Former French national team footballer, currently playing for Brazil's Vasco da Gama, Dimitri Payet has found himself at the center of a scandal. Brazilian lawyer Larissa Ferrari revealed on social media that she had been in a relationship with Payet for 7 months.
"Initially, we didn't plan to get so involved, but in the end, we did. We grew close because I was divorced, and he often felt lonely too. Our meetings became more frequent. Every 12 days, I would visit Dimitri at his home, staying for three to four days," Ferrari shared.
The most scandalous aspect of this story is that Payet has a wife, Ludivine, with whom he has been in a relationship for almost 20 years. The couple has four children together.
After Dimitri's move to Brazil, Ludivine stayed in France with the children, only visiting her husband in Brazil for short periods. It seems that, left alone in a foreign country on another continent, Payet felt lonely and got involved with the young woman.
It is not yet known how Payet's wife has reacted to this information; he himself has also not commented on the situation.
