Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle have split after six years of marriage amid claims that they disagreed over starting a family together.
The pair confirmed their divorce today, just over six years after the former footballer and actress were married in Italy in 2009, but they insist they remain on good terms.
It is believed that Danielle, 36, wanted to start a family but former footballer Lineker, 55, who already has four children, feels he is too old to father another.
The divorce is just days after they were last seen together on a night out in London, but it is claimed they have been living separate lives for over a year.
The couple, believed to worth around £20million, allegedly spent just £400 on the divorce, filling out the online forms together to get a Decree Nisi which was granted today.
Actress and model Danielle already has a 14-year-old daughter with former Coventry City player Adam Willis, but a friend told The Sun she wants another child - and Lineker does not.
The source said: 'They made a great couple but their different views on having children is what made them realise had to split.
'They both know it is the right thing to do and are looking forward to the future. They are convinced they will stay friends.'
That's a bit selfish Gary, Shouldn't get married if you are not ready to have a family. #Justsaying
