Jerrmain Defoe's heartbroken girlfriend Alisha LeMay has finally spoken out to address recent pictures of the footballer kissing another woman behind her back.
The former Tottenham player was seen in public kissing wedding planner Paige Mallabourn-Edmondson outside the luxury £1,200 a night Northcote Hotel, in Lancashire - clearly oblivious to onlookers. Dressed casually in a grey track suit teamed with an oversized black quilted coat, Jermain is seen leaning into Paige as they seemingly kissed goodbye in the hotel carpark. The couple have reportedly been dating since August this year, behind the back of Alisha. The pictures emerged last weekend and come on the back of him attending a red carpet event with Alisha just days before he was seen with Paige.

Taking to social media, Alisha, who is an influencer, shared a snap of herself looking sophisticated in a black blazer teamed with a matching lace top, that showed off her washboard stomach. She captioned her post saying: "Forgive, forget, love, help, care, smile," which many assumed was in reference to the footballer being pictured with another woman.
Images of Jermain and Paige surfaced on Sunday last week but earlier this month the star was pictured arm in arm and looking loved up with Alisha at the Pride Of Britain Awards. Jermain and his latest love interest were allegedly staying at the lavish hotel on October 14 to celebrate her 29th birthday. It has also been reported that he had given her a £1,000 Cartier watch and a £2,500 Dior handbag as birthday presents.
But in a further twist to the tale, Jermain was then spotted with Alisha - six days after the pictures of him and Paige were taken, as she visited him at his £3million mansion. The sportsman started dating Alisha in January, just a few weeks after the breakdown of his marriage to Donna Tierney. The couple met in 2021 and tied the knot last year in a £200,000 ceremony surrounded by friends and family. But after just a few months they split and Jermain swiftly moved on to Alisha.

Back in March, the beauty therapist took to Instagram and shared a snap of the love note she had found, written by Alisha to Jermain. The card read: "Hard work, Happy 40th Birthday my gorgeous, i'd bake you a cake if if i knew how to use the over :) can't wait to do life with you. Love you more than selfridges, leesh xxxx." Jermain turned 40 on October 7 last year, four months after he wed Donna. A source told the Sun On Sunday: "Paige has found her soulmate in Jermain and he seems serious about them. They are really happy together." However, the status of either of Jermain's relationships remain a mystery as Alisha has been living with the star at his Hertfordshire home since May and she flew with him to a wedding in Bali last month.
