Former Chelsea star Geremi has reportedly filed for divorce in Cameroon after allegedly learning that the two children he raised were fathered by his wife’s ex. Court documents claim that DNA tests prove “no children were born from this union”.
Geremi has reportedly been left with “huge emotional shock” after making the discovery. The former midfielder and wife Laure have raised twins since they were born in June 2008, four years before the couple were married in 2012.
Court documents – which were first reported by the Sun – allege that Laure had told Geremi that the children were his, which motivated them to tie the knot.
Geremi reportedly now claims that the twins were born as a result of Laure’s previous relationship. DNA tests allegedly showed that the children are not Geremi’s.
The documents claim the revelation has “destroyed the harmony” of the marriage. That, the documents continue, is “through her (Laure’s) abject behaviour”.
“The discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony,” the documents conclude. “It caused him a huge emotional shock.”
Geremi also alleges that his wife “psychologically damaged” him. The documents note “repeated lies”. He has filed for divorce over the results of the alleged DNA test.
The former midfielder was an important player during Jose Mourinho’s reign at Chelsea. He joined the Blues from Real Madrid in 2003 and went on to play 109 appearances for the west London club.
