UK Mirror reports
Chelsea footballer John Obi Mikel has secretly fathered two children with different women, it has emerged today. The 28-year-old midfielder is dad to a four-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter after short relationships with the women.
The Nigerian international player, whose side lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace yesterday, makes sure he provides for his two children. He is understood 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, I think, agreed to give her a new car every three to 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 daughter's mum added: "John has provided for her and the girl.
"She seems to have come into money since having the baby and is keeping a low profile."
Mikel is now dating Russian businesswoman Olga Diyachenko and has posted pics of the pair together on social media.
In an interview in Nigeria last year. he revealed: "I've been dating seriously for two years now. I'm in love. I've found love."
A spokesman for the footballer told The Sun: "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."
