In March this year, Richard split from his long-term girlfriend Virginia after two years.
The Weekend Today host told The Australian that his break-up with the dancer, 52, happened ‘some time ago’ and was ‘very amicable’.
Two months earlier, Richard had denied their relationship was on its ‘last legs’ after several alleged ‘heated arguments’ over money.

The Sunday Telegraph reported in January that the couple were having ‘heated arguments’ because he didn’t want to invest money into her property in France.
Several days later, they silenced these rumours by sharing a photo to Instagram of themselves together at the Australian Open in Melbourne.
Virginia has not posted a picture of Richard since then.
Richard and Virginia went public with their relationship in October 2017 and were regularly seen at red carpet events together.
