An Accra court handling the case involving Asamoah Gyan and his ex-wife Gifty Gyan has ruled in favor of the ex-wife, confirming that the three children between the former couple belong to Asamoah Gyan. The court has also awarded substantial costs in favor of Gifty Gyan.
This decision comes after a lengthy three-year legal battle during which Asamoah Gyan denied being the father of their three children and sought to annul their marriage. However, on October 31, 2023, the court ruled that the three children indeed belong to Asamoah Gyan.
As part of the court’s ruling, Asamoah Gyan has been ordered to pay Gifty Gyan GHS25,000 per month for the upkeep of the three children, excluding school fees, medical and dental care, flight tickets, and other child care expenses.
Furthermore, the court has awarded several properties to Gifty Gyan, including Asamoah Gyan’s mansion in the United Kingdom, a 4-bedroom house located at Spintex in Accra, and two luxury vehicles (a BMW and an Infiniti) owned by the football star. Additionally, a parcel of executive land acquired by Asamoah Gyan for a filling station has been awarded to Gifty Gyan.
Regarding the marriage between the two, the court annulled the marriage based on a technicality presented by Asamoah Gyan’s lawyers. They argued that Gifty Gyan was already married to someone else before marrying Asamoah Gyan, rendering her marriage to Asamoah Gyan null and void.
The court’s ruling acknowledged that, at the time of the supposed “first marriage” by Gifty Gyan, she was clearly a minor and couldn’t legally enter into a marriage. Nevertheless, the court annulled the marriage between Asamoah Gyan and Gifty Gyan while confirming that the children, whose paternity was disputed by Asamoah Gyan, are indeed his, as confirmed by court-sanctioned DNA tests. Asamoah Gyan’s claims of infidelity were dismissed by the court.
