He was honoured with an MBE in the 2024 New Year Honours for his contributions to rugby union. Hogg separated from his wife in November last year, soon after their youngest child was born.

In April, Hogg revealed he had spent time in rehabilitation, describing it as a period of intense personal struggle. He expressed that he felt lost and needed a break from the public eye to reflect and seek direction. He shared, “I’ve been so concerned about what people thought of me, how I was coming across, the impact I would have on them, and how I would survive the day.”

Hogg spoke about the benefits of his time in rehab, stating it allowed him to reset, learn about himself, and discuss his feelings without judgment. He admitted that it was a challenging process but ultimately the right decision.

Hogg and Gillian, now 37, married in 2016 and lived in Hawick, Roxburghshire. Shortly after their baby’s birth in November, it was revealed that Hogg had been dating Leonna Mayor, once hailed as the “world’s sexiest jockey” by a magazine.

Currently out on bail, Hogg faces six charges, all of which he denies, with his trial scheduled for November.
