A court in Accra delivered its judgement on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, that former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is the biological father of the three children of Gifty Gyan.
It is worth noting that in 2018, Asamoah Gyan publicly disclosed his financial challenges, citing bankruptcy.
The situation further complicated matters, as Gyan reportedly ceased communication with his wife, Gifty, and their three children since August. Phone calls from the family have gone unanswered.
Amidst these developments, Asamoah Gyan is said to have expressed his intention to seek an annulment of his marriage to Gifty and a test to be conducted on their three kids to ascertain paternity
The former couple’s case which has been in court for the last three years sparked a conversation due to the fame of the former Sunderland and Al Ain player who is Africa’s leading scorer at a FIFA World Cup tournament.
While delivering the verdict, the court charged Asamoah Gyan to pay his ex-wife Gifty Gyan a sum of twenty-five thousand Ghana Cedis (GHc25,000) every month for the welfare and upkeep of their three children.
This amount excluded school fees for the three children, medical and dental care fees, and flight tickets for travel among other costs that may come with raising children.
Asamoah Gyan’s house in the UK has also been given to Gifty plus another four-bedroom house in Ghana.
One of Asamoah Gyan’s businesses, a gas station at Prampram has been handed over to Gifty with a BMW car owned by the Black Stars leading going to his former partner.
The divorce settlement details, when made public got a reaction from Asamoah Gyan.
Following a post on Ameyaw Debrah, Gyan replied to the post on his X (formerly Twitter) page with over one million followers:
“If I have 10pts and I keep quiet cos I’m matured, and you have 2 pts and you going find public sympathy, then it’s cool. You are very funny. This is deep so think about it”.
