A Newcastle footballer Papiss Cisse has reportedly left his English on-off girlfriend heartbroken after telling her he was going on holiday only to marry a volleyball player three days later.
Rachelle Graham, 24, a beauty queen and former Miss Newcastle, says last week she said goodbye to the Senegalese striker, 30, believing he was off to spend a month in his homeland.
But after he failed to return her texts she became worried and went online, only to find a picture of her love's wedding to sportswoman Diallo Awa, 29, at a yacht club outside Paris.
More photos of the smiling couple's wedding in Paris have since surfaced, with friends saying they suspect his religion and family prevented the two from having a future together.
They had broken up last year after trolls abused them because it was a mixed race relationship, but Miss Graham claimed recently they had started seeing each other more regularly again.
She even did a charity skydive to raise money for a community ambulance in the striker's native Senegal.
Miss Graham told The Sun: 'I'm hurt and disgusted to learn Papiss has got married without me knowing after we spent so much time together recently.
'But it's his life and if this is what he has chosen to do there is nothing much I can do about it. I just wish he had the decency to tell me first.'
Last night a friend of Cisse said the footballer had not been in a relationship with Miss Graham since the pair split last year.
He said: 'Papiss was not seeing that girl, despite what she says. They may have met socially on occasion since their split but they were not in a romantic relationship together anymore and haven't been for some time.'
His agent Madou Diene was not available for comment last night.
