Former England footballer Kieran Trippier has revealed he split from his wife Charlotte more than a year ago.
The Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur star announced the news after months of speculation over the state of their marriage.
In a statement on his Instagram stories, Trippier wrote: ‘I have never commented on my private life but the tabloids seem to want to continue Writing force narratives I feel I have no choice but to confirm publicly that myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago.
‘I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect to our children.’
Tripper’s announcement comes days after it was claimed that Charlotte was consulting divorce lawyers.
Meanwhile, the footballer, 34, was reportedly seen mingling in Ibiza with another woman this week.
The Newcastle United player was spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry and her pals including Love Island star Jess Harding at Ushuaia club on the White Isle.
Kieran and Charlotte married in 2016 and have three children together.
Sources say that they were keen to keep their split a secret so their kids would not have to deal with any upset.
However, it has been reported that Charlotte has a new property where she lives without Keiran.
Rumours of their split began during last year’s Euros in Germany when Charlotte unfollowed her husband on Instagram on the end of the England’s final group game.
She also didn’t jet to Germany like the other WAGs.
She then posted a cryptic message on social media, saying: ‘Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.’
Further posts included the caption ‘the sun is shining, happy Monday’, where Charlotte was seen sitting in the car listening to music while she waited to pick up her children from school.
There had been other indicators that all was not well in the Trippier household. In 2023, Kieran was filmed getting close to a blonde woman in a Newcastle karaoke bar where and his teammates were celebrating United’s qualification for the Champions League.
Not long afterwards, Charlotte and Kieran appeared together in a Prime Video documentary in which she spoke candidly about her struggles when they moved to Spain when her husband was signed for Atletico Madrid.
She said: ‘I was on my own for long. I felt so lonely… about four months in, I was saying, ‘I don’t know if I can stay here, Kieran, I feel depressed. I’ve got no family over here, I’ve got no friends here.’
Today she lives in Cheshire where she enrolled their children into an exclusive private school after moving into a huge £3,85millon mansion in Cheshire while Kieran stayed in Newcastle which is over 200 miles away.
Charlotte has also been spotted without her wedding ring.
In May 2024 Keiran was seen partying with a call centre worker called Frankie Carmichael, 28, where he was seen lifting her up around his waist in a Newcastle karaoke bar.
