Côte d’Ivoire and Chelsea FC legend Didier Drogba has announced his separation from his wife of 20 years, Lalla Diakate who he met in the 1990s in Paris and married in 2011.
The footballer who has maintained a discreet private life so far made the announcement after appearing in a video being intimate in bed with a mystery woman.

In the video, Drogba appeared bare-chested in bed with a skimpily clad young woman. The lady playfully sunk her teeth into Drogba’s shoulder as he screamed in pain. He then speaks to her in French appearing to say; “She’s positive! She’ll infect me by biting me.”
In an apparent move to control damage, the former striker’s camp is claiming that his social media account was hacked. Drogba also released a statement revealing that he separated from his wife since last year.
Confirming his split from Diakate thereafter, Drogba wrote in a now deleted Instagram story post: “I’m not in the habit of discussing my private life. But, because of speculation in the media today, I can confirm that sadly, after 20 years together, Lalla and I took the difficult decision to separate last year. We remain very close, and our main priorities have been to protect our children and our family’s private life. May God bless you.”
This is shocking!
Damn!
Oh no. Wish them the best.
