Danny Cipriani’s marriage to wife Victoria may have collapsed after she was forced to read sordid revelations about the rugby star’s sexual past in his autobiography, friends claim.
The 36-year-old athlete and the 42-year-old mental health campaigner, who married in April 2021, had their relationship under scrutiny two weeks ago after a series of “difficult” arguments over text messages on his phone, as MailOnline exclusively revealed.
Victoria, 42, admitted she had reservations about some of the lurid content in “Who Am I?”, released in September, in which the 36-year-old ex-Englandman boasted about sleeping with three women a day, “from porn stars for actresses to girls.” “Meet in a cafe” at a time when “tripods became the norm.”
The day the book came out, she asked herself, “Why doesn’t he have the chapters I asked him to delete?”
Now, just two months after the book’s release, their two-and-a-half-year marriage is over. Sources close to Victoria claim that her decision to reveal all about her sex life may have contributed to the shock split.

A friend now told MailOnline: “Victoria knew dating a high-profile athlete would inadvertently put the spotlight on their relationship.”
“She insisted that she wanted to control what they shared publicly about themselves and ensured that every Instagram post was discussed and approved by both of them.”
“Victoria revealed some intimate secrets, like her IVF battle, but it was her decision.”
“However, some of the stories in Danny’s book, particularly about his sex life with previous lovers, were quite difficult to understand when they were written in black and white for all to see.”
The source added: “The marriage was never the same after that.”
Mother of two Victoria, who became a grandmother shortly after getting engaged in 2020, considers herself an incredibly private person.
She admitted she suffered anxiety before the book’s release, knowing the world would learn many revealing details about her – and about Danny’s legion of A-list lovers, including models Kelly Brook and Katie Price as well as the Hollywood wild child Lindsay Lohan.
And their fears about the fallout from Danny’s book have become clear in recent weeks.
Split: The 36-year-old athlete and the 42-year-old mental health campaigner, who married in April 2021, put their relationship to the test two weeks ago by text on his phone after a series of “difficult” arguments, MailOnline has learned exclusively revealed

Danny, who has also dated TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, sassy girl Monica Irimia, Australian pin-up Lara Bingle and celebrity Big Brother star Jasmine Waltz, appeared in Who Am I? how he was “very disciplined” in his efforts and admitted that he managed to “send one girl out of the house just in time before the next one arrived”.
He documented his romance with former Big Breakfast presenter Kelly, whom he dated between 2008 and 2010, in detail while making a name for himself in rugby union.
Danny revealed in the book how their relationship ended after Kelly, 43, suggested he have a lap dance at a strip club in Las Vegas, leading to a heated argument that ended with his wrists being slashed.
Claiming that he was drunk and that the stripper “did more than just dance,” he admitted to singing some cheesy lyrics to her before telling the dancer that he planned to break up with Kelly and the Would spend a week back in Sin City afterwards.
But the stripper then told her friends in the club’s bathroom, which Kelly overheard.
He explained: “Kelly came out and punched me in the face” before being detained by bouncers.
The night’s chaos took its toll on Danny, who returned to the hotel and injured himself with a piece of glass.
Danny said: “I felt like I couldn’t express my feelings because I had so much inside of me that I hadn’t dealt with yet. So I think it was the right thing to do.”
After the split, Danny claimed that the two later secretly dated in Mauritius when she moved on to his former teammate Thom Evans, who is now engaged to Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, he said: “I felt that it was fair play… I felt that what was mine was no longer mine. “I was friends with Thom. It was definitely a difficult scenario.”
He described Mean Girls star Lindsay to his A-list lovers as “just really sweet” and was keen to point out that his romance with glamor girl and former Loose Women star Katie was not a good relationship: “I not me.” ‘. Date Katie Price. But I slept with her.’
Danny’s tendency to overshare was the main reason for his relationship with Victoria.
Even as he confirmed their marriage was over in an Instagram post on Monday, shortly after Mailonline broke the story, Victoria was again upset because she didn’t like Danny talking about their relationship in public.
Furious, she wrote to her 11,200 followers on Instagram: “I’m not sure why Daniel has to tell Instagram about his relationship status.”
“I don’t want the invasion. Can I ask for some privacy as I navigate this vulnerable time? Thank you.”
Mailonline told Monday how the couple, who have been together since June 2020, hired divorce lawyers after splitting two weeks ago.
An insider revealed that the marriage was going well until the summer, when Victoria found messages on his phone that led to a series of arguments.
The source added: “Victoria has become increasingly unhappy over the past few months. Tension arose and then she saw some text messages on his phone which led to difficult arguments between them and they broke up in the meantime.”

The former Wasps and Baths ace has moved out of his home in Kent and is living at a different address, although the source says he visited there last week.
Danny’s statement announcing the split said he wishes his ex nothing but the best.
However, he made a mistake when he claimed they were divorced after four years of marriage – even though their wedding anniversary was already two years ago.
He shared: “Victoria and I sat down this weekend and agreed to separate after four years of marriage.
“Although we have had some wonderful times together, we have also realized that we are on a different journey and while this is sad news, it is also a new chapter for both of us in the search for our own happiness. I wish Victoria and her children nothing but the best.”
