Married Premier League footballer 'texted mistress, 33, on his wedding day and fathered a child with her during two-year affair'

A married Premier League footballer allegedly fathered a child with his mistress, who claims he texted her on his wedding day.

Jaqueline Sousa, a 33-year-old event hostess, claims she has been raising her daughter on her own for nine months after the footballer cut all ties with her.

Sousa - whose surname was changed for legal reasons - told the Sun on Sunday that last month she sent a letter to the player's club, detailing a paternity claim for maintenance payments.

In the letter, she claimed she had been completely cut out of the star's life since she gave birth to their now nine-month-old daughter.
