ESPN REPORT : celtic fc coach Brendan Rodgers has been caught secretly having affair with Callum McGregor wife
According to ESPN, Celtic FC coach Brendan Rodgers has been accused of having an affair with Callum McGregor’s wife.
Rodgers was criticized on social media for calling BBC Scotland journalist Jane Lewis a ‘good girl’ after his team’s 3-1 victory over Motherwell.
The former Reading and Liverpool manager addressed to the media on Tuesday afternoon, stating that he had spoken with Lewis and that the two ‘had a laugh’ about the incident, which went viral nearly two days ago.
However, the weekend’s controversy has piqued curiosity in the generally reticent manager’s off-field life.\
Rodgers has rarely strayed into the headlines for more than his successes – or failures – in the dugout, but his most prominent spell in the media spotlight came with his 2014 separation, and ensuing legal fight, from his ex-wife Susan Rodgers.
Rodgers and his former spouse had been together for 20 years, and married for 14, when news broke of their intention to part ways. Rather than settle proceedings with amicable haste, May 2015 saw Susan take her soon-to-be ex-husband to court, seeking to claim 50 per cent of his future earnings, as well as half of an unexpected – but significant – source of wealth.
The dispute shone a light on the manager’s 102-house property empire, which he established with Susan and his business partner Judith O’Hagan.
The multi-million-pound buy-to-let portfolio was said to be so valuable that an independent assessement of its worth cost the couple £32,000.
But running the properties have not come without pitfalls, with Rodgers and O’Hagan found guilty in 2013 of ignoring an improvement notice on one of the houses in Accrington. The partners later had their conviction overturned a year later, after first being fined £400 each and being ordered to pay £375 costs.
The homes owned by Rodgers were dotted across England, from South Shields in Tyne and Wear, to Reading in Berkshire, but it is not known what the final settlement reached in December 2015 between the two parties entailed.
Both former spouses seemed keen to move beyond the ruling, with Susan thought to have relocated to Marbella over the summer of 2015 – and Rodgers waiting just 68 days after the dissolution of his marriage to propose to his now-wife Charlotte Searles.
The timeline at the start of Rodgers’ relationship with Searle is somewhat blurry, after rumours swirled in 2013 that neighbours of the former Liverpool travel co-ordinator alleged they had seen Rodgers’ Porsche parked outside Searle’s house in Stockport.
During that period, Searle was in the process of divorcing her husband of 17 months Steven Hind, who was given a restraining order against Searle in August 2014 after sending her a string of pernicious texts about Rodgers and the breakdown of their marriage.
