Married Premier League footballer agrees to paternity test over claims he fathered love child with hostess

A PREMIER League footballer has finally agreed to a paternity test days before a court showdown over claims he fathered a love child with a Brazilian hostess.

Jaqueline Sousa, 33, claims the international player — who cannot be named for legal reasons, but is a household name — is the biological father of her 14-month-old daughter.

The Sun on Sunday revealed earlier this year how the defender invited Jaqueline to his stag do and even texted her while on his honeymoon.

Jaqueline said: “He said he loved me and tried to reassure me his marriage didn’t mean anything.”

The player previously ignored requests from her lawyers, but has now agreed to the test following letters to his club.

Jaqueline told The Sun on Sunday: “My legal team’s been asking him to take a test for almost a year, but he has constantly refused, saying he was too busy with training and he couldn’t travel because of Covid restrictions and quarantine.

“He’s finally surfaced after months of letters and requests, and got in touch with my lawyer — but still hasn’t been in touch to see his daughter.

“We haven’t bothered responding as now it’s too late and we will see him in court when the case goes before a judge.”

Jaqueline added: “This same player is happy to portray himself as a family man and greet kids in the crowd and give them his shirt.”

The hearing is set for November 10.
