The couple have asked the media to respect their privacy following recent day’s allegations about the England striker’s private life.
“[The] last six days have been extremely painful for us and for our families,” the statement read.
“It is impossible for us, as it would be for any family, to attempt to resolve any issues in the current media glare and against the backdrop of so many inaccurate and intrusive stories.
“We would therefore ask that the media now respects our privacy and the right of our family to discuss these matters in private.”
