Ben Cohen’s Ex-Wife Abby Breaks Silence After His Split from Kristina Rihanoff

Ben Cohen’s former wife, Abby Cohen, has subtly reacted to the rugby star’s split from Kristina Rihanoff—years after he left her for the Strictly Come Dancing pro. Ben, 46, and Abby were married for over a decade and share twin daughters. However, their relationship came crashing down in 2013 when he fell for Kristina, 47, during his time on Strictly, reported the Daily Mail.

The pair went on to have a daughter together and eventually got engaged, but now, after 12 years together, they’ve officially called it quits. Rumors have been swirling about financial troubles playing a big role in the breakup, with some dubbing it a ‘reverse Strictly curse’.

While Abby hasn’t directly commented on her ex-husband’s latest split, she seems to be living her best life. She recently posted a carefree snap on Instagram, enjoying a sunny day at the Guilsborough horse races with her dog, Branston Pickle, and a glass of Pimm’s in hand. Simply captioning the post “Sunday,” she appeared unbothered by the drama unfolding in her ex’s life.

A friend told The Sun that Abby might see the situation as karma, saying: “Ben left his wife Abby for Kristina, only to now split with her. It’s like the curse in reverse. This will be like karma for Abby—she was so upset when Ben left her. It’s like he has got his comeuppance.”

Meanwhile, Ben has been spotted out and about, looking surprisingly cheerful just days after the split was revealed. He was seen at The Cabbage Patch pub in Twickenham, enjoying the pre-game buzz before England took on Italy in the Six Nations. Kristina, on the other hand, was seen looking more reflective during her first public outing since the breakup hit the headlines.

Reports suggest the couple’s financial struggles had put a huge strain on their relationship. Their businesses had reportedly racked up debts of around £ 1 million, and in a court appearance just months ago, they admitted they were “fighting not to lose their relationship and their home.”

Adding to the drama, Kristina recently landed in legal trouble after being caught driving her Audi Q3 without insurance, which resulted in six penalty points on her license.

While the strictly romance between Ben and Kristina once made headlines for its scandalous start, it seems their love story has ended on a much less glamorous note. And with Abby moving on happily with her new partner, David Warner, fans are left wondering if this is a case of karma coming full circle.
