The couple met in 2005, shortly after Wilkinson ended his relationship with prominent Sky Sports presenter Diana Stewart.
Diana joined Sky in February 2003 and covered a variety of sports, including golf, tennis, boxing, football, and rugby, before taking on her current role as the host of Sky’s ‘Golf Night’.
A friend noted that Wilkinson’s intense dedication to rugby had strained his relationships. “It is the same with all his relationships; rugby got in the way then as it is doing now,” the friend said.
“He’s just so committed to the sport that there is no room for anything else.”
Diana married European Tour golfer Nick Dougherty on New Year’s Eve 2010. She also dated Declan Donnelly of Ant & Dec following her split from Wilkinson.
