      “Madou Tamba is a respected construction manager in Senegal and was tasked by Sadio’s agent to oversee the footballer’s various building projects in the country.
      “That meeting played a key role in Sadio meeting Aissata. He worked closely with her father.
      “The two men developed a trusting working relationship and through that relationship Sadio was introduced to his daughter.
      “Everyone in the village of Bambali is delighted for them. Sadio is a good man. He has given lots of money to the people of Bambali and he deserves to be happy.

      “He hasn’t stopped smiling since the wedding and they both look so pleased.”
      The wedding came days before the Al-Nassr star Mane is set to captain Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
      Sadio has funded a number of charitable construction projects in his hometown Bambali, including a school, a health centre, a post office and most recently a small football stadium.
      He has also provided laptops for the school, a 4G network for the entire community and £60 (70 euros) a month for every family in his old neighbourhood.
      Pulse Sports reported that Mane had taken care of Aisha’s bills when she was in school.
      The pair, who are from the same area in Senegal are seen grinning in photos surrounded by friends and family during the ceremony in Dakar.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      Speaking to local media following the wedding, Sadio admitted he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
      “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said.
      “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
      Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 19-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.
      “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.
      “I called him up so that we could applaud him and wish him a happy marriage.
      “May God bless your home and your descendants. From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”

      Alex Scott & Jess Glynn are ‘getting serious’ but one’s got a ‘rebellious side’, says body language expert

      by

      WHILE the beginning of their relationship may have been underwraps, but Alex Scott and Jess Glynne have been packing on the PDA since making their relationship official in November.Since then the BBC presenter and Brit Award-nominated pop star’s relationship has gone from strength to strength and this month they took the next stepas they jetted off on their first couple’s holiday to Mexico.
      Alex Scott and Jess Glynne have been official since NovemberCredit: Rex
      The video Alex shared of their moped ride displays ‘strong affection’ according to body language expert Judi JamesCredit: instagram
      Judi James says that the couple’s gestures suggest that their relationship is authenticCredit: instagram
      Former Lioness Alex shared a glimpse into their romantic getaway on Instagram earlier this week sharing a selection of sun-soaked snaps as well as a video of the pair riding around on a moped.
      And according to body language expert Judi James the holiday video suggests the pair are getting serious.
      TRUST & AFFECTION
      Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, Judi says: “Alex and Jess’s body language here shows high levels of trust between them plus the powerful trait of each intensifying and complimenting the happiness and the fun of the other. 
      “Jess seems to balance a more serious side to Alex by bringing signals of rebellion and spontaneity that might border on the reckless, while Alex appears to produce signals of strong affection and empathy in Jess.”
      MIRRORED AFFECTION
       “Their body language is full of subliminal mirroring, even in this short clip,” Judi adds.
      “When Alex turns her head away from Jess they both produce almost identical smiles to suggest like-minded thinking and emotions and when Alex turns to look back at Jess both of them get the rounded cheeks that suggest authentic happiness.”
       EMOTIONAL GENEROSITY
      “Alex’s eyes seem to gleam here, but as Jess prompts an open-mouthed laugh from Alex there are clues in the way that Jess then gazes at Alex’s face that she is made happy by prompting that laugh and watching the results, suggesting emotional generosity,” Judi explains.
      “Jess licks her lips as Alex looks away but then she performs the big tongue-poke gesture to the camera to show off her more rebellious side after the cute moment of subtle emotional reveal with Alex.”

      The video captures the couple’s interaction on a moped ride during their fun-filled holiday.
      In the video, Scott says: “You know what we are? Brits abroad.”
      Glynne, 34, laughed and replied: “Brits abroad with chin straps.”
      A beaming Scott then added: “Safety first.”
      Glynne said: “Mexico, I’m ready,” before the traffic began to move and Scott set off.
      The couple sparked dating rumours earlier this year when they were spotted at Wimbledon together before attending an awards show.
      Their relationship was later confirmed with a public kiss and they have been inseparable ever since, with both seen at BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
      However, there have been a variety of clues that they were dating one another.
      As far back as May, they were snapped at an event called Advertising Week Europe.
      A few months later, the pair were spotted side-by-side watching Wimbledon.
      They wore matching white ensembles as they cheered on England’s Katie Boulter against Daria Saville. Their outfit choice suggested they were already in sync.
      Right before Scott took on her presenting duties at the Women’s World Cup, the pair enjoyed a pub lunch together in North West London.
      Alex and Jess enjoyed pints at the time and appeared in high spirits as they drank and chatted.
      That same month, in August, the famous two both attended a Coco Der Mer party.
      Alex looked stunning as she donned a black top and her hair slicked back at the collection launch.
      Jess was also in attendance and oozed glam in a black leather top, with the songstress posing next to Alex for photos at the event hosted by Helena Christensen and Charli Howard. Matching dress code once again.
      The pair’s relationship was confirmed when they were spotted sharing a kiss in November ending all speculation.
      Work commitments meant Alex and Jess were a ‘slow burn’. Their romance was formed organically over time.
      A friend told The Sun: “Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn’t want to rush things or go public too soon.
      “But they’re officially an item now and seem really happy. They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.

      by

      ENGLAND star Kyle Walker has been embroiled in a number of off-pitch controversies during his career.The Manchester City defender, 33, has won five Premier League titles, represented England on 81 times and won a historic treble last year.

      But away from his achievements on the field, he has been involved in a lockdown-breaching threesome and was last year seen flashing a woman in a bar.
      The England ace has now been dumped by long-suffering wife Annie, 30, and is no longer living at their £3.5million home in Cheshire.
      In a statement posted, Annie said: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.
      “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle. I do not wish to comment on the position any further.
      Read more sport
      “For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our 3 young children is respected during this difficult time.”
      The couple, who have three children together and met as teenagers, have seen their marriage dogged by multiple scandals and infidelities involving Walker.
      Walker’s repeated romps in Bentley
      Annie and Kyle were childhood sweethearts and have been dating for more than a decade.
      But in 2019 he was booted out of their Cheshire home after Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown said they repeatedly romped in his £200k Bentley in 2019.
      Most read in Football
      Their secret trysts were uncovered when Laura said she decided to message Annie.
      Walker subsequently had to move into a £8,000-a-month flat around 20 miles away.
      Laura told a pal she first met Walker on a night out in Manchester.
      Influencer fling
      Walker rekindled his relationship with Annie following his romps with Laura after she decided to give him a second chance.
      But he was given the boot for a second time months later.
      The £160,000-a-week footballer then also had a fling with influencer Lauryn Goodman, 32, before she became pregnant by him in March 2020.
      Annie had no knowledge of the fling until he called her to confess to the one-night stand.
      She also recently gave birth to a second child, a baby girl.
      It has not been revealed who the dad is, but her friends believe it is a footballer.
      In September Kyle had bought her a £2.5m seaside mansion to live in with her two children.
      Annie told pals at the time that their relationship was over and met lawyers to hammer out a settlement with the star because they weren’t married.
      In an astonishing interview with The Sun in June 2020, Annie said Kyle’s infidelity became “acceptable” during their turbulent 11-year relationship.
      And the pair subsequently got back together and tied the knot in 2021.
      Lockdown threesome
      Kyle breached lockdown rules by hosting a sex party with a friend and two call girls at the flat he was staying at.
      One of the escorts revealed how the footballer invited them for a three-hour sex session.
      The defender is said to have partied with Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old ­Brazilian call girl after he and a male pal invited them to his apartment in Hale, Cheshire.
      In a statement at the time, Kyle said: “I want to take this opportunity to issue a public apology for the choices I made.”
      Manchester City also later issued a statement which said: “We are disappointed to hear the allegations, note Kyle’s swift statement and apology, and will be conducting an internal disciplinary procedure in the coming days.”

      Kyle’s bar flash
      Following his wedding two years earlier, the City star was seen on exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.
      Kyle dirty-danced with the woman — not his wife — and a female friend after he arrived drunk and boozed with male pals in March last year.
      Footage seen by The Sun showed the boozed-up footballer drop his tracksuit bottoms and expose himself in view of drinkers.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      He subsequently voluntarily attended a police station for an interview for indecent exposure.
      Kyle was later dealt with for being drunk and disorderly following a review of all the available evidence.
      The footie star was also caught snogging a blonde in a 90-minute shocker in a Manchester bar last year More

      Kyle Walker has four children.
      He has three boys with his wife Annie — Riaan, Roman and Reign.

      Lauryn Goodman and Walker also have a son together named Kairo, who was born in April 2020.
      READ MORE ON KYLE WALKER
      Goodman had a brief relationship with the footballer in 2019.
      They conceived the youngster during their time together, when Kyle was temporarily split from his longtime partner Annie Kilner.
      After Lauryn gave birth to Kyle’s son, Annie said in 2020: “What he has done to me and our children is obscene.”
      Who is Lauryn Goodman?
      Lauryn Goodman, born on January 18, 1991, is an influencer, model and clothing brand owner.

      She is the older sister of reality TV star Chloe Goodman, who appeared on shows including Celebrity Big Brother and MTV’s Ex On The Beach.
      Lauryn is an Instagram model and goes by the handle @lauryngoodman91.
      She also founded and runs her own fashion brand — Nineteen Clothing.
      Who has Kyle Walker dated?
      Walker met Annie Kilner when he was 18 years old, while he was playing for his hometown side Sheffield United.
      She was 16 at the time and working as a model.
      In May 2019 Annie dumped Kyle for allegedly having a number of romps with Ex On The Beach’s Laura Brown.
      Reality TV star Laura told a pal she and Walker hooked up in his £200,000 Bentley 4×4.
      Laura says she then messaged model Annie about their trysts.
      She confided to a pal: “I felt Kyle had exploited me by using his power and wealth.
      “Because he is a rich footballer he felt that he could treat me how he wanted.
      “One night I just decided to do the decent thing and tell Annie what Kyle had been doing.”
      Laura told the pal she first met Walker on a night out in Manchester in September 2018.
      She added: “The following day he messaged me online and we started chatting.
      “But we first got together in March when he picked me up from my flat.
      “We then drove to a back street where he parked up and we got into the back together.”
      Laura then wrote to Annie: “He’s a rat.
      “He was always funny and a nice guy to me but when I found out he was actually with u and kids I’m not that girl to keep seeing him I no (sic) you’ve been togther (sic) long time but it’s no excuse for him.”
      When Annie demanded evidence, Laura forwarded a selfie sent to her by Walker, which showed the star in his front room.
      And when Walker discovered the two women had chatted online, Laura claims he contacted her to say: “Messaged her have you?”
      Lauryn Goodman also had a brief relationship with Walker in 2019 while he was separated from Kilner, with Lauryn giving birth to their son the following year.

      Other reports say that his new bride was 18 years old, but there are claims on social media that she is 26.
      Pulse Sports also reported that Mane had taken care of her bills when she was in school.
      The couple’s relationship is supposed to have been kept private until their wedding earlier this week, but friends, relatives, and former teammates are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
      On Tuesday night, Mane and Senegal landed in Ivory Coast for AFCON to wrap up their preparations for the tournament.
      As Mane alluded to, the Lions of Teranga have been drawn into a group that includes two of their closest neighbours.
      They will begin their championship defence against Gambia, a country almost totally surrounded by Senegal, on Monday in the political capital of Yamoussoukro.
      Senegal will then face traditional powerhouses Cameroon on January 19, followed by another local derby against southern rivals Guinea on January 23, both at Yamoussoukro.
      “We are also aware of all that awaits us,” the 31-year-old said.
      “We know that it will not be easy but what is certain is that we will get there, we will do everything we can and everything that is on our side to do you proud and especially the dream of everybody, that’s to say, to retain the title and it’s what we are going to try to do.”
      He continued: “‘Above all else, I think that the first match will be very decisive.
      ” After, as you said, it’s big teams, Gambia and Guinea are derbies, also Cameroon who need no introduction, but we are also Senegal.
      “We are going to try to do the maximum.”
      The Al-Nassr star’s comments come after videos showed his new missus beaming with joy moments before tying the knot.
      Mane’s “long-term girlfriend” was filmed grinning with happiness as she left a car, surrounded by singing friends and relatives.
      Holding hands with who appears to be a family member, Aisha is also seen greeting multiple guests as the crowds guide her to the wedding venue.
      Family, friends and fellow footballers are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      According to Business Day, the couple married in a mosque in Keur Massar on Sunday – located in Dakar, Senegal’s capital.
      The pair are from the same area of Senegal.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      A video was also shared of the pair sat together holding hands as they posed for pictures.
      In one snap, the pair can be seen photographed in front of a decorative sign that reads ”Mrs Mane”.
      Before their nuptials, the footballer had kept the details of his relationship private.
      But back in 2022, Mane did discuss the kind of person he was looking for as a partner.
      In an Interview with Tribune, the former Liverpool forward said: “I’ve seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks.
      “I want to marry a woman who respects God and prays well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love.”
