[The Sun] A married England footie star has secretly fathered a child with his mistress, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
The star had a baby boy with his lover — and is now the talk of fellow Premier League players after news of it spread around dressing rooms.
He had to break the news of his cheating to his wife when he learned his mistress was pregnant.
His wife has told family and friends of her devastation — but has not kicked the player out of their home.
The player and his lover are understood to have reached a significant financial deal over the newborn.
She has surprised pals by selling her business and moving with the baby to a lavish home in an exclusive location in recent weeks.
The footballer has been desperate to keep a lid on his infidelity — even telling some people that he is not the boy’s father.
Meanwhile, the new mum’s close family are said to be furious with the star after he attempted to deny fathering the boy.
Senior officials at the player’s club are understood to be aware of his affair and the baby.
A pal of the star’s mistress said: “She always wanted kids, and was thrilled to fall pregnant, although that wasn’t the plan when she hooked up with the footballer.
“She was surprised to get pregnant soon after they met, but delighted. There was no question of her not keeping the baby.
“She feels bad about the star’s wife, but feels it takes two to tango.
“She understands the footballer isn’t about to leave his family and set up home with her.
“They are both grown-ups and have reached a deal to keep them both happy.
“They both want to get on with their lives, and make sure the child is brought up in the best possible way. He is a little bundle of joy.”
A source close to the footballer said: “Things happen in life but he’s a good man and takes care of things. He does not shy away from responsibility.”
The footballer, who was already a father, has played for several clubs as well as for England.

Beckham?
It depends on the relationship. Some are strong enough to survive this. Most aren’t.
cawatt says
I don’t think it’s Becks or Rooney as neither of them currently play for Premier League clubs.
Maybe Peter Crouch, but that’s a guess, given the “Two to Tango” reference (Abby Clancy did Dancing with the Stars).
gunther85 says
Has to be a current player or else the (former) club wouldn’t care. Sounds like Wayne and Colleen Rooney. He’ll never learn because she never forces him to.
Parade says
Colleen is the roommate at this juncture. She’s a terrible example for women and they are terrible examples for their children. No pity for her, only scorn.
gossipzillaisback says
I thought the same, but Rooney is playing for DC United right now, so the “fellow Premier League” line doesn’t really fit, does it?
mariave says
I can only think of beckham lol. I seem to recall the scandal with his daughter’s teacher.
picklemethat says
Gary Cahill.
JenJenJen says
Harry Kane / Tottenham

Wayne Rooney/ DC United

Gerseychick says
David and Vicky…He cheats, all the time…And pays for his wife’s crap fashion line…
Missy666 says
Becks is NO LONGER A PLAYER
Sleepyandconfused says
Sounds like Rooney.
Only because Beckham is not playing in Premier League anymore.
Missy666 says
Neither is Rooney. …he is MSL
hwkgirl1 says
Who did David Beckham knock up now?
amagod121 says
Wayne Rooney
Kick him out but dump all of his clothes and stuff out on the front lawn, along with a sign, #1 Cheating Dummy, for the world to see.
IBnini says
Beckham?
spookie says
Peter Crouch/Burnley
(“it takes two to tango” – his wife won Strictly Come Dancing)
Missy666 says
That’s a possibility. Amazing as his wife is a huge pin-up and really stunning.
Vampira says
Wayne what’s his name, the ugly one who already has about 4 or 5 sons.
Nchaniago says
I believe that harry kane & his s.o / wife had a baby last year. But its hard to say its them because they already knew each other for a long long time hmm
Jelly Drop says
Wayne Rooney D.C. United
If i was his wife i would be so ticked off. The whole article reads like “oh, it happens. Oopsie!”. But it was an affair and their will be a baby. That means no condom. That means a trip to get tested for STI’s. And that means a step brother or sister. It is nothing small.
carriebradshaw says
not Beckham because he is retired(so no club). I say Rooney. His wife took off her ring (again) recently.
sweetdee7 says
Not Rooney, he’s not in the Premier League anymore. It’s a current Premier League player.
elisemh says
David Beckham. Played for Man United, Real Madrid, PSG, Galaxy, and the English national team.
If I were Victoria I would have been gone a loooong time ago but self respect has clearly taken a back seat to ambition and keeping up appearances.
Poppy27 says
Kieran Trippier plays for Tottenham but he’s just been left out of the team for an important match in Germany with the Manager saying he has played badly in last 2 matches and has a small problem at home!
sweetdee7 says
This! He’s married, has a child and he’s been atrocious these last few games. He fits the ammo. He’s played for for England. He’s at Spurs but played for City, Barnsley and Burnley and he’s still in the Premier League hence ‘fellow Premier League players’. This makes more sense than the Wayne Rooney guesses because he’s not in the PL anymore.
Missy666 says
That’s a likely candidate
Poppycorn144 says
+1 This – Beckham is no longer a player and Rooney’s mistress is most probably past childbearing age given his past preferences.
thekatsclaws says
I think it is Keiron Walker, I saw someone in the know saying on Twitter that it is the talk of Manchester and he has slept with 95% of the city’s women, so she’s surprised this is the only lovechild. She wouldn’t say a name but Manchester City is the only team that has a current England player. He is the only one who is married with children too. The other Man C/England player is only engaged. So by process of elimination, I came up with his name but still just a guess.
conspiracyc says
The guilt would consume me. The love for my kids is crazy, I couldn’t imagine having one I couldn’t talk about or see all the time. It would ruin me inside. Good luck Beck’s!
onomatopoeia says
The Beckhams. The whole marriage is a scam. Victoria does similar things Khloe did. Keeping up appearances.
seewhy852 says
David beckham
equinox says
Peter Crouch
hannahhkate says
My coworker guesses Harry Kane. I have no idea who any of these people are. Lol.
sweetdee7 says
Ha! Harry Kane only ever played for Spurs. He’s not played for any other club.
2tall4u2 says
David Beckham?
challows says
Gary Cahill – Chelsea
I’d kick him to the kerb

Theo Walcott
staceyj says
Wayne Rooney? His wife is a door mat and will never leave him.
gladtobesquare says
David Beckham
Whatever team he played for in England
Wallcat says
I’m going to go with Wayne Rooney – he’s had many affairs.
There’s trouble in the marriage right now as well (wife not wearing her ring) and considering everything she’s forgiven, I doubt that photo of him drinking with a barmaid is the real reason.
Ms_LaRue says
My money is on Rooney. And if its true Colleen should just bin him finally
Missy666 says
John Terry is my guess
La La Orange says
Ashley Young

LizardQueen says
I only know of Beckham and Rinaldo.
Rinaldo would’ve just kept the paid, and paid off mom.
So… I guess Beckham?
LizardQueen says
I meant… kept the kid and paid the mom.
