Ah well, we’ll probably never know the whole, true story, but then the participants seem a little uncertain themselves. A few facts are available, however. One is that England’s John Terry was divested of his captaincy of the national soccer team as a result of allegations that he had or was having an affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the French lingerie model.
Terry was and is married and the father of twins. Vanessa’s boyfriend before the alleged affair was Wayne Bridge, teammate and ‘close friend’ of John Terry. When the rumours started flying, Terry tried to get a gag order to keep the whole thing quiet. That didn’t work very well.
Today, in her first TV interview since the affair was ‘discovered’, Vanessa Perroncel talked with Kate Garraway of GMTV. When asked if she did have an affair with Terry, Vanessa insisted that they were “just friends”. She also said that the allegations about being paid to keep quiet were utterly false, and she “didn’t take a penny from him.” Vanessa also seems to believe that Toni Poole, Terry’s wife, believes her denials.
Whatever she did or did not do, Vanessa repeats, “there was no malicious intent.” She says that she hopes to get back together with Wayne Bridge, the father of her 3-year-old son. He was “the one”, she says, but their relationship suffered from too much absence on his part, and so far Wayne hasn’t come forward to give us his opinion on the situation.
Even though Vanessa Perroncel humiliated Wayne Bridge when she had an affair with his teammate John Terry, and potentially breaking up his marriage, Perroncel still declared that she loves Bridge and would love to get back together with him for the sake of their son who is three years old.
John Terry’s wife left Britain for Dubai after declaring to Terry that their marriage was over.
