Ricki-Lee Coulter Husband
Is Ricki-Lee Coulter married? Ricki-Lee is married to her husband and manager Richard Harrison. The couple met through mutual friends at a pub at 2am. Ricki-Lee and Rich married at the Château Bouffémont in Paris, France, on 5 August 2015.
Ricki-Lee was previously married to Jamie Babbington. After the marriage ended in divorce, Ricki-Lee was single for about a year and a half and not interested in men at all. She went on maybe one or two dates, then met Rich Harrison.
“A lot of people think I met him because he was my personal trainer, but that’s not true. We met through mutual friends at a pub at 2am,” Ricki-Lee told The Age.
“At the point in my life when we met I was really quite lost. I’d kind of thrown in the towel a little bit, I’d almost given up on my career and my dreams. He would tell me things people had never told me before. He would see something about me and say, “Hey, you really should try this”, “You really should fix this” or “You’re amazing”. He was pushing me, telling me to keep going.
“It takes a real man to stand behind a successful woman, no matter what career she’s in, and not hold any resentment. He is my backbone.”
Ricki-Lee Coulter Husband Jamie Babbington
Jamie Babbington is the ex-husband of Ricki-Lee Coulter. Ricki-Lee and Jamie married in Canungra, Queensland in September 2007. On 18 October 2008, Ricki-Lee’s publicist issued a statement that they had separated due to “distance and time apart”.
After the marriage ended in divorce, Ricki-Lee revealed in an interview with The Age that the whole reason she split up with her ex-husband Jamie Babbington was because “I felt he wasn’t supportive. After seven years, it got to the point in that relationship where I started to feel guilty about wanting to be successful and doing what I want to do, and travelling. I felt as though he wanted me to be at home all the time, but that’s not who I am.
“I did stay far longer than I should have. It’s always on the other side that a woman says, “Oh my God, I wish I’d left earlier.””
Ricki-Lee Coulter Parents
Ricki-Lee Coulter’s parents separated before she was born.
Ricki-Lee Coulter Father
Ricki-Lee’s mum and biological father split up before she was born. They moved from New Zealand to Queensland when she was three months old. So the father figure she had in her life was my grandfather Rocky.
Her mother gave her every chance to visit her biological father in New Zealand when she was a child. She told The Age: “My mum made sure she gave me every opportunity to have my biological father in my life. I would fly over [to New Zealand] as a kid and see him. To me he was just a man who I didn’t know who had the title of Dad.
“He wasn’t a part of my life. I’d go over there and stay with him and his family, [but] it was just weird to me. Then when I got to an age where I could speak up to Mum, about six or seven, I said, “I don’t want to go; I don’t like it.”
“So I haven’t seen him since. Some people think that’s really sad; they say, “Don’t you wish you had a relationship with him?” But I really don’t.”
When Ricki-Lee was about nine years old, her mum met John – the man who Ricki-Lee now calls dad. She told The Age: “When this guy came in, I was like, “Who are you? You’re on my turf now.” He won me over because he’d take me in the car and drive me to Dreamworld on the weekend. He’s a bit of a kid at heart, so we’d run around and get on the rides and we’d go home and watch The Simpsons.
We’re so close, you know. He is my dad. He’s the man who sat there and did my homework with me, who I got in trouble from when I did the wrong thing. He’s the man who made sure I was focusing on the right things in life, my education.
“So I’ve had two amazing dads: Poppa Rock and John. I don’t feel like I’ve lacked in father figures at all.”
