In May 2020, the billionaire was ordered to pay a staggering £60 million (US$80 million) divorce settlement to his ex-wife, Simrin Bakshi, a former star of the reality show The Secret Millionaire. The news came just a week before Choudhrie’s relationship with Ralph became public.

Ralph and Choudhrie met at a networking event in Bordeaux organised by the Young Presidents’ Organisation, which brings top executives and entrepreneurs together from around the world. The spark was immediate, and the couple soon welcomed their daughter, Haliya Choudhrie. By 2023, they were expecting another daughter.
