FOOTIE ace Jermain Defoe ditched a woman called Donna-Louise with a dog called Defoe before moving on to date wife Donna.
Donna-Louise Boyle, 34, was left heartbroken when the former Spurs and England striker, 40, brushed her off.
The pair were so close they even shared a pet Chow Chow dog called Kai Lion Defoe, which has its own Instagram account.
Snaps of telly pundit Defoe with the dog can still be seen on his public social media profile.
They include one of him petting Kai outside in May 2021, three months before he proposed to now estranged wife Donna Tierney.

Both women are from Glasgow where Defoe played for Rangers at the time.
Defoe and mum-of-one Donna, 40, married in a lavish £200,000 ceremony paid for by OK! magazine last summer.
They hooked up after he messaged on social media and met when she asked him for a signed Rangers shirt for a charity event.
A source said of Defoe’s split from Donna-Louise: “It was a really bad time in her life. She loved Jermain and it hit her for six.
“It was a bitter pill for Donna-Louise to swallow, but she’s moved on from Jermain now.”
Scot Donna-Louise is the boss of Cocoberry chocolate shop in Glasgow and is still believed to live with Kai.
The Sun on Sunday told last week how Defoe had shacked up with influencer Alisha LeMay, 31, following his split from “wife” Donna.
There is no record of Defoe’s marriage to her at the local register office.
OK! splashed the wedding across 14 pages and front cover, but did not have a reporter or snapper there, using pics the couple gave.
No images of anyone marrying them were published.

We told in October how Defoe had messaged a nurse begging for sex just weeks after his wedding.
The former West Ham, Portsmouth and Sunderland ace, who scored 227 career goals, tried to lure her for a romp in his Range Rover.
Donna-Louise declined to talk when contacted.
