Rugby legend Richie McCaw has made sure fiancé Gemma doesn’t feel too depressed about missing out on an Olympic medal, by whisking her off to The Hamptons in America.

The area, which is renowned for being where the rich and famous vacate during the summer, is packed full of high-end restaurants, long sandy beaches and boutique shopping.

No doubt the sporting pair, who announced their engagement earlier this year, have been enjoying some much deserved down time after the buzz of the Rio Olympics – in which Gemma was competing.

But despite Gemma and her Black Sticks’ teammates coming out fighting during the first few rounds, they sadly lost out on an Olympic medal this time round.

Last week, Gemma said on Instagram: “We didn’t achieve out dream of an Olympic medal that we wanted more than anything, but thanks to everyone for your support. I’m very proud to be a part of a group of amazing women who gave their all for this campaign.”

Meanwhile Richie posted on his social media page: “We’ve had a great week in The Hamptons. Looking forward to getting home for the premiere of ‘Chasing Great.’”

The intimate documentary about Richie follows the star over his final 365 days leading the All Blacks. It’s released on September 1 here in NZ.
