Stoke City striker Saido Berahino has been accused of fathering three children by three different women. The children were all born within a six-week period.
The ex-England under-21 international’s ex fiancee Stephania Christoforou, 27, gave birth to little Costa on May 30 in Birmingham, weighing 7lbs 7oz.
Former flame Chelsea Lovelace gave birth to Aniya Marie on July 17 in Walsall, with the tot weighing in at 6lbs 2oz.
On both birth certificates Berahino is said to be named as the father.
But The Sun claims that the former West Brom striker’s lawyers are in talks with a third woman, who claims he’s the father of a baby born just before Aniya Marie on July 15.
If that turns out to be true that he is the father, all three babies were born in a six-week period – and as he’s only scored two goals since 2016 he’s had more kids than strikes.
Berahino finally found the net for Stoke in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Huddersfield in August, before scoring in Sunday’s 3-2 defeat against Blackburn, where he also missed a penalty.
The mother of the second child cannot be named for legal reasons as she seeks a court order to include Berahino on the birth certificate.

Berahino and stunning fiancée Stephania announced their engagement last June, but she later dumped him when he tried to smuggle Chelsea Lovelace into their home.
The 26-year-old is the managing director of Nuvo Bar, a champagne and cocktail bar favoured by footballers, fashionistas and celebs.
Originally from Larnaca in Cyprus, she lives in Birmingham and has managed the family-run business for the past eight years.
At the time of the engagement, she posted on her Facebook page: “Mrs. Berahino to be….. Happiest person on the planet right now.”
Last October, the couple threw a lavish engagement party and Berahino posted a picture of Stephania on Instagram with the caption: “Our special engagement party!! I want to thank our family and friends for celebrating with us last night #alwaysandforever”
