Manchester United star Anthony Martial’s heartbroken ex-WAG hits out at striker’s ‘disgusting’ new lover
Dumped mother of footie love rat's baby slates Melanie da Cruz for chasing Martial and says she won't see the couple's child
THE heartbroken former wag of footballer Anthony Martial has blasted his new love as they were pictured together for the first time.
Samantha Jacquelinet was ditched by the £58 million ace earlier this year after he began dating French reality star Melanie Da Cruz.
Martial’s jilted former lover blasted Melanie’s behaviour as “disgusting”.
In a cruel snub to his ex, Martial and Melanie were pictured together last week laughing as they strolled through Manchester with her affectionately putting a hand on his shoulder.
Despite implying they were an item earlier this month with separate Instagram posts from the same villa in Greece, Martial and Melanie only went public yesterday by sharing a video on Snapchat.
Samantha, 23, has now accused her love-rival of targeting Martial even though he was not single.
She fumed: “I asked her to stay away from him when we were having some problems and she agreed that she would.
“But she wasn’t true to her word.
“She claims it’s not just about sex with them — it’s love.
“I will never be friends with Melanie, her behaviour has been disgusting.
“She knew all about me and Peyton.
“Melanie knew Anthony as they grew up in the same area of Paris but she was never interested when he was just a teenager who was good at football.
“Now he has money and attention she is interested.”
And she added: “I’ll never let her be a part of my little girl’s life.”
Samantha has revealed how she spent months trying to make her relationship with Martial work after The Sun on Sunday revealed in January that he had cheated on her with X Factor contestant Emily Wademan.
But she grew suspicious after he became hooked on watching French TV show Les Anges — starring Melanie — and mystery numbers started to appear on his phone.
Samantha then noticed the Red Devils forward had been trying to FaceTime Melanie during a trip away with the French national side.
Then, just days before he returned, she discovered he had blocked her number.
Samantha decided to confront Martial and then Melanie.
She said: “One day he was messaging that he was missing us both and the next he had blocked my number.
“I couldn’t work out what was going on.
“When he came home he was really cold and said I had been getting on his nerves and he didn’t want to be with me any more.
“He claimed they were just friends but when I called Melanie she said she only got into serious relationships.
“I was devastated.”
Martial used Melanie’s Snapchat account to film the pair enjoying a date, posting two short clips of her driving — a move that appeared to show their relationship was now official.
But despite his cheating ways shaking her to the core, Samantha has now formed an unlikely friendship with Emily — just months after Martial bedded her in Paris.
She reached out to the aspiring singer and model after discovering the footballer had pulled the wool over her eyes too.
Emily revealed how she flew to Paris to spend the night with Martial in January — after he convinced her he was single.
And now, since his split with Samantha in April, the two women have bonded.
Single mum Samantha puts the blame firmly on Martial and feels a connection to Emily, from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “With Emily and Anthony it was just sex but Melanie wants to be a part of his life and I can’t accept that when she knew all about me.
“I got in contact with Emily on Instagram when I liked some of her pictures and she liked mine.
“We began messaging each other as I wanted her to know that I don’t blame her for me and Anthony splitting up — the person I blame is him.
“Anthony told her we had split up — she was just living out a dream when they went to Paris.
“He is the person who cheated.
“Emily is a beautiful girl and we get on well.
“We message and call each other.
“We talk about family, I help her learn French and she helps me with English and I like her company.
“She has told me that I deserve much better than Anthony and it was never her intention to hurt me — and I believe that.”
Samantha was the last person Emily was expecting to call her, but she is delighted that the two women have now become friends and put the one-night stand behind them.
She said: “Anthony told me he and Samantha were separated when we met — and I believed him.
“I spoke to him for months and believed everything he said.
“But it wasn’t long before I figured out the truth and then obviously had no further contact with him.
“Since then I’ve been much more cautious about men who try to sweep me off my feet.
“If it sounds too good to be true it’s usually because it is.
“I’m just glad that Samantha has been able to see through his lies now too.
“I was surprised when she got in touch because I assumed she would hate me — but she has been able to see it for what it is and realised I too was duped by him.
“We’ve been able to find common ground in the lies he told us both and have been chatting on a regular basis.
“Samantha deserves better and I’ve told her so.
“The majority of footballers are all the same — they only want what they can get away with.
“Samantha is better off without him.
“She is beautiful and has a gorgeous baby to focus on now.
“I really feel for her in the way she has been treated.
“At least I was able to get out quickly.
“She has been treated terribly and I’m so sorry for my part in that.
“I never expected us to be friends but I’m so glad she doesn’t blame me.
“I think she has been really mature about the whole thing and I’m just glad she doesn’t hate me.”
