Marcel Desailly’s Paternity Row Sparks Court Appearance
Football legend Marcel Desailly has been confirmed as the father of a 10-year-old girl named Victoria after a court-ordered paternity test, which showed a probability of paternity over 99.999%.
Victoria was born in 2014 to Cosma, a Brazilian woman who had a long-term relationship with Desailly. Despite being in a relationship with Cosma and cohabiting with her at the time, Desailly did not publicly acknowledge his daughter after her birth, as he was away from France.
However, the DNA test has now settled the dispute, confirming his paternity.
