Former Chelsea star Geremi has filed for divorce after DNA tests allegedly showed that two children were fathered by his wife’s ex.
According to court papers in Cameroon via The Sun, the retired midfielder, 45, said the father of the couple's twins is his wife Laure’s previous husband - and not the former footballer.
The documents, which were leaked to media in Yaounde, alleged that she “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage “through her abject behaviour” and “repeated lies.”
The twins were born in June 2008, four years before the couple tied the knot, and the court papers added: “No children have been born from this union… [and] the discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony.”
Geremi said that his wife has “psychologically damaged him” with the revelation causing “a huge emotional shock.” He described the revelation, which came following a paternity test, as a “serious and renewed violation of the duties and obligations of marriage.”
