Thierry Henry to divorce English wife

The footballer Thierry Henry has split with his English wife after four years of marriage.

The former Arsenal striker, 29, said he is "extremely saddened" at the breakdown of his relationship with Claire, who is also known by her modelling name Nicole Merry.

Henry recently completed a move to Barcelona and reportedly told friends: "Lots of things have changed recently and I had to get away from everything English, including my wife unfortunately.

"It's a very sad time for all of us, but you've got to know when to move on."

Henry, who is French, had been seeing Claire for two years at the time of their wedding. They were married in a lavish ceremony at Highclere Castle, Berkshire, in July 2003.

The couple met when they starred together in the television adverts for Renault Clio cars in which Henry coined his "va va voom" catchphrase and went on to have a daughter, Téa, who is now two.

But there had been claims their marriage was put under strain by Henry's £16 million transfer to Barcelona last month and that the 27-year-old Claire, who was born in Croydon, Surrey, wanted to stay in London.

Last week she failed to join her husband at the Paris wedding of his friend Tony Parker, a basketball player, to the Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria.

A statement released by the solicitors Mishcon de Reya on behalf of Henry confirmed the pair had separated. Henry is thought to have left the family home in Hampstead, north London.

The statement said: "Thierry is extremely saddened by the breakdown of his marriage. He is anxious to move on with his life and maintain the best possible relationship he can with Claire for the benefit of their daughter Téa, whom he loves very much.

"Thierry would like to stress that contrary to reports in the press, his move to Barcelona was entirely for footballing reasons.

"We would ask the media to kindly respect the privacy of both parties at this difficult time."

It added Henry would make no further comment.

Mrs Henry's '£10m divorce'

FOOTBALL legend Thierry Henry’s wife has vowed to “take him to the cleaners” in a bitter divorce battle.

Claire, 27, is demanding a massive £10MILLION from the ex-Arsenal star, who left her in June.

The stunning model has hired Fiona Shackleton, one of Britain’s top divorce lawyers, to act for her against the French international, now with Barcelona.

Henry has a £25million fortune and is on £130,000 a week with Spanish club Barca.

Ms Shackleton, of law firm Payne Hicks Beach, is also representing Sir Paul McCartney in his bitter split with Heather Mills. And she represented Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana.

Henry, 29, is being represented by Mishcon de Reya — ironically the legal firm Heather and Diana hired.

The stage is now set for a bloody divorce struggle.

English Claire, who has a two-year-old daughter Tea by Henry, was devastated when he quit on their four-year marriage.
A source close to her said last night: “She’s angry and is talking about taking him to the cleaners. She will do everything to protect her daughter’s future.”

Henry announced he was leaving ahead of his transfer to Barcelona. Claire gave up her modelling career to care for Tea and is still reeling from his walk-out.

She was dealt a further hammer blow earlier this week when she read in The Sun about her estranged husband’s close friendship with a Spanish actress.

Henry met married brunette Paz Vega, 31, while they were shooting a Reebok commercial together.

The pair posed for photos, stayed at the same hotel and visited an exclusive restaurant.

A source insisted: “They get on well but they’re just friends. He’s happily single and she’s happily married.”

But another well-placed source revealed: “Claire doesn’t really know what’s going on in Thierry’s head and it is hurtful to hear about him spending time with glamorous women.

“She still has no clue what went wrong with the marriage — she was stunned when he ended it.”

Friends of the couple say he had been acting strangely towards the end of his injury-frustrated final season at Arsenal.

One said: “Thierry would come home and just go straight to a room upstairs and lock the door.

“He’d be in there for four or five hours by himself, leaving Claire wondering what was going on. He started to shut her out.

“She was concerned about his behaviour — but it still came as a bolt out the blue when he walked out on her.”

The split came after Thierry and Claire rowed over text messages and pictures she found on his mobile phone.

Another friend of the couple said: “It was almost as if Thierry wanted it to happen.

“He blatantly left his phone lying around the house.

“One day Claire picked it up out of curiosity. She started flicking through his text messages. There were also some pictures.

“As soon as Thierry came in Claire spoke to him and they had a full-scale row.


“Thierry told Claire that he was leaving and appeared to have a couldn’t-care-less attitude. He just walked out and that was that.”

Henry went to the wedding of Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and basketball star Tony Parker in Paris — alone and without his wedding ring.

Shortly afterwards he announced his marriage was over. A source close to Claire said last night: “The hurt has now turned to anger and she wants to show Thierry that he can’t just walk out on her and Tea without facing the consequences.

“She spends every spare minute with Tea, whom she dotes on, and she wants to make sure she is well looked after.”

Claire, who still lives in the marital home in Hampstead, North London, spent yesterday afternoon enjoying the sunshine in nearby Primrose Hill.

She laughed as she got a parking ticket while treating Tea to an ice-cream. Looking stunning in a yellow summer dress and flip flops, Claire appeared relaxed as she ate an ice and chatted with two female friends.

Thierry began dating her shortly before they starred together in the Va Va Voom Renault ads.

She was then known under her model name Nicole Merry.

The couple were wed in July 2003 in a £40,000 bash at Highclere Castle, Berks.

The break-up of their marriage is the first real low point in what has been a brilliant career for Henry since Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger brought him to London in August 1999.

He had risen from a childhood in a tough Paris suburb to become part of the French World Cup winning squad the previous year.
