Rugby Star’s Controversial Split: Victoria’s Side of the Story
In an exclusive interview, Danny Cipriani’s ex-wife, Victoria, reveals a harrowing account of their split, alleging that the former England and Bath fly-half left her with no explanation and in financial distress.
Unexpected Departure
Danny announced their separation on Instagram, leaving Victoria stunned. “That was the first I’d heard of it,” she recounted, adding, “It was so hurtful.” The couple had been married for two years, and according to Victoria, there were no signs or red flags before Danny’s sudden departure.
Financial Strife
The split left Victoria with a heavy financial burden. Danny reportedly walked out in November 2023, leaving her responsible for covering £16,000-a-month household bills and tens of thousands of pounds of debt. “I do not know to this day why Danny left,” Victoria said, adding that she was trying to support him during his mental health struggles.
Allegations and Investigation
Danny’s allegations against Victoria, including claims that she stole money from his ill mother, led to a criminal investigation. “He took the allegations to the police and I was subject to a criminal investigation for seven months,” Victoria explained. She maintains her innocence, stating, “I didn’t steal anything from Danny or his mum and have been cleared by a court of wrongdoing.”
Personal Impact
The stress of these events took a toll on Victoria’s health. In February 2024, she had a heart attack and needed a stent. The police investigation was ended in August 2024, and the divorce was finalized on October 31, 2024.
Victoria, who lives in Kent and works as a neuroscience practitioner for a US medical company, expressed relief at finally moving on from her tumultuous relationship with Danny. “Danny put me through two years of hell—now I can move on with my life,” she concluded.
