Former rugby captain Hogg to become a father again, trial looms
Stuart Hogg, the former Scotland rugby captain, is expecting a child with his girlfriend, TV presenter and former jockey Leonna Mayor. Mayor, 34, shared a joyful photo on social media, showcasing her baby bump.
Hogg, who has four children with his estranged wife Gillian, is set to stand trial this year on several charges, including domestic abuse and stalking. He retired from rugby last summer but has since joined French team Montpellier.
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.
