Chelsea star Mikel Obi has secretly fathered
two children with different women in England,
according to media reports.
According to a report in the Mirror of UK, the
28-year-old Nigeria international is a dad to a
four-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter
after short relationships with the women. He is
now dating Russian businesswoman Olga
Diyachenko. A spokesperson of Mikel
confirmed to The Sun that the Nigeria midfield
star is a proud father.
“This is an entirely private matter. John
provides for and cares for his children. And will
continue to do so. He asks that their privacy
is respected,” his spokesman said.
He was said to have bought a £500,000 house
in 2013 in the Home Counties for his son and
mum and is keen to play a part in the boy’s
life.
A source told The Sun : “John also agreed to
give her tens of thousands a year in upkeep
and agreed I think to give her a new car every
three or five years.”
Mikel also financially supports his daughter
who was born after the couple met at a
London nightclub in 2013.
A friend of the girl’s mum added: “John has
provided for her and the girl. She seems to
have come to money since having the baby
and keeping a low profile.”
Earlier this month, a top official, Obinna Ogba,
suggested the Chelsea star get married as this
will make him a lot more responsible against
the background he is indifferent to the Super
Eagles cause.
Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh recently disclosed
he has yet to reach Mikel despite numerous
attempts and so he overlooked him for next
week’s AFCON clash in Tanzania.
