Vanessa Perroncel: Wayne Bridge’s Ex and John Terry’s Scandal Victim

Previously dating soccer star Wayne Bridge, French lingerie model Vanessa Perroncel became a central figure within the vibrant world of WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends).

however, everything took a sudden turn for the worse in 2009 as rumors emerged that she was involved romantically with one of Wayne Rooney’s England teammates, John Terry. This scandal caused a massive stir throughout the sports community.

After denying the allegations, Vanessa separated from Wayne not long after, and since then has chosen to stay out of the spotlight, maintaining a quiet existence as they jointly raise their son, Jaydon, who is now 18 years old.

This week, almost two decades later since the scandal, Vanessa found herself back in the spotlight once more. The incident was sparked by rapper KSI during a press conference, where he teased Wayne with references to the affair, saying roughly: “Don’t you remember, isn’t that the man who let John Terry sleep with your former partner?

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share that I, Wayne, initially planned to engage in a boxing match with KSI. However, unexpectedly, I decided to step back from our scheduled encounter, expressing my concerns that KSI had overstepped boundaries and that it was crucial for me to prioritize the well-being of the families connected to this controversy.

It was a rare post for the model, who last posted on her grid in 2021. 

Her page features stylish self-portraits, swimsuit photos, and heartfelt dedications to her son, whom she co-parents with Wayne.

The posts feature uplifting phrases such as “Stay positive, keep your head high or else your success might slip away” and “Remember, it’s not just about what you see with your eyes, but also what you perceive with your mind…” The content encourages followers to maintain a positive outlook on life.

In November, she celebrated her son Jaydon’s birthday by posting an adorable before-and-after photo with the heartfelt message: “Many happy returns on your special day, the joy of my existence, my son, my dearest companion.

Today marks a significant milestone for you – eighteen years old! It’s hard to believe how swiftly time has passed. My affection for you is boundless and infinite. I am incredibly proud of you and feel truly privileged to have been chosen as your mother.

Wishing you an abundance of fulfillment for all your aspirations! May your journey be filled with endless adventures and joy-filled moments. Keep shining, dear friend, as you illuminate the path for others.

Wayne did not mark the milestone on social media. 

I, being deeply committed to my family, have chosen, along with my partner Frankie Bridge, to shield our son Jaydon from the spotlight. Our children Parker, aged 11, and Carter, who’s eight, have already shared their lives publicly, so we wanted to ensure Jaydon’s upbringing is as private as possible.

In response to a question during an Instagram Q&A, Frankie confessed that she is, in fact, a stepmother. She doesn’t often discuss this topic because his mother and her family are not involved in the same field of work as hers.

I prefer to maintain privacy regarding that aspect of our lives. Additionally, I haven’t embraced the label of being a step-parent. He has his own parents, and I am simply an added part of his family. Quite amusing, isn’t it?

2014 saw Wayne marry Frankie from The Saturdays, but there’s no clear information about whether Vanessa is currently in a romantic partnership.

Combined, Wayne and Frankie boast nearly two million Instagram followers.

In comparison, Vanessa has 6,501 followers – which includes WAG Rebekah Vardy. 

It’s not unexpected that she doesn’t have a significant social media following due to her choice to step back from the public spotlight.

2016 saw Vanessa once more grabbing attention as her partner Wayne participated in ‘I’m A Celebrity’, just falling short of making it to the finale.

It was claimed that she was extremely angry with Wayne because he didn’t inform her about his involvement in the program, causing him to miss son Jaydon’s 10th birthday as he stayed secluded in the Australian wilderness instead.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Vanessa was offered the jungle six years ago and refused.

‘When she text Wayne to ask him if it was true or not he told her to ignore the gossip

It seems like the barriers might be lifted soon, as she’s been turning down numerous performances and talk shows up until now. However, it looks like that trend may be shifting.

Regardless of any changes, Vanessa consistently lived her life, keeping it free from the spotlight of paparazzi and reality television appearances.

That year, she managed to grab headlines momentarily after being rumored to be associated with Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini for a short while.

As a devoted admirer, I found the narrative gaining momentum due to my high-profile union with Cheryl, Vanessa’s dear friend. Regrettably, our marital bond ended the previous year following a brief 18-month span together.

During Ashley Cole’s marriage to Chelsea soccer star, Chelsea, Vanessa and Cheryl forged a strong friendship. In fact, they spent vacations together, enjoying the beauty of the French Riviera.

According to a source, they are quite near, although it’s still relatively early, there appears to be a definite connection.

‘No doubt it will come as a surprise to Cheryl to learn the romance is with someone she knows.

‘I don’t think she and Vanessa stayed friends but at one stage they were quite close.’

It is mentioned that Vanessa and Jean-Bernard shared many similarities since the attractive brunette was raised not far from the residence of the successful French nightclub owner in Aix-en-Provence.

Neither party commented on the claims and the rumours soon fizzled out. 

In 2010, Vanessa finally broke her silence regarding the rumors of her relationship with John, which she had initially declined to address for several months. She decided to speak up once the dust had settled on the controversial incident and reveal her perspective on the matter.

In an interview with The Observer, she declined any payment for her speech, strongly denying accusations that she was motivated by money (gold digging), clarifying that her primary intention was to make sure her son understood her perspective in the public domain.

Vanessa vehemently refuted all rumors of an affair, maintaining that her relationship with John was strictly platonic and that he merely provided emotional support following her separation from Wayne.

‘It was based on good intentions, she claimed. ‘It was a friendship.’ 

It was evident that the general sentiment suggested a degree of doubt about her claim that there was no sexual aspect to their relationship.

Despite his doubts, Vanessa admitted, “One might expect, don’t you think, that someone deeply loved would understand them better… I loved him deeply. I continue to do so.

One point that made people question Vanessa’s denial was the fact that John engaged in a legal struggle to obtain a severe restraining order, aiming to conceal their romantic involvement.

In an unexpected turn of events, the judge rejected his plea, stating that the footballer must face the ramifications of the recent news himself.

The judge refused his petition and warned the footballer that he would have to confront the repercussions of the latest developments on his own.

In wondering about why John sought a press gagging order when he supposedly had nothing to conceal, Vanessa pondered: ‘It’s a mystery! Nobody consulted me on whether or not I believed it was an appropriate action.’

If they had chosen to do it, I would have expressed my disapproval. Once it gets published, they can face a lawsuit. It seems they might have been concerned about potential unfavorable publicity concerning John Terry.

Instead, Vanessa asserted that the court order was what ultimately exposed the affair.

In a recent conversation with The Mail On Sunday, I shared that my former partner reached out to me following the court ruling. He called me over the weekend, launching into a heated tirade, alleging that I had been unfaithful.

‘It was terrible. He was saying horrible things.’

She said she told Wayne that she wasn’t having an affair ‘but he wouldn’t believe me’.

Vanessa noted that Wayne believed she was unfaithful due to the legal action, which was a heart-wrenching conversation and left him enraged.

I’m quite friendly with John. While we may not chat every day, we keep in regular contact. I’ve been acquainted with him for eight years now, and our friendship predates that of Wayne.

He visited my home, and I’m not only acquainted with him but also with his wife Toni. We spoke over the phone last weekend to plan an outing together… It’s a tight-knit community of football players and their spouses here. As a single mother, I have a young son to consider.

In 2006, Toni and Vanessa forged a strong friendship, and they took a women’s retreat trip the year prior to the alleged affair being reported.

It’s said they had a massive argument after the allegations, which led to a loud verbal confrontation over the phone.

According to the source, it was a heated argument over the phone between the two individuals. Both parties were using harsh language, but Vanessa flat-out denied having an affair.

According to another source, Toni reportedly told Vanessa, “Don’t you consider yourself a friend? Isn’t it strange for a friend to sleep with her friend’s spouse?

John previously admitted to being unfaithful to Toni before they married. 

In 2005, two years prior to their wedding, he admitted: ‘I’ve acted improperly by sleeping with other women without her knowledge. I promise never to be unfaithful again and I deeply desire to marry her above all else.’

Currently, the previous Chelsea team captain and England representative, John, is serving as a coach within Chelsea’s academy. It appears that his friendship with Wayne has yet to be reconciled.

Initially, the scandal seemed to have ended their friendship abruptly. However, it appeared as though both individuals had left the past drama behind them – until KSI revisited the issue.

In the boxing ring with Wayne, KSI remarked: “Don’t you happen to be the one who allowed John Terry to break up with your girlfriend?” To which Wayne responded: “Are you eager to bring that up so quickly?

KSI stated with confidence, ‘That seems to be your claim to fame,’ and then incited the audience into a cheer, echoing ‘Vanessa, yes, Vanessa, yes’ repeatedly.

KSI went on to incorporate explicit language into his song lyrics, which explicitly mentioned the previous partner of John and Wayne.

Following the events, Wayne declared on a Monday that he was withdrawing from the match, explaining that he wants to safeguard his family from such remarks and intends to find another boxing opportunity at a later time.

I believe many of you caught the events that transpired during the Misfits Boxing match on Saturday night.

To begin with, let me clarify why I agreed to this fight. I enjoy testing my limits, and this seemed like a great chance to face off against an intriguing adversary in a grand setting.

For years now, boxing has been an integral part of my daily exercise regimen that I truly cherish. Preparation for this activity was thorough, both mentally and physically, with a good measure of excitement thrown in. While I acknowledge the occasional criticism, the remarks made on Saturday seemed to overstep some boundaries.

These remarks touch on very private matters affecting me and other families caught up in this situation. As a devoted family man, my top concern is ensuring their safety and well-being.

In simple terms, ‘My adversary is a figure greatly admired by numerous children, even mine. I fervently wish that one day he might reconsider our past encounters differently. Personally, I prefer to steer clear of these interactions. Effective March 29, I will no longer engage in further exchanges.’

I’m continuing my search for my next major undertaking, and there are some thrilling projects lined up for 2025. Thank you so much for your kindness. The encouragement I’ve received is truly astounding.

I feel it’s important to let my loved ones know how valuable they are to me. Deep inside, I believe this is the right action.
