time of the post, Helen was away with their three children on a beach holiday, accompanied by her mum Janet.
Announcing their split on social media in April, Helen shared a short statement that read: "Very sad to say Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children."
