Didier Drogba Separates From Wife After 20 Years
Chelsea and Côte d’Ivoire football legend, Didier Drogba has announced that he is separated from his wife of twenty (20) years, Lalla Diakate of twenty (20) years who he met in the 1990s in Paris and married in 2011.
The football legend has maintained a discreet life as he tried to hide his loved ones from the limelight. He however, made the announcement after appearing in an intimate video in bed with an unknown woman.
Didier Drogba was forced to issue the statement after appearing bare-chested in bed with a nearly-naked young woman. In the video which a representative claimed had been hacked, the lady playfully dug her teeth into Drogba’s shoulder as he screamed in pain.
He then speaks to her in French about being bitten and appeared to say; “She’s positive! She’d infect me by biting me”.
He later confirmed his split with Lalla afterwards and wrote; “I’m not in the habit of discussing my private life.
“But, because of speculation in the media today, I can confirm that sadly, after 20 years together, Lalla and I took the difficult decision to separate last year.
“We remain very close, and our main priorities have been to protect our children and our family’s private life.
“May God bless you.”
The couple have three children together.
