Asamoah Gyan shy away from re-marriage, says he wants to focus on his children

Legendary Ghanaian footballer Asamoah Gyan has shifted his attention to the well-being of his children following the successful annulment of his marriage with their mother, Gifty.

Speaking on Asempa FM in response to the Accra High Court’s judgment on October 31, 2023, Asamoah Gyan expressed his primary commitment to responsible parenting.

He also conveyed his contentment with the court’s decision, expressing his satisfaction.

“The reason why we went to court was that I annulled the marriage and my wish has been granted because the things I unravelled were the truth,” he told Asempa FM, as quoted by the Daily Graphic.

He further stated that his children were “the most important thing. I am very, very happy with my life; I am a family man; my children like and love me; and I also love and like all of them, so that is where my focus is.”

Meanwhile, Edwin Kusi Appiah, the legal counsel representing Asamoah Gyan, has revealed the specific statement that prompted Asamoah Gyan to pursue the annulment of his marriage.

During an interview with Kofi TV, Kusi Appiah disclosed that Gyan had been subjected to threats from the spouse of his now-former wife, casting doubts on the paternity of their three children.

The breaking point that led to the discord and the subsequent decision to annul the marriage was an alleged threat by Gifty Oware’s husband. The threat revolved around their eldest child, born in 2005, with the husband disputing Gyan’s paternity.

In response to this statement, Asamoah Gyan gathered evidence and initiated the annulment proceedings.

Asamoah Gyan married his wife in 2013 but had been with her since 2003. He got information that, prior to marrying her, the lady had married another man. Their marriage had three kids, with the firstborn coming in 2005. 

“Asamoah Gyan told me he was threatened by someone who said that the children, particularly the firstborn, were not his and that they belonged to him (the person issuing the threat).

Gyan was indeed the father of the children, and his happiness stemmed from his genuine love for them.

This deep affection for the children was the primary motivation behind Asamoah Gyan’s decision to pursue legal action.

Lawyer Kusi Appiah also emphasized that Gyan’s love for the children remained unwavering, and he expressed contentment with the court’s ruling.
