Ritchie, who presents Nova’s drive show with Tim Blackwell and Joel Creasey, shares six-year-old daughter, Mae, with her ex-husband.
The pair were married for 10 years, and it’s unconfirmed when the couple parted ways.
Ritchie reportedly moved out of their marital home in late 2019. In November 2019, Webb agreed to an apprehended violence order (AVO) that prevented him from assaulting, threatening, stalking or harassing his wife.
