According to rumours, former England footballer Jermain Defoe and his wife have separated barely months after their £200,000 wedding.
While his wife Donna remained in Glasgow, the former Spurs and West Ham player spent Christmas on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.
Recent photographs have shown Defoe, age 40, without his wedding band, while Donna has resumed using her maiden name, Tierney, online.
Additionally, the 40-year-old has unfollowed her husband on social media, and neither has posted about the other in over eight weeks.
40-year-old Jermain Defoe spent Christmas on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, while his wife Donna remained in Glasgow.
On social media, his wife Donna has resumed using her maiden name, Tierney.
They have both removed photos from Instagram of the OK! Magazine cover featuring their wedding from June of last year.
The Sun on Sunday said that a month after getting married, Defoe solicited a nurse for sexual favors.
The Sun was informed by a source that the marriage seemed to be in jeopardy. The fact that they haven’t spent their first Christmas together as husband and wife indicates that things aren’t looking well.
Since nearly two months ago, there has been an audible hush.
Mr. Defoe has only uploaded images of himself without a wedding ring and has made no reference to his wife.

Donna has only uploaded photos of herself and her family, and she wished her 8,000 followers “all the love and happiness in the world” beneath a photo of her 12-year-old daughter opening Christmas presents.
Donna indicated in her Instagram story that she was happy to see 2022 go and was “looking forward” to the New Year.
The Mail Online reached out to Mr. Defoe’s representative for comment.
Last year, it was reported that Defoe contacted a woman over Instagram and urged her to join him in his Range Rover just weeks after his June wedding; however, the athlete refuted the allegations at the time.
On June 4, Jermain wed Donna, 40 (pictured), in a £200,000 wedding at the Berkshire mansion Cliveden House.
The Sun reports that the youth academy coach initiated communication with the nurse, a 40-year-old mother, in July, having just been married the previous month.
On June 4, Jermain married Donna in the Berkshire mansion Cliveden House.
This is the person I wish to spend the rest of my life with, he told OK! magazine.
On June 21, he said online, ‘Dedicating my entire life to Donna Defoe was one of the simplest decisions I’ve ever made, and I can’t wait to live a life of pure love and pleasure.
Our wedding was like a scene from a movie, and I thank God for granting us such a memorable day with our closest loved ones.
Jermain allegedly began contacting another woman on July 14 and later attempted to arrange a meeting.
The Sun reported that the unnamed woman met the footballer in a bar years ago, but they hadn’t spoken in ages.
Looking back: The Sun said that the youth academy coach initiated communication with the nurse, a 40-year-old mother who had just been married the previous month, in July of last year.
She stated, “In July, he began sending me Instagram messages.” He was eager to meet me, and we engaged in much flirtation.
Then, when I realized he was married, I did not want the relationship to continue.
The woman stated that she did not believe it would have been fair to his wife and questioned why he would be seeking another woman “so soon” after his marriage.
In July, he began contacting the woman, and finally invited her for a ride in his Range Rover and referred to her as “baby” in voice notes.
She continued, “Our communications were amusing at the time, but there was no reason to continue.”
Jermain originally met his wife Donna on social media, when he “liked” her photos.
In January 2021, they met in person at a charity event, where she requested a signed shirt.
Seven months later, he proposed at a hotel in Glasgow with ‘Marry Me’ spelled out in heart-shaped balloons and rose petals.
Donna, a beauty therapist, told OK! magazine that Defoe’s’special’ wedding speech made it quite clear to her friends that he values her.
Jermain has previously been the subject of infidelity rumors, especially about his ex-girlfriend Alexandra Burke.
In 2017, he was accused of precipitating radio host Ben Weston’s divorce, months after he purchased a hot tub from Sally, his saleswoman wife.
