| Jeremy Doku Divorce & DNA Rumors: Here's The Truth Behind The Viral Claims |
Social media has been on fire this week with claims that Manchester City and Belgium winger Jeremy Doku has filed for divorce from his wife Shireen after a DNA test allegedly proved their newborn son Praise isn't his. But here's the real story — it's completely false.
The rumor started spreading across TikTok and X after Doku made headlines for a genuinely heartwarming reason: he briefly left Belgium's World Cup camp in the US to be by Shireen's side in London for the birth of their first child. That gesture was widely praised at the time, with fans calling it a rare show of a modern athlete putting family first.
Somewhere along the line, gossip pages twisted that story into a fake divorce/DNA scandal, and it spread fast because it played off real details — the World Cup, the birth, the baby's name Praise. But no credible outlet, official statement, or verified source has confirmed any divorce filing or paternity dispute. Doku and Shireen are still together and have shared positive moments celebrating their son since his birth.
Bottom line — don't believe everything that goes viral. Doku's story is actually one of the good ones this World Cup season, not a scandal.
