Snooker world champion Judd Trump has decided to leave the UK in favour of Dubai. The Bristol-born 35-year-old recently built a house near his hometown, but is in the midst of shipping his practice tables overseas next week to make his move to the Persian Gulf a permanent one.
Trump revealed that his girlfriend will not join him in the Middle-East, instead remaining in Hong Kong, where she is from. The snooker star is currently in a relationship with well-known figure skater and TV personality Maisy Ma. The Englishman discussed his move and his new living arrangements with Metro, saying: “My practice tables are getting taken out next week so it’s pretty permanent now.
“My main base will be in Dubai but my girlfriend lives in Hong Kong. I have residence in both Dubai and Hong Kong so I’ll be split between them depending where the tournaments are. “It’s very different, completely different from what I’m used to. I’m used to my old life of just going to practice and then sitting at home all night, every day.
“Now there’s a lot more opportunities to do different things. It’s a more outdoorsy lifestyle, living in those different places, a lot more time after snooker to spend in the sun, or go to the beach or whatever. It’s a bit better and more inspiring than being in the miserable weather for months.”.
