“It

I
am
announcing

get
separated

years

I

Both
our
children

been
going

months.
Close

been
trying

make
peace

efforts,
Lissy
and

part
ways.
The
24
year
old

going
through
a
rough
phase
since
the
beginning
of

Kerala
Strikers.
It
was
alleged

was
having
an
extra-marital
affair

denied
the
rumours
and

that
they
are
very
much
together.
The
