PREMIER League ace Phil Jagielka has split from his wife of ten years after striking up a close friendship with an Aussie model.
The break-up came because wife Emily has “had enough” of Phil, who won 40 caps for England, a source said.
The , 36, has been spending time with 25-year-old Holly Young, who dated sprint star Usain Bolt for a year in 2017 and recently boasted about a £10,000 boob job.
The source said: “It looks like a permanent split.
“Emily has supported him throughout all the ups and downs of his career and can’t believe this has happened.
“Everything that they had has now come crashing down and there doesn’t seem to be a way back.
“He moved out and she’s had enough of it all so there’s no way back for them. He moved in with his parents for a few weeks but now he’s got his own place.”
‘NO WAY BACK FOR THEN’
Dad-of-two Phil left the £3million family home in Knutsford, Cheshire, at the end of last season after Emily, 39, confronted him, a pal has revealed.
Phil, a close mate of Wayne Rooney, left Everton on a free transfer this summer after 12 years — six of them as captain.
He now plays for his first club, newly promoted Sheffield United.
Instagram star Holly, from Perth, moved into a luxury rented flat in Manchester city centre last October.
She has bragged about a mystery boyfriend who showered her with gifts and whisked her on romantic trips to the Swiss Alps resort of Gstaad, Budapest and Paris.
And she told a newspaper: “It was date night and he surprised me with a chopper which landed in the Lake District. We landed at a private residence and spent the weekend together.”
HOLLY’S MYSTERY MAN
Holly revealed she first started dating a footballer after meeting at an event in London.
She said: “He actually called the company I was working for at the time to ask for my details to invite me to Fashion Week.”
Australian newspapers speculated she was dating a Manchester United player after she posted selfies at Old Trafford.
But a source told The Sun on Sunday: “Holly was happy for people to assume she was dating a United footballer but that seems to be a cover story.
“She has been treated to an amazing lifestyle that any woman would love — being sent flowers, given romantic weekends and surprise treats like new handbags.”
One Instagram snap shows Holly standing next to a Range Rover outside footballer-haunt Victors restaurant in the Cheshire village of Hale where Phil is staying.
This week, she posted a photo of herself with a pal at Rosso restaurant in Manchester.
Wannabe TV presenter Holly told in April how she had surgery to take her boobs from a B cup to a DD as they were “not quite symmetrical”.
She added: “One of my favourite songs was playing as I went under so that put me in quite a good state. And then I woke up and I had a brand new set of boobs.”
SHOCK TO EMILY
Phil’s friendship with Holly came as a shock to Emily, who has spent the past decade bringing up their children and building up a holiday home company.
They started dating in 2006 and married three years later.
Emily was pictured alongside fellow England Wags including Coleen Rooney and Joe Hart’s wife Kimberley Crew as they cheered on their fellas on at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
In September 2009 the couple were left terrified when three men burst into their home.
Phil should have been playing in Hull but injury had ruled him out so he had invited three friends to his home to watch the game on TV.
So-called away day robbers have targeted the homes of dozens of Premier League stars when they are out of town.
Phil said: “Suddenly there was a couple of bangs at the door. I thought it was the missus coming home from her college course.
“Three young men dressed all in black and with balaclavas were in my dining room. One threatened me with some kind of object while another went into the kitchen to get a couple of knives.”
The victims were forced to hand over cash, watches and jewellery before Phil was ordered to open a safe at knifepoint.
He recalled: “Time just stood still. He was behind me with a big knife and told me to open the safe.
“It was quite surreal, and more disturbing afterwards than at the time.”
The robbers fled in his Range Rover, which was later found abandoned.
