BOXING legend Ricky Hatton has found love again with ex-girlfriend Marie Pollard.
The former world champion is back with Marie, who he split with in 2017, and shared pics of the couple making the most of their reunion with a holiday in Croatia.
A source said: “He’s known Marie for years, but they’ve grown close again. Ricky’s really happy.”
Dad-of-three Ricky announced his relationship was back on with Marie, 39, in a post on social media.
It led many to joke that Ricky was ‘punching above his weight’.
In the snaps, Ricky, 42, smiles alongside Marie during a holiday in Dubrovnik.
Hatton tweeted: “Great time with the Mrs. What a place. Highly recommend it.”
He also posted videos of them enjoying a night out. His posts prompted a string of comments from fans.

One wrote: “Ricky you were always a great puncher, but look at your beautiful Mrs you are really punching above your weight.”
Another commented: “Punching still I see champ!”
Ricky and Marie first started dating in 2016 after he’d called time on his on-off engagement to Jennifer Dooley.
The pair, who were together for most of Ricky’s career, have three kids together.
Last year SE revealed Ricky, who is now a grandfather, had split from his girlfriend of two years Charlie Nordell, 35.
Ricky had always jokingly referred to Charlie as the ‘Fun Police’ in posts on Twitter.
Speaking at the time, Ricky said: “She’s a great girl, and I wish her well.”
Last night a source said: “Ricky is in really good shape at the moment.
“He is looking after himself and his focus is on his boxing gym where he is training lots of fantastic young boxers including his son Campbell.”
