Fourteen years after the scandal that shook England, Rhodri Giggs—brother of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs—is about to embark on a new marriage. In a shocking revelation, he disclosed that he has earned millions of pounds from the infamous affair, sparking a fresh wave of public attention in the UK.
Rhodri Giggs, the younger brother of football icon Ryan Giggs, is once again in the public spotlight as he recently announced his engagement to girlfriend Victoria Phillips on October 18, 2025, after more than a year of dating. While his current life marks a fresh chapter, his past remains an unavoidable topic.
In 2011, Rhodri found himself at the center of a scandal that rocked the UK when it was revealed that his older brother, Ryan Giggs, had been having a secret eight-year affair with Natasha—Rhodri’s wife. The betrayal led to a painful divorce for Rhodri, while Natasha faced widespread public criticism, even participating in the reality show Celebrity Big Brother where she openly admitted to the affair.
Despite the difficult time, Rhodri did not shy away from his past. Instead, he turned the event into an opportunity to earn money. In a recent social media exchange, Rhodri responded to a taunting remark by saying: “That was 14 years ago. I have two kids with someone else and made millions off it. I’m happy with that. You can’t be online and be afraid of people bringing up old stuff.”
This candid confession stirred the UK public, not only due to Rhodri’s bluntness but also because of how he turned a painful family betrayal into a source of income.
Meanwhile, his brother, Ryan Giggs, 51, now lives a more private life with his girlfriend Zara Charles and their child. After stepping down as manager of Wales amid assault allegations involving his ex-girlfriend (which he was later acquitted of), Giggs also resigned from his role as Football Director at Salford City in September and is now seeking opportunities to return to coaching.
Although the two Giggs brothers are said to have reconciled, the events from years ago still cast a long-lasting “scar” on the history of English football. It’s a story of the clash between fame, family, and money—one that no one could have foreseen.
