Dimitri Payet allegedly had affair with social media star

Dimitri Payet, a former West Ham player, is accused of cheating on his wife with a Brazilian social media influencer. Payet, who is now 37, has been playing for the Brazilian club Vasco da Gama since 2023. He has been married to his wife, Ludivine, for nearly 20 years and they have four children together. The social media star, Larissa Ferrari, claims she had a seven-month affair with Payet after he became lonely in Brazil. Ferrari, who has about 59,000 followers on Instagram, describes herself as a "lawyer & Broker in Training." In her statement, she emphasized that her involvement with Payet was not motivated by money. Ferrari shared that she and Payet grew close during their encounters, which occurred every 12 days. She noted that she only became physically involved with him after her divorce from her ex-husband. Despite the affair, Payet had previously spoken highly of his wife, crediting her for supporting his career move and caring for their children. Ferrari has expressed regret over the situation and plans to take a break from social media to find some peace.
