Scores of people have reacted to reports that the Accra High Court had annulled the marriage of former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan and his ex-wife Gifty.

This comes after the Matrimonial Division of the court reportedly granted the legendary Ghanaian footballer's petition to end his marriage to his now-estranged wife after he discovered that she was already married and was not divorced before their union.

Brother's claims

His brother, Baffour Gyan, has alleged that Asamoah was unaware his ex-wife was legally married before their union in 2013.

On Tuesday, October 31, it emerged the court granted Asamoah Gyan's request to annul the marriage. Gyan's ex-wife is entitled to his house in the UK, a four-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra, a gas station, and two vehicles.

Baffour also confirmed that the court ordered Asamoah Gyan to remit a GH¢25,000 monthly stipend for the upkeep of the three children Gyan birthed with his ex-wife.

YEN.com.gh contacted US-trained intimacy coach Erica Daniel about how the ex-couple can manage and protect their kids from the tension.

''[Asamoah Gyan and his wife] should have clear boundaries because they're moving into new roles as co-parents. They're no longer lovers, but they have children to raise. They should set clear limits on how they will engage to ensure the children don't feel the tension between them.

However, the former Ghanaian legendary footballer almost lost the social media narrative after it emerged that the court ordered him to give his ex-significant other specific properties: a house in the UK, a four-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra, a gas station, and two vehicles.
