Wes Brown has been declared bankrupt at the High Court just over a year after his secret divorce from reality TV series star Leanne Wassel.
Former England and Manchester United defender Wes Brown has been declared bankrupt at the High Court.
On February 27, the tax authority of the UK government, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) filed a bankruptcy petition against Brown, who reportedly earned £50,000-a-week during his playing days at Old Trafford.
According to a report from the Daily Mail on Thursday, April 20, a petition filed against the 43-year-old former footballer was rubber-stamped at the High Court on April 12 and listed on The Gazette, the official public record.
This comes just after over a year Brown secretly divorced his wife Leanne, 46, who appeared in the reality TV show Real Housewives of Cheshire.
They married in 2009 and had three daughters together.
Wes reportedly moved out of the home he shared with Leanne and their children Halle, Lilia, and Lola.
‘Wes and Leanne split before Christmas [2021]. There were no third parties involved; it is just a sad fact that their marriage has run its course.
‘Leanne has flourished in single life and has removed her wedding ring. She has told people she feels free and is working hard on her businesses and flourishing as an independent woman. ‘ a source told The Sun at the time.
The source added the former couple are doing their best to co-parent their children and live separate lives.
