Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox is being sued by Joshua Jeffords, who has accused Cox of having an affair with his wife and ruining his marriage, according to TMZ Sports.
Jeffords said that Cox had the affair with Jeffords' wife in April and "continued the relationship via text messages" which Jeffords has obtained and says are proof Cox is "liable for 'alienation of affection.'"
Per TMZ, an alienation of affection case in North Carolina can be won if three different factors are proven:
"1) You and your spouse had a genuine love and affection
2) The love and affection was alienated and destroyed
3) Malicious acts of a 3rd party produced the alienation of affection.
