In a heartfelt message shared earlier, the couple revealed that they are currently navigating challenging personal circumstances. While details were understandably kept private, the announcement resonated strongly throughout the sport, prompting an immediate outpouring of support from fellow players, officials, and fans worldwide.
Wakelin, widely respected for his professionalism, resilience, and sportsmanship on the tour, has long been admired not only for his performances at the table but also for his character away from it. The response from the snooker community reflects that respect, with messages of strength, compassion, and solidarity flooding social media platforms.
In a brief statement, Chris and Lucy expressed their sincere gratitude to everyone who has reached out, thanking supporters for their kindness and understanding. They also politely asked for privacy as they focus on their personal well-being and move forward together during this period.
The WPBSA has acknowledged the announcement, reinforcing its support for Wakelin and highlighting the importance of unity, compassion, and humanity within the sport.
As snooker continues its demanding competitive schedule, this moment serves as a reminder that behind every professional athlete is a personal story โ and that the strength of the snooker family lies in standing together when it matters most.
