Who is Lawrence Dallaglio’s wife Alice?
Alice Dallaglio, née Corbett, is a former model and art student.
She married Lawrence in 2005 – with the pair having been together for almost three decades despite a brief split in 2003 before they opted to reunite with each other.
How many children they have?
Lawrence and Alice have two daughters, Ella and Josie, as well as a son named Enzo.
It was reported in 2020 that Ella specialises in knitwear while Josie studies fashion in London – but Enzo’s exploits and pursuits remain unknown.
Enzo suffered a brutal attack from the Dallaglio family’s dog, a Rhodesian ridgeback named Como, back in 2008, which left him with facial wounds that required a two-day stay in hospital
Reflecting on the incident at the time, Mr Dallaglio said: ‘I feel guilty about it because I brought Como into our family.
‘Enzo didn’t provoke him in any way and I am pretty sure there’s an explanation for what happened.
‘The vet and I believe Como may have had a tumour that is pressing against his brain and when touched on that part of the head, the pain was unbearable and made him react as he did. I loved Como, but not like I love my son.’
It led to the family opting to have their dog put down as a result of the attack.

Relationship timeline
The pair met nearly 30 years ago but did split during the year of Dallaglio’s finest hour as a player – after Alice was said to have been unfaithful to Dallaglio with his friend Leon Butler – only to reconcile and marry one another in 2005.
In 2020, The Sun reported that Dallaglio was embroiled in a £10,000 scandal that saw him splash out a London brothel which was said to have offered customers hookers and cocaine.
The publication also claimed that the ex-England international had used his own bank cards to make payments inside the venue in Holborn, London.
News of his visit emerged during a trial where a gang were accused of of supplying prostitutes and Class A drugs, with the brothel having been raided and shut down by police a year previous.
During that visit, they were said to recover bank card receipts at the venue – at which point Dallaglio’s name emerged.
He was reportedly arrested and declined to make any comment on the matter, but he was interviewed under caution by police in the presence of a solicitor.
Dallaglio was also forced to close his business after being handed a winding up order over £700,000 in unpaid tax.
However, it is believed he avoided being declared bankrupt as he agreed to pay of his debts.
