- He is a former Cameroonian professional footballer
- He filed for a divorce after a paternity test turned negative
- He is ending the marriage after 12 years
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid midfielder has filed a divorce after a paternity test on their twins turned negative. Njitap was married to his wife four years after the twins were born, and this motivated him to formalize their marriage.
It was a bitter experience when the DNA results revealed that he had raised the twins who were fathered by an ex-partner to his wife, having believed the children were his in their 12-year marriage.
This betrayal characterized his reason for divorce as a response to this infidelity and deception. We still have no idea of what prompted him to request a DNA test but possible reasons could be that there were doubts and concerns during the marriage that led to the request.
It could also be a possibility that there was a medical reason or even legal issues where DNA testing may be required for legal purposes such as child custody battles or inheritance disputes.
