His wife has told family and friends of her devastation — but has not kicked the player out of their home.

She has surprised pals by selling her business and moving with the baby to a lavish home in an exclusive location in recent weeks.

The footballer has been desperate to keep a lid on his infidelity — even telling some people that he is not the boy’s father.
Meanwhile, the new mum’s close family are said to be furious with the star after he attempted to deny fathering the boy.
Senior officials at the player’s club are understood to be aware of his affair and the baby.
A pal of the star’s mistress said: “She always wanted kids, and was thrilled to fall pregnant, although that wasn’t the plan when she hooked up with the footballer.
