The publication has also stated Jeff has appointed a lawyer, who said in a statement that Jeff had not done anything wrong. “At no stage was my client arrested, charged or detained, and no summons has been issued to him,” they confirmed.

At the time their breakup was announced, it was claimed Rhi and Jeff had been “living apart for weeks” and their relationship fizzled out due to a lack of effort on Jeff’s part.
