2003 Rugby Hero Starts New Chapter After Divorce

England rugby legend Jason Leonard tied the knot for the second time, marrying his long-term partner Amanda in an intimate private ceremony.

The couple recently shared a series of stunning images from their May wedding on his Instagram.

Amanda, a respected figure in public relations, has been in a relationship with Leonard for several years.

Leonard, who has three children from his first marriage to Sandra, continues to place a strong emphasis on family life.

Leonard is a retired English rugby union player, widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards in the sport’s history. Born on August 14, 1968, he earned 114 caps for England between 1990 and 2004, playing as a prop.

Leonard was a key figure in England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup victory, and his leadership on the field was matched by his durability, featuring in four World Cup campaigns.

Nicknamed “The Fun Bus,” Leonard also played for the British & Irish Lions. After retiring, he became an influential figure in rugby governance and charity work.
