Danny Cipriani's Ex-Wife Lists His England Rugby Shirts for Sale on Vinted
Fans of former rugby star Danny Cipriani now have a unique opportunity to own a piece of his sporting legacy, as his ex-wife, Victoria Rose, has listed dozens of his official England rugby shirts for sale on the fashion resale app Vinted. This move comes as part of a broader clearance of his prized possessions following their divorce.
Divorce and the Sale of Memorabilia
Danny Cipriani, the former England, Bath, and Sale Sharks player, and Victoria Rose officially filed for divorce in August 2024, approximately nine months after their acrimonious separation in 2023. Victoria, a 44-year-old neuroscientist and former model, appears to be clearing out their former marital home by offering fans the chance to purchase Cipriani's old clothes, including his cherished England kit.
On her Vinted profile, Victoria describes the items as part of a "personal kit archive" from Cipriani's career. She notes that over the years, he accumulated a significant collection of match-issued, tour, and squad-worn rugby gear from England and Sale Sharks, much of it personalized, signed, or linked to specific games and milestones. She emphasizes that these are genuine player items, now being released piece by piece for collectors and enthusiasts.
Extensive Collection and Designer Items
Victoria has already sold around 40 of Cipriani's shirts on Vinted, with many more still available. In addition to rugby memorabilia, she is listing other personal items believed to have been owned by Cipriani, such as Yeezy trainers, Christian Louboutin trainers, Gucci trainers, and a North Face coat. Vinted offers item verification for these designer products to ensure authenticity from major fashion labels like Gucci and Christian Louboutin.
Background on the Split and Storage Issues
Last summer, Victoria revealed her intention to sell Cipriani's items, explaining that she had been storing them for an extended period without his interest in reclaiming them. She stated that for months, and even years, she had paid for storage to hold onto boxes containing his career memorabilia, kits, medals, and personal belongings. Victoria claimed she initially believed Cipriani would eventually want to collect these items, but he declined the opportunity, even during a recent court appearance where he was offered to take them without obstacles.
Regarding their breakup, Victoria previously expressed confusion over Cipriani's departure, stating there was no argument or obvious red flags. She recounted an incident where he abruptly stood up while they were watching television and asked if he could leave and return. Victoria also mentioned that Cipriani struggled with drug use and mental health issues during their relationship, which she tried to accommodate by going along with his behavior.
Cipriani's Response and Relationship Dynamics
In contrast, Danny Cipriani later addressed the split on his Instagram Stories, attributing the breakup to incompatibility, stating they were "not right for each other." However, Victoria countered this by alleging that his behavior, including recreational drug use, was a key factor in their separation. Reports also surfaced that Victoria had seen messages on his phone, adding to the tension. The Mirror has reached out to Cipriani's spokesperson for comment, but no response has been disclosed at this time.
This sale marks a significant step in the aftermath of their divorce, offering rugby fans a rare glimpse into Cipriani's professional history while highlighting the personal challenges that followed their relationship's end.
