‘I’m focusing on my children’ – Asamoah Gyan on whether he’ll marry again

Former Ghana striker, Asamoah Gyan has opened up on whether he’ll re-marry or not following the annulment of his marriage.

Gyan, a former Sunderland striker last week officially divorced his wife, Gifty Gyan.

The former Black Stars captain did not explicitly reveal his next plans but said he was currently focusing on his kids.

"The reason why we went to the court was that, I annulled the marriage and my wish has been granted because the things I unravelled were the truth,” he told Asempa FM.

"The most important thing is the children. I am very, very happy with my life, I am a family man, my children like and love me and I also love and like all of them and so that is where my focus is."

Gyan and Gifty were once in love and got married in 2013 but their relationship became damaged beyond repair, leading to a very bitter separation.

The couple’s marriage made the headlines when Gyan filed for a divorce at the Matrimonial Division of the High Court in Accra in 2018.

The former Black Stars captain was then doubting the legitimacy of his three children and therefore requested for a DNA paternity test to be carried out on each of them to ascertain the truth.

After five years of protracted dispute, the court finally ruled on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, that Gyan is the biological father of all three children of Gifty Gyan.

The court ordered Gyan to pay his ex-wife a sum of GHc25,000 every month for the welfare and upkeep of their children.

The school fees, medical bills, dental care fees, flight tickets for travel and other costs that may come with raising children, are not included in the above sum.

Gyan’s house in the UK and another four-bedroom apartment in Ghana have also been awarded to his ex-wife by the court as compensation.

A gas station owned by the retired football at Prampram and a BMW car are also among the properties awarded to Gifty as part of the court settlement.
