Richard was carrying a vintage style suitcase in his right hand and was clutching his phone and a jacket in his left.
The Top Gear presenter’s ring was clearly visible on his finger as the pair headed into Global radio‘s headquarters in Leicester Square.
Richard announced his shock split from wife Mindy, 58, on January 9.
The couple have been together for 28 years and have two grown up children together, Isabella – aka Izzy – and Willow.

Newspaper columnist Mindy is believed to have ‘demanded’ the divorce, with a source claiming “she wanted him gone”.
The news was shared by Richard and Mindy on an X account they share.
The couple, who were together for 28 years and married for 23, said: “A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently.
“Our marriage is coming to end, but we’ve had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.
“We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created.
“We won’t be commenting further and sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time. With Love, Richard and Mindy.”
It is believed Mindy is asking to keep their £7million Bollitree Castle estate, located in Herefordshire, as they draw up divorce settlements.
A source told The Sun: “Richard is very upset about all this. It seems he has tried hard to rekindle the relationship but to no avail.
“There is no speculation that any third party is involved.”
Last week, Richard branded himself “an idiot” after making a big blunder at the family home.
The petrolhead revealed how he found himself locked outside in his dressing gown and Crocs while putting the bins out.
Richard, who was supposed to be en route to the Lake District, said he even tried to break a window with a brick before resorting to calling a locksmith.
He admitted in a Drive Tribe video: “So in short, I’m late because I’m an idiot.”
It’s likely Richard will address his split with Mindy on his and daughter Izzy’s podcast, Who We Are Now?.
The podcast is produced by media giant Global, which is where the father and daughter duo were headed on Monday.
A source said: “This is a chance for Richard to touch on what’s been happening in a way that he is in control of the messaging.
“The podcast is all about talking about feelings so it would be odd if he didn’t acknowledge the massive life changes he and his family has been going through, especially as his daughter Izzy is his co-host.”
