Claire Merry Leave Thiery Hendry With 10 Millions Euro....
Barcelona forward Thierry Henry has struggled for form since moving from Arsenal to Camp Nou in 2007. One of the major reasons, according to reports, has been the ongoing turmoil over his divorce from his English wife, Claire Merry.
The two met in 2001 while the Frenchman was still making a name for himself at Arsenal, shooting an advertisement for an automobile company, in which she was involved as a model. They tied the knot in 2003 and had a daughter, Tea.
However, things went belly-up and the pair agreed to part company in 2007, with their divorce now being finalised with a payoff thought to be worth in excess of €10 million.
Merry is said to have been after more of Henry's cash, but the player's lawyer argued successfully that he was a success before the union and, therefore, her claim was limited.
The Barca ace can now focus more clearly on football, one would assume, having put the matter to bed.
An insider told The Sun: "It was settled at the end of last week. Claire is delighted.
"Neither her or Thierry wanted to go back to court as they are both now moving on with their lives. She is happy with the conclusion and she said it is close to the £10 million she wanted."
