Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg is believed to have split with his wife Gillian last year and is now reportedly dating Sky Sports presenter and former Jockey Leonna Mayor. A spokesperson for Police Scotland said that at “Around 4.4pm on Sunday, 25 February, police were called to an address in Hawick. A 31-year old man was arrested and charged. He was released on an undertaking to appeal at Jedburgh Sheriff Court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Since retiring from rugby, Stuart Hogg has worked as a pundit on TNT Sports’ rugby coverage and was awarded an MBE for services to the sport. Stuart Hogg married Gillian in 2016 at Barony Castle, Peeblesshire. Around the time of his retirement, Stuart said “I’ve made this call because I want what’s best for me and for my family, and I believe I have made the right decision.”

Stuart and Gillian share four children together and Gillian gave birth to their fourth child in November 2023. Stuart Hogg started playing rugby at the age of 19 and was referred to as ‘rugby’s first rock star’ after becoming the saviour of the Scottish team. 

In 2020 Stuart Hogg spoke to The Rugby Paper why he makes a ‘W' sign after scoring tries for The Exeter Chiefs or Scotland, “The ‘W' is in memory of Richard Wilkinson, his boyhood friend and Hawick Wanderers team-mate, who was killed at 17 in a car crash, both were involved in returning from a Sevens tournament in Kelso, which later saw two teenage male drivers jailed for four and a half years. Stuart Hogg revealed to The Rugby Paper that “I still make the sign. I do it after every single try. He could quite easily have been in my shoes in terms of being a professional rugby player. He was a great boy, a great bloke, and I want to make him and his family proud and take him along the journey that I'm living.”
