Walliams' Divorce Divergence: Ex-Wife Thrives, He Recedes

A decade after their divorce, the contrasting fortunes of David Walliams and Lara Stone have become starkly apparent. Stone has found lasting happiness with property developer David Grievson, her husband of four years, living in a home near their former shared residence.

Walliams, meanwhile, is reported to be single and retreating to his Brighton villa, described as 'licking his wounds'. A significant point of divergence is the bond their 12-year-old son, Alfred, shares with Grievson, who speaks fondly of his stepson. This closeness is highlighted as Alfred will spend Christmas with Stone and Grievson.

Professionally, Walliams' career has also faced challenges. He left Britain's Got Talent in late 2022 after leaked audio revealed disparaging remarks about contestants. This incident led to the loss of friendships, including with Simon Cowell, and a perceived downturn in his public image and job offers.
