    Football ‘legend’ wins row with crypto millionaire ex-husband in bitter divorce fight over their £7m mansion

    A FOOTBALL “legend” has won a row with her crypto millionaire ex-husband during their bitter divorce fight over a £7million mansion.Women’s football icon Diane Culligan, 63, has been battling with her financier ex Anthony, 62 since their divorce in 2022.Diane Culligan, 63, has won a legal battle to keep her £7million mansionCredit: StartraksDiane and her former husband Anthony Culligan, 62, argued the house should be sold and the money dividedCredit: Supplied by Champion NewsThe London mansion boasts nine-bedrooms and a cinema roomCredit: Supplied by Champion NewsThe power couple had been together for 40 years but when they decided to give the place a £2.1million revamp, things turned sour.As they separated, the Primrose Hill property in north London, which boasted nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a home cinema, became a point of contention.The pair filed for divorce and it soon became difficult to navigate how they would split their assets.Mrs Culligan blamed him for the split, claiming he had “walked out of the marriage without explanation,” which she claimed left her needing counselling.Read more SportMr Culligam said his wife for “overbearing” and “irrational” and claimed his wife had twice physically restrained him from leaving when he had tried to walk out.They agreed that their £27.3m fortune should be split equally, but went to the High Court in a fight over how to do that, with Mrs Culligan desperate to stay in their former home.In a now published judgement, the judge declared that Diane Culligan could keep the million-pound mansion.Despite acknowledging that a single person might not need a nine-bedroom property, the judge accepted that she an “emotional connection” to the London property.Most read in FootballMr Justice MacDonald said: “The wife contends that she needs to remain in the former matrimonial home.”Whilst the standard of living enjoyed by the parties during the marriage was a good one, on the face of it, it is difficult to see how the wife’s current needs as a single person extend to a nine bedroom, seven bathroom property.”Kyle Walker party girls revealed as globe-trotting models – and lift lid on how star is enjoying his new life in MilanHe said even though one of the adult children currently lives at the property, and another plans to move in, the house doesn’t necessarily fit Mrs Culligan’s “current needs.”The Judge added: “Against this, I accept that the wife has an emotional connection to the former matrimonial home to a degree that was not apparent in the evidence of the husband.”Within that latter context, I am satisfied that a fair distribution of the assets can be achieved without the need to sell the former matrimonial home.”The couple met in 1982 before marrying while living in Japan ten years on and having three children together.Both are highly successful with Mr Culligan making a fortune out of digital currencies and Mrs Culligan being a self-proclaimed football “pioneer.”In 2019, the couple set up a company, with Mrs Culligan as the sole shareholder, which was used to purchase the Lionesses, with her husband becoming a director.The 63-year-old founded the Women’s Championship football side which she ran as chairman until 2023.They lived a luxury lifestyle after Anthony’s crypto skills turned £10,000 into a whopping £20million sum.With the rest of Anthony’s crypto cash, the couple made investments into property and built up an impressive portfolio.Mr Justice MacDonald said the former couple agreed that neither of them should get more than a half share of their fortune, but disagreed on how it should be split.Mr Justice Macdonald continued: “Theirs was a long marriage of some forty years.”There must be some sharing of the illiquid…asset, although the wife’s share should be kept to the minimum amount required to ensure fidelity to the principle of fairness.”He finally made an order under which she keeps the couple’s former home, but Mr Culligan gets their rental properties and will be paid £750,000 by his ex.The judge noted that Mrs Culligan had played a key role in removing the Millwall women’s side from the umbrella of the men’s and rebranding them.However, he criticised both parties in his judgment, describing Mr Culligan as a “less than impressive witness” and Mrs Culligan as “not an impressive witness.”READ MORE SUN STORIESWhen the London City Lionesses was sold in 2023, Mrs Culligan continued on as a £750,000-a-year consultant for four years.The judge described her decision to take £3m as annual £750,000 payments over four years as an attempt to “disguise assets as future income.The Judge ruled that Diane Culligan could keep the propertyCredit: Supplied by Champion NewsDiane founded Women’s Championship football side, the London City LionessesCredit: Startraks More

You couldn’t lose that amazing woman.”Another, referencing the reports about Valentina and other footballers which she was quick to refute after confirming she had patched things up with Fernandez, said: “She did it very well. He wanted to be alone?READ MORE ON CHELSEA“With great dignity, she told him that it was perfect and literally left him alone: she took the kids to Argentina, got a job where she is doing well, and told him, “Calm down, I don’t need you.”“By the way, she sent word that many footballers invited her out and that she was willing to fall in love again. My new idol.”Another fan added: “The photo more than half the world were waiting for.”Fernandez and Valentina had sparked reunion rumours at the end of January after being spotted kissing and holding hands as it emerged she was still in London and had yet to return to Argentina with their two children nearly a month after flying to the UK for New Year to “stay a few days.”She went on to fuel fans’ expectations by posting photos showing her having breakfast in a dressing gown on a hotel balcony opposite Rome’s Colosseum with two coffee cups on the table.Most read in FootballConfirming they were back together as she prepared to head back to London last month after a modelling assignment in Buenos Aires, Valentina told an Argentine TV programme: “When I took the children to the UK for New Year we were able to speak.“We’re a family, we’re very young, our children are still very small and while there’s love and good communication, I don’t think there’s anything that can’t be fixed.”Watch Argentina World Cup winner and £107m Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez play hurling on holiday in Ireland Valentina will return to Argentina for work commitmentsCredit: https://www.instagram.com/valucervantes/?hl=enShe denied the rumours that have been circulatingCredit: https://www.instagram.com/valucervantes/?hl=enValentina and Fernandez have two children togetherCredit: https://www.instagram.com/valucervantes/?hl=enShe added in an impromptu airport interview before catching her flight: “Maybe by being with Fernandez in the UK, we realised, he more than anything, that he missed us as his family, that he missed me, and I think it was that.“This separation was good for us so that he realised a lot of things.“Thankfully I’m doing very well. From the beginning, even when we were apart, I had good expectations and I still have them now.“There are worse crises and thankfully ours never became a big thing.”Valentina has just signed for Buenos Aires-based model and talent agency Multitalent Agency and has said she will leave Olivia, who is now enrolled at school in the UK, with Fernandez and fly back to Argentina with their toddler son for future work commitments.Reports around the time the first reunion rumours emerged at the end of January centred on Fernandez trying to fix their love affair after discovering an Argentina team-mate was trying to seduce Valentina.Journalist Daniel Fava said on America TV show A la Tarde he had been told a fellow world champion was “sniffing around her” and then added in a second bombshell claim “more than one footballer” had contacted her over social media since the couple’s shock split.Valentina rubbished the claims as she confirmed she and Fernandez were back together, saying: “I don’t know how that came out or where it came from, but it’s false that one of Fernandez’s team-mates wrote to me.“If one had I probably wouldn’t say so publicly anyway, but I’d tell Fernandez and I haven’t said anything because it’s not true what’s been said.”She also admitted she hadn’t asked the footballer whether he’d slept with anyone else during their near-four month break but revealed Fernandez had asked her.Valentina announced the end of their relationship in late October by writing on Instagram: “With Enzo, today we decided to put space between us.“But we will always be family and we will support each other in everything because there are two children in the middle who need a lot of our love for them.“I know the person and the excellent father that Enzo is, and the heart he has and with that, I’m satisfied.“Don’t try to create wars where there are none.”In an interview with Argentine newspaper La Nacion in December where she revealed the New Year family reunion, Valentina admitted she and Fernandez lived and slept together for another 10 days after he left her shell-shocked by telling her “from one day to the next” he didn’t want to be with her anymore.Speaking of his decision to call time on their relationship, she added: “I think it was a combination of things on his part. He made the decision and I respected it. We have two children together.“To this day, we try to have a good relationship, we try to share, so that the kids can continue living together.“If you ask me what happened, I have nothing specific to tell you.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I just think that he decided to focus 100 per cent on his career, on performing, on finding himself.“He might not have been at his best as a player and tried to find it.
