Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier, who made some 54 appearances for England across seven years, has been spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry in Ibiza
Kieran Trippier last night set the record straight on his relationship status – confirming his marriage is over.
The Newcastle United defender, 34, spoke out on Instagram after he was spotted getting close with reality TV star Chloe Ferry. Trippier, who played 54 times for England, told fans he is moving on following the breakdown of his marriage with 36-year-old Charlotte, with whom he shares two children.
“Myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect our children. We ask the media to respect our privacy in the same way,” Trippier, who joined Newcastle from Atlético Madrid in 2022, posted on social media.
The footballer had been seen partying with Chloe, 29, at Ibiza nightclub Ushuaia last week. Pictures showed Trippier with his arm around the reality star, who has been a regular on Geordie Shore since 2015.

Video footage emerged in May last year showing Trippier lifting up blonde call centre worker Frankie Carmichael, 27, in Newcastle karaoke bar Cosy Joes. Several months later, the footballer wasn’t wearing his wedding ring in photographs taken at a train station. In May this year, the Magpies ace was also photographed with another blonde woman on a night out in Newcastle.
His estranged wife Charlotte, whom married Trippier in 2016 in Cyprus, is reportedly taking “legal advice” over their marriage. Usually one of the more private England WAGs, Charlotte previously described herself as “a princess who has found her prince.” The couple’s £3.8million family home went on sale amid rumours of a break-up last year.

Chloe, meanwhile, has never previously been married despite a three-year relationship with Sam Gowland, who was also in MTV hit Geordie Shore. They split in 2020 after Sam had left the programme, though Chloe remains as a popular character. Chloe, from Newcastle, was in Celebrity Big Brother in 2017 but was evicted after just one week.
It is unclear how she met Trippier, who has made nearly 100 appearances for Newcastle since joining in 2022 as an Eddie Howe signing. Howe had worked with the footballer previously at Burnley, where Trippier initially spent time on loan before making the switch permanent in 2012.
The pacey full-back got his first England cap in 2017 – during his time at Tottenham Hotspur – and went onto make 54 appearances for his country before retiring from international duty last summer. His sole England goal was iconic, a glorious free-kick against Croatia in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
