"Atsu's marital issues started after his mother-in-law moved in with them in the UK sometime in 2021. Because of the wife's heightened attention to the mother, Atsu felt lonely in the house. He occasionally finds it difficult to play with his kids because his mother-in-law ran the household," the report further stated.

That same year, Marie-Claire published her book, 'Stop Bullying Me', which tells the story of a woman going through humiliation, hurtful words, and painful acceptance.

The main character, Delilah, tries to be happy and independent, but it doesn't always happen the way she wants, and she hopes to manage her life after the breakdown and fully trust again.

From that point in 2021, Christian Atsu and his wife were reportedly separated, and she refused to interact with the former Rio Ave and Vitesse Arnhem player.
