Rick divorced Jack's mother Jill in 2007 after 32 years of marriage and an affair with Australian publicist Sarah Burns, who he later married.
Rick and Jill continued to run their restaurants together.
Speaking of the split, she said in June: 'A separation and divorce is very traumatic, but you learn to get over it. Life’s too short to worry about these things...
'You just go through it. Some days it wasn’t easy, it was difficult. I’m sure it was difficult for Rick as well, and also for the people that worked with us, but we managed it...
'Nothing is insurmountable, and I’m quite a tough cookie, really. I just thought, ‘Well, I’m not leaving my business because we’ve separated,’ that’s the last thing I wanted to do, and also I wanted to bring my sons on, and it is going to be theirs, eventually...
'So it was very important to me that I stayed in the business.'
