A former Chelsea midfielder, Geremi Njitap, has reportedly filed for a divorce from his wife of 12 years after DNA test revealed he’s not the biological father of her twins.
Geremi and Toukam Fotso Laurie Verline — the daughter of late Cameroonian billionaire, Fotso Victor — tied the knot in 2012, four years after she gave birth to the twins in 2008.
