Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel shares cryptic post after her affair with John Terry resurfaces
The former girlfriend of retired footballer Wayne Bridge has returned to social media after cruel jokes about her affair with John Terry led to chaotic scenes at a Misfits Boxing event on Saturday evening.
Ex-England international Bridge, who retired from professional football in 2014, was due to face YouTuber KSI in a boxing match on March 29.
But a heated face-to-face meeting last weekend prompted the 44-year-old sportsman to pull out after the influencer’s trash talk included pointed references to ex-girlfriend Perroncel’s affair with his married former Chelsea and England teammate Terry.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday morning, the French model – who shares son Jayden, 18, with Bridge – referenced KSI’s comments in her latest post.
Perroncel, 49, shared a quote with followers: “The smallest minds often have the biggest mouths.”
The post came after social media sensation KSI made a joke to Bridge after Misfits Boxing 20 on Saturday night about his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with Terry.

During an in-ring confrontation with Bridge, KSI said, “Aren’t you the guy who made John Terry beat up your ex?” Bridge replied, “You want to go there right away, don’t you?”
“I’m pretty sure that’s what you’re known for,” KSI added, before riling up the crowd and starting a chant that read, “Vanessa woah, Vanessa woah,” referring to Bridges’ ex-girlfriend.
KSI went on to add X-rated words to his chant that directly referenced Terry and Bridge’s former partner.
Bridge has now announced that he wants to protect his family from such comments and will later seek a new challenge in the ring.
He wrote in a statement on Monday: “I’m sure many of you saw what happened Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.
‘First of all, I think it is important that I explain why I accept the fight. I always like to challenge myself. This felt like a good opportunity to compete against an interesting opponent on a big stage.
‘I have always loved boxing as part of my daily training routine. I was fully prepared to train hard and have fun. Of course I expected some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line.
“These are very personal comments that impact mine and other families involved in the situation. I am a family man first and my priority is to protect them.

Frankie Bridge, 36, shared a tearful selfie on Instagram to mark her ‘Blue Monday’ just hours after husband Wayne dramatically pulled out of his fight with KSI

The former Chelsea defender, 44, who has been married to Loose Women panelist since 2014, quit after the boxer’s joke about his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with John Terry.

KSI asked Wayne during the confrontation, “Aren’t you the guy who had John Terry beat up your ex?”
‘My opponent is someone that many children look up to, including my children. I hope he will look back on this differently one day. Personally, I don’t want to be involved in these exchanges. On March 29th I will no longer fight.
‘I’m still looking forward to my next big challenge and have some exciting things in store for 2025. Thanks for all the love. The support was overwhelming.
‘I want my friends and family to know how special they are. Deep down I know this is the right thing to do.”
Wayne’s wife Frankie Bridge had previously shared a tearful selfie on Instagram to mark her ‘Blue Monday’, just hours after husband Wayne dramatically pulled out of his fight with KSI.
Frankie, who has been open about her struggles with depression, posted the heartbreaking photo as she stared into the camera before sharing photos to remind herself how hard she has been working on her health.
The Saturday singer put on workout clothes, went to the gym, also did yoga and wore Kind Patches that absorb nutrients through the skin.
Frankie, who shares sons Parker, nine, and Carter, seven, with her husband, later returned to her Stories as she started to sweat during her workout.
The stunner admitted she did everything she could to avoid the exercise, but felt great after completing it.
She captioned the post: “Today is Blue Monday so I’m reminding myself of everything I’ve been working on.”

Bridge’s relationship with Perroncel broke down over allegations that she had an affair with former Blues and England captain Terry, who was Bridge’s teammate at the time.
Terry and Bridge were later grilled about the situation by rival supporters and the pair are no longer friends due to the incident.

Bridge has fought before, beating Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews in a charity match seven years ago.
He hung up his boots in 2014 after a career that saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup with Chelsea.
Bridge also played for Southampton, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and Brighton and picked up 36 England caps. Those who know him say he is still in top condition.
