Jermain Defoe's heartbroken ex Donna Tierney has claimed she knew he had an affair after she discovered a romantic card from another woman.
The footballer's estranged wife, 40, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a picture of the birthday card she claims was sent by his alleged lover Alisha LeMay.
Jermain - who married Donna in June last year but reportedly split up with her just six months later - has been linked to the 31-year-old model since January but denies any involvement with her.
In January, he said he was surprised that news of him leaving the model's house was known.
"How is that possible? If Jay-Z was in Chigwell…how would you know?" he denied at the time.

"Love you more than selfridges, leesh xxxx."

Donna shared screenshots of the 'tormenting' (donna_tierney/Instagram)"This is the card she sent to my husband a married man who I just married - marriage is meant to be doing life with someone."
Donna said the alleged affair is "no woman's fault" but criticised model Alisha for "tormenting her" with games since August last year.
The alleged torments include social media posts of Alisa reportedly wearing the tracksuit Jermain wears to train Spurs academy players.
Other posts included lyrics to Stormzy's I Got My Smile Back and Lie About Us by Avant.

Donna and Jermain married in Berkshire (Daily Record)Jermain tied the knot with Donna in a fairytale wedding in June last year, with photos from their special day giving a glimpse inside the event.
The former footballer, 40, and the beauty therapist got married at the charming country house Cliveden House in Berkshire, with more than 300 guests in attendance.
Jermain and Donna - who got engaged in the summer of 2021 - enjoyed a three-day celebration of their union at the venue.
Meanwhile, in December last year, rumours started circulating that the two split after they spent Christmas apart.
Jermain was in St Lucia while Donna stayed in Glasgow with her family.
He was also pictured without his wedding ring in snaps on social media and Donna reverted to her maiden name Tierney across her own social media accounts.
Mirror have contacted Jermain and Alisha's representatives for comment.
