Former Cameroon international and ex-Chelsea midfielder Geremi Njitap has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife after a shocking DNA test revealed that he is not the biological father of the twins he has raised for years.

According to court documents obtained by Cameroonian media outlets, the 46-year-old football legend—who enjoyed a successful club and international career—took the paternity test after harboring suspicions about the children’s parentage.
