      AS football pundit Richard Keys lay sleeping, his wife Julia tentatively opened the text messages on his phone.What she saw made her heart stop.

      There, in black and white, were a series of exchanges between the presenter and a young lawyer called Lucie Rose – a woman more than half his age and his daughter Jemma’s best friend.
      Julia, who checked Keys’ phone on ‘female intuition’, woke her husband and demanded to know what was going on.
      Still recovering from thyroid cancer, she was devastated at the thought he could be cheating after 36 years together.
      But the brazen star, working for Al Jazeera TV at the time, brushed off her concerns, insisting Lucie needed help with a problem and that he was a mentor to her and her friends.

      He even claimed that the group referred to him as their ‘Doha dad’.
      But it was all a lie which would unravel 18 months later, in 2016, when Julia found more incriminating texts and posed as Richard to get to the truth.
      The cruel betrayal left Julia, 62, son Joshua, 34, an assistant producer in America, and Jemma, 38, a former Hollyoaks actress, devastated.
      Julia had stood by him when he quit Sky Sports in 2011 after being caught making derogatory comments about women – including official Sian Massey.

      £20k wedding
      At the weekend Keys, 66, married Lucie, 35, in a low-key £20,000 ceremony in Devon. 
      Unsurprisingly, daughter Jemma was not among the guests.
      Keys told The Sun ahead of the nuptials: “I’m a very lucky man, although feeling a bit nervous. 
      “We’re heading off to Canada for our honeymoon which is a bit different. Then it’s back to work for both of us in August and the start of the football season for me.
      “People might think I’m a bit long in the tooth now but I don’t care.”

      Certainly, psychologist Julia has accused him of not giving a fig about his behaviour – claiming today he only told her about the wedding in a text two hours before getting hitched.
      She previously called Keys “controlling” and “manipulative” after discovering the affair during a family holiday in Cornwall.
      In a 2017 interview Julia revealed the moment she tricked Richard’s lover to get to the bottom of the fling.
      Richard and Jemma were sleeping after the long journey to St Ives when Julia saw a picture of Lucie pop up on Richard’s phone along with the message: “You okay?”
      She said: “That’s when I pretended to be Richard.
      “I texted back: ‘No, I’m not’. Ping, Lucie replies: ‘I didn’t think you were. You sounded so sad. I just wish I could give you a cuddle.
      “I ping back ‘so do I’, then she pings over a picture of herself.
      “I say a few more things like, ‘ it will be great when we can see each other again’.
      “She sends emoji hearts and cuddles. Then I got so incensed I couldn’t be bothered carrying it on any more.”
      Sexism storm
      Keys met up with Lucie, who worked as a lawyer at a Qatar investment company, when he took a job for Al Jeezera with old pal and fellow sports presenter Andy Gray.
      The pair left Sky in the midst of a sexism storm.
      Keys quit in 2011 after he asked pundit Jamie Redknapp if he had slept with an ex by asking him, “Did you smash it?”.
      He and Gray also thought they were off-air when they made comments about linesman Massey questioning the ability of women to do the job.
      A video then emerged of Gray crudely referring to Massey’s appearance and a third clip showed him making inappropriate comments to presenter Charlotte Jackson.

      When Keys was caught red-handed with Lucie following the texts, Julia says he was “on his knees begging me not to leave him and saying how sorry he was”.
      She added: “Then when things eventually calmed down – and this is where it really hurts – Richard said: ‘What’s the problem? Everybody does it. Anyway, she’s leaving the country so it’s never going to last.”
      Richard promised his fling was over but Julia, who was still in recovery from thyroid cancer, said he carried on seeing Lucie behind her back.
      When he was diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm in Doha in 2017 he returned to Britain to see a consultant and his wife went with him.
      He needed an operation to fix the aorta in his heart and Julia looked after him.
      But she claims Keys was even cheating on her then.
      She said: “Richard told me a mutual friend was going to take him to hospital, instead of Josh (their son) and me. 
      “But it was Lucie and Richard’s sister. 
      “Richard had a meal the night before his life-saving operation with his sister and girlfriend, not me who’d been married to him for 36 years. And that was after he’d been begging me to have him back.’ 
      Daughter’s pain
      Daughter Jemma said the two-year nightmare plunged her into the depths of a long battle with alcoholism.
      She was charged with harassment after sending a string of abusive texts to Lucie which referred to her as ‘the filthiest sl** and a ‘Qatar w****’. But the charges were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. 
      She said in 2018: “All I can say is that it was 18 months down the line from finding out about the affair – which was the most awful betrayal – and I’d hit the lowest, darkest point of my addiction.
      “The revelation had come so completely out of the blue. I was under the illusion Lucie was the complete opposite of the person she’s turned out to be – there was never any inkling she’d do something like this.
      “Dad had been my idol all my life and, although I still love him, I don’t know who he is anymore. I have nothing to say to him.”
      Richard later denied he left his wife while she was recovering from cancer.
      He told the Athletic: “I’ll mention the unmentionable for you. Did I leave my wife fighting cancer? No. I don’t know what happened.
      “I don’t know why our marriage ended the way it did, but my wife was fighting cancer for seven years before I left her and she had been in remission for seven years.
      “I know how hard it was for her when things went wrong. I wasn’t going to start engaging in a tit-for-tat, he-said, she-said, respond to everything that was said about me.
      “If people believe that I walked away with my wife fighting cancer with a friend of my daughter’s, I can’t change that now. Tell a lie twice and it becomes the truth. Tell it on social media and it haunts you forever.”
      He also claimed his marriage to Julia collapsed amid his daughter’s alcohol problems. In a blog post he also denied that Lucie and Jemma were ever friends.
      He wrote in 2018: “Sadly my daughter’s problems have haunted our family for 15 years or more.

      “Those that know us well would tell you that we have tried everything to help her. We’ve spent in excess of £250,000 on rehab. I have never come up short on any family matters.
      “Jemma’s issues are at the core of my marriage break-up. My wife and I disagree on her treatment. Quite simply – I refuse to enable her with her problems any further. Those with addictions will understand what I mean.” More

      Argentina World Cup star Claudio Caniggia accused of sexually assaulting his ex-wife

      by

      EX-RANGERS star Claudio Caniggia has been prosecuted for “aggravated sexual abuse” following accusations made by his ex-wife.Former partner, Mariana Nannis, accused the Argentina striker of “beating and threatening to kill her” in a hotel room in 2018.

      Caniggia, 56, was prosecuted on Monday without pretrial detention, Argentine newspaper Clarín reports.
      Authorities established that Caniggia “should refrain from maintaining any kind of contact with the complainant, Mariana Belén Solange Nannis Silles, be it in person, telephone, text messages, social networks, emails or WhatsApp, instant messengers or an intermediary person.”
      He will also have to “inform and prove, more than five business days in advance, when he will leave the national territory of the Argentine Republic, expressly indicating the destination to which he will go and the time that he will remain present in foreign territory.”
      Authorities have also issued an embargo on the footballer’s assets for £15,400 – or five million Argentine pesos.

      It was established that this amount must be deposited in the country’s public bank, Banco Ciudad, “at the disposal of this judicial headquarters within the term of three days of notification of this order.”
      Caniggia was married to Mariana for 31 years, and they have three children together.
      The couple split in 2019 after he got together with model Sofia Bonelli – who he wed that year.
      Mariana filed her complaint to the prosecutor’s office of Dr Carlos Velarde in February 2020.
      Most read in Football
      After months of investigation, it was determined that the alleged crime happened in the early hours of May 5, 2018, after the couple left a wedding party in Buenos Aires and headed to Residencias del Hotel Faena, also in the Argentine capital.
      According to the file, Caniggia tried to have sexual relations with his then wife, but when she refused, he threatened to kill her, Clarin reported.
      He then “failed to punch her in the face as she covered herself with her hands, but then hit her in the arms and hands,” according to Mariana’s account, who claimed that she was sexually abused after the assault.
      The ex-wife’s complaint also mentioned that Caniggia’s alleged violence “affected her and the couple’s children, as well as some aspects of family privacy.”
      In March last year, the World Cup star appeared in court after being accused of rape.
      However, Judge Pablo Ormaechea ruled that there was not enough evidence to make a decision, and had asked the prosecution to continue investigating.
      The player is now no longer being accused of rape, but instead, he is being prosecuted for aggravated sexual abuse.
      In Argentine law, both aggravated sexual abuse and rape are serious offences, but they are defined and treated differently.
      Aggravated sexual abuse refers to any sexual act without consent, involving violence, threats, or abuse of authority.
      It can also include situations where the victim is unable to give consent due to factors such as age or disability.
      On the other hand, rape, known as “abuso sexual con acceso carnal” in Argentina, specifically involves non-consensual sexual intercourse or penetration.
      It typically carries more severe penalties compared to aggravated sexual abuse.
      Caniggia helped the Rangers win an SPL title, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups after a 2001 move from Dundee.
      He scored seven goals in 21 Dundee appearances following his 2000 arrival from Atalanta.

      Shakira reveals shocking moment she learned of ex Pique’s ‘betrayal’ while her dad was fighting for life in hospital

      by

      SHAKIRA has told of her heartbreak after she learned of Gerard Pique’s “betrayal” while her dad was fighting for his life in hospital. She recalled how she was left devastated by the double blow as she couldn’t turn to her beloved father William Mebarak Chadid, 91, “for the advice she needed so much.”

      Describing him as her “best friend”, the Colombian singer explained how her dad had rushed to her side for support following the split.
      She announced her separation from former Barcelona star Pique in June last year amid rumours he had been caught playing away.
      Shakira, 46, reportedly worked out he was cheating after finding an empty jam jar in their fridge – a condiment she and her children do not eat.
      The cryptic clue is said to have brought her to the conclusion that Pique had evidently had a secret guest over without her knowledge.
      READ MORE ON SHAKIRA
      Other reports claimed she had recruited a team of private detectives to snoop on the footie ace in the hopes of confirming her suspicions.
      Shakira told People en Español that she was first enlightened to her ex’s alleged infidelity shortly after William was “gravely injured.”
      The mum-of-two said: “He went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation.
      “While he was at Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart.
      Most read in Football
      “I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.”
      She recalled thinking that she “wasn’t going to survive” the turmoil life had thrown at her without her beloved father by her side.
      Shakira, who shares sons Milan 9, and Sasha, 7, with Pique, previously informed fans that William had suffered a “bad fall”.
      She continued: “The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most.
      “I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much.”
      But throughout his “hard and slow” recovery from the incident, Shakira revealed he has been her source of strength in wake of the messy feud with Pique.
      The songstress said: “He has overcome COVID once, two accidents, one pneumonia and five surgeries— all of this at 91 years of age, in less than six months.
      “My dad is the biggest example of resilience, and my mother has been by his side day and night.”
      She dubbed her mother Nidia Ripoll Torrado her “partner in crime”, before praising her parents’ relationship with a back-handed dig at Pique.
      Shakira added: “They have both been a reflection of that dream that didn’t come true for me.
      I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.Shakira
      “But I hope they are role models for my kids of love, of patience in relationships, of absolute devotion and zest for life.”
      She reportedly delayed her move to Miami due to her dad’s poor health, despite being desperate to flee for a fresh start.
      In true Shakira style, she unleashed her pent-up emotions towards Pique in a smash hit song referencing the cheating rumours.
      Her fiery diss track “Sessions” was laden with brutal barbs towards her former partner of 11 years and his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 24.
      Shakira compared his new romance to swapping “a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo” and joked that she was clearly “too big” for him.
      In her latest interview, she revealed that she was “very excited” to wow the world again with her new music.
      The A-lister said penning songs has helped her “untangle” the web of emotions she has been overcome by over the last year.
      Her reported new beau Lewis Hamilton is also believed to have lifted her spirits following her public break up from Pique.
      Rumours about the stars have been hotting up after a series of photos of the pair enjoying cosy outings have emerged.
      It has even been claimed the duo are due to jet off for a “romantic holiday” in the Caribbean.
      RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS
      Insiders alleged the pair hit it off after being introduced by Lewis’ F1 rival Ferrari track ace Carlos Sainz, who is pals with them both.
      The superstars are said to be keeping things “fun and flirty” for now as they navigate their rumoured new relationship.
      Sources have insisted they are just friends, but that has not stopped swirling speculation.
      In one snap of them enjoying dinner with pals in Barcelona, Lewis slinked his arm around the singer as they sipped on cocktails at a sushi restaurant following his performance at the Spanish Grand Prix.
      Shakira made no secret of her presence on the sidelines and was pictured beaming as she cheered on her rumoured beau as he roared around the track.
      She proudly watched him scoop second place after Max Verstappen triumphed at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
      The She Wolf singer has been taking solace in the company of Lewis in recent months.
      He showed off his chivalry when he whisked her off for a boat day with pals in Miami – by picking her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion late last month.
      Lewis made sure Shakira didn’t have too far to walk as she trotted down her private dock for the day out on the open-top cruiser.
      The Mercedes driver quickly climbed out of the boat to lend the newly single mum a hand as she joined the group onboard.
      ‘LOVE TRIANGLE’
      Lewis later ensured she made it home safe as he dropped her back off at her plush new pad, where she counts the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Matt Damon as her neighbours.
      Shakira’s repeated rendezvous with Lewis have caused a stir since they enjoyed a dinner together at the lavish Miami restaurant Cipriani.
      Smiling at each other, Shakira appeared to join 92-time race winner Lewis and pals at his table in a short video snapped by a fan.
      It comes after more speculation claiming Hamilton and Shakira are in a “love triangle”, which includes Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise.
      That could potentially put Sir Lewis and Cruise’s 10-year bromance in jeopardy.
      Shakira appeared in high spirits when she was seen mingling with the Mission Impossible star, 60, at the Miami Grand Prix in May.
      Spanish media reported he was “absolutely mesmerised” by the mum-of-two and had even told a close circle of friends that he felt a connection with her.
      Sources claimed that Tom was “giddy” after the chat while adding that the interactions were similar to “how he acted” when he first got with his ex-wife Katie Holmes.
      An insider told Page Six that there was “chemistry” between the pair – with Tom sending her flowers after the meeting.
      But Shakira reportedly shot down his advances and instead begged the actor to leave her alone and stop flirting with her.

      She has been pictured with both men recently after splitting with Barcelona legend Pique last year.
      But Shakira is believed to be taking her time before seriously committing to another relationship.
