In the interview, Richard’s mother explicitly mentioned that she was restricted from discussing the rumored separation between her son and his wife.
While Annabelle acknowledged that Richard has been staying with her for a month, she carefully avoided directly confirming the alleged split between Richard and Sarah.
The ambiguous statements fueled speculation, but Annabelle did not provide a clear affirmation of her son’s relationship status.
