Ex-Chelsea star 'files for divorce' after 'finding out two kids he raised were fathered by his wife's ex'

Court papers show the former Chelsea star has filed for divorce from his wife.

Former Chelsea midfielder Geremi is reportedly divorcing his wife after discovering the two children he raised were fathered by his partner's ex, according to court papers.

The former Cameroon international played for Chelsea between 2003 and 2007, winning the Premier League title twice with the Stamford Bridge club in Jose Mourinho's first spell in charge.

The now 45-year-old arrived at Chelsea from Spanish giants Real Madrid in July 2003, which had followed a season on loan at Middlesbrough.

Geremi went on to find the back of the net on four occasions in 109 games for the Blues, before departing the London side for Newcastle United in the summer of 2007.

Geremi went on to play 54 times for Newcastle in little over two seasons at St James' Park, before ending his playing career with spells at Ankaragucu in Turkey and AEL in Greece.

On the international front, Geremi is second on the all-time appearance list for Cameroon with 118 caps and 13 goals, which ties him with Samuel Eto'o and behind record holder Rigobert Song.

Off the pitch, Geremi is now divorcing his wife after DNA tests proved his two children were not fathered by him and instead by his partner's ex, according to The Sun.

Court papers in his native Cameroon show that Geremi claims his wife Laure "destroyed the harmony" of the couple's marriage "through her abject behaviour".

The couple's twins were born after his wife had a fling with her ex, Geremi said, though Laure claims the babies born in June 2008, four years before their marriage, were the former midfielder's.

However, the court papers said: "No children have been born from this union.

"The discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony.

"It caused him a huge emotional shock."

Geremi began his career with Racing Bafoussam in 1995 in his native Cameroon, before earning a move to Cerro Porteno in Paraguay.

From there, Geremi spent two seasons from 1997 in Turkey with Genclerbirligi, before securing a move to Real Madrid in 1999.

He won La Liga and two Champions League titles at Real, making 76 appearances and scoring twice for Los Blancos, before joining Chelsea.
