Jese Rodriguez splits with girlfriend Aurah Ruiz amid public arguments over their baby son's health problems as she accuses Stoke striker of 'failing us at the worst moment of our lives'

Stoke striker Jese Rodriguez has announced he has split from his girlfriend Aurah Ruiz amid continuing difficulties with their baby son's health.

Jese confirmed the break-up on Twitter but the bad blood continued as Ruiz said 'you failed us at the worst moment of our lives.'

Their son, Nyan, was born prematurely last June and has been in hospital in Gran Canaria ever since. Ruiz has previously publicly accused Jese of going 'a month and a half without seeing him', and heading out with friends rather than be with his family.
