In from Nifemi Daniel …
Latest reports emanating from United Kingdom reveal that Nigeria and Chelsea star Mikel Obi has secretly fathered two children with two different women in England.
According to a report in the Mirror of UK, the 28-year-old Nigeria international is a dad to a four-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter after short relationships with the women.
He is now dating Russian businesswoman Olga Diyachenko.
A spokesperson of Mikel confirmed to The Sun, another UK-based newspaper, that the Nigeria midfield star is a proud father.
“This is an entirely private matter. John provides for and cares for his children. And will continue to do so. He asks that their privacy is respected,” his spokesman said.
He was said to have bought a £500,000 house in 2013 in the Home Counties for his son and mum and is keen to play a part in the boy’s life.

A source told The Sun: “John also agreed to give her tens of thousands a year in upkeep and agreed, I think, to give her a new car every three or five years.”
Mikel also financially supports his daughter who was born after the couple met at a London nightclub in 2013.
A friend of the girl’s mum added: “John has provided for her and the girl.
“She seems to have come to money since having the baby and keeping a low profile.”
