Former Chelsea star, Geremi Njitap, has filed for divorce after finding out that he raised twins that were never his children in 12 years of marriage.
The 45-year-old has been married to Toukam Fotso Laure Verline for over a decade.
The UK Sun reports that court documents in Geremi’s native Cameroon show Toukam “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage “through her abject behavior.”
They also mention her “repeated lies”, and add: “No children have been born from this union.”
Toukam had claimed the twins born in June 2008 — four years before the couple’s marriage — were his, which motivated them to get married.
“But the discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony,” the documents add.
Geremi made 109 Chelsea appearances between 2003 and 2007, scoring four goals.
He played for Real Madrid between 1999 and 2003.
On the international scene, he was part of the Cameroon team that recorded consecutive AFCON triumphs in 2000 and 2002.
