David Ginola's ex
Complex overlapping bureaucracy sometimes lacks the funds and skills to do it right
Footballer David Ginola’s model ex-wife has been sued by divorce lawyers after she failed to settle her bill, a court heard.
Farrer and Co, which also represents the Royal family, has attempted to recover £174,071 from Coraline Ginola in unpaid fees from her costly divorce from the French star.
The couple married in 1991 and raised two children while her ex-husband followed his career, which included spells at Tottenham, Newcastle, Paris St-Germain and France.
He won the League Cup with Spurs in 1999 and clocked up 17 international caps, before a new career as a pundit and actor, as well as appearing on 2021’s “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”.
The couple split in 2016 after 25 years of marriage, with Farrer and Co representing her during a divorce which was settled in France in 2020.
She is believed to have secured the family’s mansion on the French Riviera as part of the settlement package, which was just one of three plush properties the couple owned.
