Brother thrown out of his posh polo club

EQUESTRIAN Jack Kidd has led something of a rollercoaster life. For much of his 43 years, he has been feted, representing England at polo.

He married American Be Kemeny, the daughter of a PepsiCo executive and the mother of four of his children, in a glittering society wedding at The Hurlingham Club, one of Britain’s most exclusive private members’ clubs, in 2000.

But their seven-year relationship went sour after she discovered he had been having an affair. ‘My heart has been ripped out,’ she wrote in an email to 200 of their friends in 2006 – before throwing his laptop in a lake.

After their divorce, Ms Kemeny told The Mail on Sunday that Jack was especially close to his father, and had tried to emulate him. ‘Jack grew up surrounded by wealth but his family is cash-poor,’ she said at the time. ‘He plays polo professionally which is a rich man’s sport. He and his father always have hare-brainedned schemes to make money.’

In a further twist to the family tragedy, Ms Kemeny is the sister of Eva Rausing, who was married to £1.3 billion Tetra Pak heir, Hans Kristian Rausing. She died of a drugs overdose in the couple’s home in 2012.

Jack has a fifth child with model Callie Moore, who broke off their engagement after five years together. He recently married long-time family friend Rosie Tyser,Tyser 39,39 under a waterfall in Barbados.

Now, expletive-laden comments he posted about the Hurlingham Polo Association on social media could prove his final undoing, at least socially.

He has since apologised for his language. But he shrugged off the cancellation of his lucrative membership as ‘irrelevant’ because he no longer plays polo professionally.
