Danny Cipriani has reportedly grown close to a stunning yoga teacher, two months on from his split from his wife Victoria Rose.
The former rugby player, 36, who was previously linked to Strictly Jowita Pryztal in the wake of his marriage breakdown, is said to have bonded with yoga teacher Eve Kundalini, 41, during his pilgrimage to India.
But friends are said to be concerned about the athlete’s sudden lifestyle change from being ‘settled in Kent’ with Victoria to roaming the hills of India.
‘Danny’s on a spiritual journey. He admires Eve and how in touch she is with Mother Earth. But some of his friends are concerned about how drastically his life has changed,’ a source told The Sun on Sunday.
‘One minute he was with his wife in Kent and looked like he had settled down.
‘Then the next minute he is in the hills of India with a group of people he hasn’t been that close to before.’
In a picture obtained during their travels by The Sun on Sunday, Danny and Eve can be seen at a restaurant in the village of Ooty.
The pair have their arms around each other’s shoulders and are beaming from ear to ear.
MailOnline have contacted Danny’s representatives for comment.
French-born Eve, has taught yoga at the five-star Blakes Hotel in Chelsea, West London and is friends with Jessica Lemarie-Pires, the wife of ex-Arsenal star Robert Pires.
The brunette beauty’s surname, Kundalini, is a form of meditation, linked to tantric sex.
She is a regular traveler and according to her Instagram has visited Bali, France and now India. She regularly posts pictures and videos of her meditating and teaching yoga, whilst also spreading awareness about the ocean and plastic to her 5k followers.
Danny and ex wife Victoria were married for two years but called time on their relationship in November, following a series of ‘difficult’ rows over text messages on his phone.
A month later he took part in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special and was partnered up with Jowita and sent tongues wagging with several cosy behind-the-scenes photos.
At the time of the split, Danny released a statement to announce the news, telling his Instagram followers that he ‘only wished the best’ for his ex.
Since then, Victoria announced that shockingly, she was ‘made aware of the situation at the same time as the public’ in a now deleted post.
The media personality opened up about the difficult time and apologised for her ’emotionally charge response.’
She wrote: ‘Danny publicly announced our split without any prior notice or discussion with me. I was made aware of the situation at the same time as the public, and this has caused me a great deal of pain.
‘I apologise if my reactions and responses have seemed reactive or emotionally charged.
‘The truth is, I am still going through a difficult time, and it is challenging for me to see Danny speaking about our separation publicly while I have not yet found the strength to process it, adjust or heal.
Victoria concluded: ‘I really don’t want to be caught up in the fanfare. Sorry for any hurt I have caused.’
The couple started dating in June 2020 and Danny proposed to the mother-of-two weeks after they first met.
Victoria last shared a picture with Danny in October as she penned a cryptic caption about life ‘having its ups and downs.’
