After seven years together they announced they were going their separate ways due to Gary not wanting any more children It might change, but you know, I love women's company. I've got a lot of friends that I go out to dinner with.Gary's first wife Michelle, with whom he shares his four sons, George, 34, Harry, 32, Tobias, 30, and Angus, 28, filed for divorce in 2006. Call me evil.. but I'm exposing Serena Williams Hi. I'm columnist Liz Jones, and if no one else is willing to admit the sleazy truth about Serena Williams's sudden return to tennis, I will. The American is set to make her much-hyped return to professional tennis today.But her return is undignified - and the worst possible example for girls. I hope she crashes out. The former couple met when he was an 18-year-old rising star for Leicester City.During their union, Gary and Michelle enjoyed huge highs, as the footballer became one of the world's top strikers - earning a pay packet to match, but also faced deep lows, including when the couple's firstborn son, George, battled leukaemia at just eight weeks' old and was given a survival rate of just 10 to 20 per cent. George spent the next seven months receiving chemotherapy treatment.It saved his life but it was several years before he was given the all clear. Reflecting on the really, really brutal time, Gary, who was playing for Tottenham at the time, admitted: It was so tough. Michelle spent seven months in the hospital. Didn't leave it, except when we popped out for dinner some nights.I was there all in the daytime. There wasn't enough space for us both to sleep there anyway. I didn't play for about three or four weeks, but actually when I went back to training, football was so helpful for me then. It was in the middle of the season.They gave a leave of absence... I didn't play for a few weeks and then I went back to training. And actually, do you know what, football at that point was the only time that I didn't think about it. And I could switch off a little bit and I got back playing again a few weeks later.But, you know, back to the hospital all day and it was incredibly tough. But whilst there was always a little bit of hope, you sort of clung to that. You know, Georgie's now 34, incredibly healthy and well, amazing... He's in good health.He's a fitness machine. Works out every day. He's doing really well. And he's got a lovely sense of humour about the whole thing.Gary's first wife Michelle, with whom he shares his four sons, George, 34, Harry, 32, Tobias, 30, and Angus, 28, filed for divorce in 2006 After his first divorce Gary went on to marry Welsh actress and model Danielle at a ceremony in Italy in 2009.
