Gary Lineker Slams Divorce 'Nonsense'

Gary Lineker has hit out at newspaper reports which claimed his family are "happy" he and his wife Danielle have divorced.

On Wednesday, the couple confirmed they were to divorce following six years of marriage. No reason for the split has been given, but some source have claimed Danielle wanted more children, while her husband did not. However, on Thursday, The Sun ran a story which claimed Lineker's family were "happy" that the couple were no longer together because the glamour model had driven a wedge between the former footballer and his family.

A source was quoted by the newspaper as saying: "Danielle changed Gary for the worse. He seemed to choose her over his family. He became distant and started to care about his appearance more.

"Danielle never seemed to make much of an effort to bond with his family."

Taking to Twitter to deny the story, one of Lineker's sons, 23-year-old George, shared a photo of the headline and wrote: "This is very untrue. Why do papers lie? We all get on very well with @DanielleBux & it doesn't help at a hard time."

His father retweeted his message, adding: "I'm afraid this is the world we live in, George. A complete fabrication and utter nonsense!

"If a family member was ever joyous about a situation like this, they wouldn't be a much valued member of the family."

Danielle, 36, is a mum of a teenage daughter from a previous relationship, while Lineker is a father of four grown-up children from his former marriage to Michelle. The couple divorced in 2006.

In 2007, Lineker was set up on a blind date with Danielle. They tied the knot in Italy in 2009.
