Cheick Tiote has been caught marrying a second wife in his native Ivory Coast- to the surprise of his mistress.
The Newcastle United midfielder reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony this month, despite already married to first wife Madah.
The 28-year-old lives with Madah and his two children in a £1.5 million home on Ponteland near Newcastle.
He also has a one-year old child with Mistress Nikki Mpofu, who was not happy to hear the news.
The 33-year old Zimbabwean ended her three-year relationship with the footballer faulting the fact that he promised to make her his wife.
She reportedly told a friend: ‘He met my mum and said he’s permitted to have several wives. I was comfortable with that. He’s used me like a mop. He’s just a pig.’
Tiote’s agent confirmed his client’s marriage to The Newcastle Evening Chronicle.
Jean Musampa said: ‘I can say that he did get married and that it is his second marriage. This is nothing unusual. He is a Muslim.’
Newcastle United were not available for comment.
Alan Pardew talked over the weekend of his love for Tiote, who nearly moved to Lokomotiv Moscow in the summer.
Newcastle manager Pardew said: ‘I love him. He’s everything that you want in a Newcastle player.
‘He has the quality, and of course you’ll never underestimate the fact that he wants to win.
‘That’s something we have to be very careful about on training days!
‘I just love that he’s a winner. It can overcome so many obstacles as a footballer.’
