LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Richard Keys, who previously denied leaving his wife for her while she was battling cancer, has wed the 35-year-old friend of his daughter.
Following 36 years of marriage, Richard Keys allegedly had an affair with Lucie Rose, a friend of his daughter Jemma, when she was 28 years old.
Keys denied falling in love with the young lawyer while Julia was battling thyroid cancer at the time of their divorce while she was in remission.
“I’ll mention the unmentionable for you,” he said in a 2019 statement to The Athletic. “Did I abandon my wife’s battle with cancer? No.
“Keys tied the knot on Saturday with Lucie, now 35, in a ‘£20,000 ceremony’ in Kingswear, Devon, that did not include his daughter, who is also 35.“

After making derogatory statements about Sian Massey-Ellis, a female Premier League referee, Keys was shamefully fired by Sky in 2011.
Keys and longtime commentator Andy Gray partner on a partnership with Al Jazeera signed in 2013. At this point, they are the cornerstones of beIN Sports’ football coverage.
Prior to the marriage ceremony, Keys informed The Sun that he and his new bride will travel to Canada for their honeymoon.
