In the beautiful game, he won it all, but it when it comes to love, he's had more losers than winners.
These days Manchester United and Wales legend Ryan Giggs is more famous for his skin crawling off field exploits than the work he did on the pitch.
For years, the man who loved to parade his young children at football matches nurtured the image that he was a family man and model professional.
But bubbling beneath the surface, a different Giggs was running rampant, a Giggs who the world would learn was a serial cheater who thought nothing of multiple affairs whilst in relationships, even those involving his brother's own wife.
Now, following the news he is expecting his third child at the age of 50, MailOnline has gone through every twist and turn in the former football star's love life to reveal the full, untamed story of Wales' prodigal Romeo.

In 2010, Giggs embarked on a steamy seven month fling with Celebrity Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas

Idyllic beginnings
Although Giggsy would go on to become one of Wales' most famous love rats, early on his romantic life there were signs he would be the perfect family man.
In 2007, Giggs married childhood sweetheart Stacey Cooke at a small ceremony in Manchester's Lowry Hotel.
The pair would go on to have two children together, with the youngest Zach now a promising footballer at the age of 17.
The happy family moved into a £3million mansion in Worsley, Greater Manchester together and seemed set up for marital bliss, but there were storms on the horizon, including one gale from the most unexpected of places.
Brotherly love
Perhaps Giggs' most egregious act of cheating came when he embarked on an eight year affair with his brother Rhodri's wife behind his back.

Natasha, who has two children with Rhodri, conducted the relationship with the footballer for years, even falling pregnant by him and aborting his child just two weeks before her wedding to Rhodri in Las Vegas.
The pair first met in a nightclub in Manchester in March 2003 and Natasha spent the night with him while his then pregnant fiancée Stacey was at home.
Despite the fact that Natasha started dating Rhodri just two months later, the pair resumed their affair after a year, conducting illicit liaisons in hotel rooms and vacant properties she had access to through her job as an estate agent.
Rhodri - who shares two sons with Natasha - also said he discovered many of his footballer friends were 'at it' with his ex and even claimed one them fled a bar in Portugal instead of facing him.
Members of Ryan's family cut ties with him when the news broke, his dad saying he was 'ashamed' of his son while Rhodri, made headlines appearing on a Paddy Power advert mocking the former Manchester United man.

In April 2021, Rhodri made astonishing claims that his ex-wife Natasha had flings with 10 footballers
Discussing the he pair's first confrontation in 2011, Rhodri previously admitted that he'll still be there for his brother if he ever wants to reach out.
'Eventually he got the courage to meet me three or four weeks after,' Rhodri said. 'It was at a friend's house, he said it was about sex, it wasn't this, feeling sorry for himself basically and telling me how his contract was crap with Reebok, it was the s
