SIMPLY irresistible…
Melanie Da Cruz, 30, is the gorgeous wife of Manchester United and France forward Anthony Martial.
The blonde bombshell made her name on French TV and has been dating the Red Devils star since 2016.
However, their romance began in controversial circumstances when Martial dumped his then girlfriend Samantha Jacquelinet in 2016 and soon shacked up with Da Cruz.
In 2018, they welcomed their first child together – a boy called Swan.
However, just months after Da Cruz gave birth Martial was alleged to have cheated on her with a French model.
It forced Martial to admit he made mistakes and beg for forgiveness from his family and Da Cruz.
She made her name on reality TV…
In 2015, Da Cruz appeared on Secret Story – loosely based on our own Big Brother.
She didn’t exactly win over the public’s affection and was voted out on day 78.
The show came to a premature end on day 85 when the Paris attacks happened in November that year.
Incidentally, Zinedine Zidane’s cousin Jonathan appeared in the series and was runner-up.
Social media loves her…
Well, her fans do.
Da Cruz is showered with attention on Instagram and has amassed an insane amount of fans.
Currently, she’s adored by three million followers who follow her every move, whether she’s filling up her car with petrol or posing in a bikini on the boat.
She supports her man…
Give her an opportunity and she’ll wear a Man United shirt with pride.
Da Cruz often poses in a Red Devils jersey, wearing very little else, and posts the saucy snaps on her Instagram.
Not only does she guarantee herself millions of likes all over the world, she must also score points with her man.
When Da Cruz and Martial began dating, it wasn’t best received…
Certainly if you’re his ex girlfriend, Samantha.
Back in 2016, Sun on Sunday reported that Martial cheated with singer Emily Wademan in 2016.
They tried to work through their problems, but months later Martial dumped Samantha for Da Cruz.
The woman scorned blasted her love rival, insisting Da Cruz was a “prostitute” after their relationship fell apart.
Survived alleged cheating…
In 2019, Martial was forced to apologise to his then-fiancee amid cheating allegations.
The Daily Star claimed the former Monaco striker slept with French model Malika while Da Cruz was eight months pregnant.
Soon after, Martial took to Instagram to address the story.
“I would like to apologise to my relatives, my beautiful family and especially my fiancée for the harm I have done in recent months,” he posted.
“I made mistakes and I’m sorry it will not happen again.”
But they’ve proved their doubters wrong…
Almost five years later the pair are as loved up as they were when they first met.
They often share selfies together enjoying holidays in Santorini, Mauritius and Dubai.
And the two are proud parents to son Swan, who is coming up to his second birthday.
Martial already has a five-year-old daughter called Peyton from his relationship with Samantha.
After missing out on selection for France’s Euro 2020 squad, at least he will get to spend this summer winding down with his family.
