Hendry’s journey into the world of love started at the young age of 16 when he met Amanda at a Pontins holiday camp. Little did they know that this encounter would lead to a long and significant chapter of their lives. The couple tied the knot in 1995, setting the foundation for a family that would witness both triumphs and tribulations.

Family Life:
Their union was blessed with two sons, Blaine (born in 1996) and Carter (born in 2004). As Hendry climbed the ranks in the snooker world, Amanda stood by his side, providing support and sharing in the joys and challenges that came with being part of a snooker legend’s family. The picturesque town of Auchterarder became their home, a place where they built memories as a family.

A Turning Point:
However, after 19 years of marriage, the Hendrys faced a turning point in their relationship. In 2014, Stephen Hendry made headlines by announcing his separation from Amanda. The snooker icon made a life-changing decision, leaving behind the familiar grounds of Auchterarder.
New Horizons:
The reason behind this significant shift in his personal life was a budding relationship with Lauren Thundow, a 26-year-old children’s entertainer and actress. The two had crossed paths at a snooker event the previous year, and a connection had sparked. Hendry’s decision to pursue this new chapter led to his relocation to England.
Financial Settlement and Property Sale:
Divorce often involves financial settlements, and in the case of the Hendrys, it included the transfer of their former home in Auchterarder. In 2021, Amanda, Stephen’s ex-wife, decided to sell the property, a place that held years of shared history. The house, part of their divorce settlement, was listed for around £875,000.
