Exactly, and she would have been 17 too, so she had no ties to him. They weren’t at the stage of being married with kids at this point so I don’t have a huge amount of sympathy for her, she could have walked away after his first misdemeanour and had a normal life with a happy marriage but she chose the money.So if you're 17 and you want to sleep around, fine, just break up with your girlfriend and get on with it. The fact that he's done it ever since they got together as kids until right now says he's not happy with his life and a complete hole. I know the clubs encouraged their young players to have a steady girlfriend but it clearly did nothing to rein him in.
I'm not sure I believe there's love their after all this, more like exhaustion but she could have left with a hell of a lot of money and sympathy, parlaying that into more gigs. Then again she probably didn't want him to get someone else on his arm after a couple of months and watch them play happy families for OK mag.
