Ferrari claims the affair with Payet began in August 2023, several months after her divorce. She said the two became emotionally close, meeting every few weeks and exchanging affectionate messages.

“Our intention wasn’t to become so attached, but we got very involved,” she said. “It was never about money. In fact, the last time I went to Rio, I went by bus.”

Ferrari also said she would be stepping away from social media to focus on her peace and family.

As of publication, Dimitri Payet has not issued any public response to the allegations.

The French midfielder currently plays for Vasco da Gama in Brazil’s Série A. He previously played for West Ham United in the Premier League and Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1.

Payet has been married to his wife, Ludivine, for nearly 20 years. The couple have four children.

In 2023, Payet publicly credited his wife for encouraging his move to Brazil. “She said, ‘Go ahead. I’ll take care of everything… If I’m here today, it’s thanks to her,’” he said at the time.

The investigation remains open, with police reviewing evidence and witness testimony. No charges have been filed at this stage.
