His post read: “I don’t normally discuss my personal life but due to false media speculation today I will confirm sadly that after 20years together Lala and I made the difficult decision to separate last year.”
The Chelsea legend, however, mentioned that he still has. Cordial relationship with his ex-wife for the sake of their children.
“We remain very close and our main focus has been our children and protecting them and the family’s privacy,” his post added.
