And since his short-lived romance, Jermain was reportedly linked to influencer Alisha, 31, just weeks after – and also made a red carpet debut in October.

They also sparked engagement rumours as Alisha sported a giant diamond on her ring finger on an outing, yet days later he was spotted kissing wedding planner Paige Mallabourn­-Edmondson, 29.

And now Alisha took to Instagram to post a message to her fans hinting at ‘everything happens for a reason’ and ‘finding better’, which was later deleted.

The post read: ‘Someday you’ll realise that everything you’ve gone through was a blessing in disguise. 

‘Things didn’t work out the way you expected them to because you were being prepared for something better, and all the restless nights wondering why everything happened to you will finally make sense.’

Alongside the quote that she reposted she commented six grey heart emojis.

It comes after Jermain is said to be spending time with two different love interests at two of his mansions amid his divorce from wife Donna.

Now Jermain has been spotted with both women at his homes, with Alisha sharing a snap in his Hertfordshire home five days after he was photographed driving Paige to his Essex abode. 

Alisha was said to have moved into his Hertfordshire home in May, while Paige was reported to have moved into his Essex home earlier this month.

While Jermain has not spoken publicly on the situation, it’s been claimed the former footballer has an ‘unusual arrangement’ ferrying himself between the two women. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Jermain likes to keep busy now he’s retired but it must be exhausting going from one mansion to another to spend time with Paige and then Alisha. Maybe he’s having a hard time trying to choose which one he wants to be with.

‘Both must know about each other and seem to be very understanding towards Jermain.’ 

On November 9, Jermain was seen enjoying a dinner date with Paige at a pub close to his home in Essex before driving her back to his home there – the mansion that he lived in with his ex-wife Donna.

On November 14, Alisha revealed she was spending time at Jermain’s Hertfordshire home as she snapped a selfie in his hallway. 

MailOnline contacted Jermain’s representatives for comment at the time.

Alisha previously shared a cryptic post last month about ‘lies’ and ‘overthinking’ after it was claimed she and Jermain had split.

She shared a snap to Instagram of a painting which read: ‘Cheer up you’re not dead yet. Hang on, let me overthink this. I won’t tell if you don’t.

It continued: ‘It’s not me, it’s you. Everybody lies. Happiness is expensive. Rags to riches. If you ever leave me, I’m coming with you.’

Alisha and Jermain’s relationship came following the breakdown of his marriage to Donna, 40, just months after their glitzy £200,000 OK! Magazine wedding last June.

Jermain first became acquainted with the Scottish beauty therapist by ‘liking’ her pictures on social media.

They met in person for the first time in January 2021 at a charity do, where she asked him for a signed shirt.

Just seven months later he got down on one knee and proposed to her at a £2,500-a-night Glasgow hotel that was decked out with light up ‘Marry Me’ letters and rose petals.

The couple then married in a £200,000 ceremony at Cliveden House in June 2022, with some of the 250 guests including Tottenham assistant first team coach Ledley King and ex West Ham player turned TalkSport pundit Carlton Cole.

Just six months later, however, the couple had split, after Jermain had been spotted posting pictures of himself without his wedding ring and with no mention of his wife.

Donna claimed only a couple of months later that the footballer cheated on her after finding a love note sent to him .

In October 2022, Jermain reportedly messaged a nurse begging for sex just one month after the lavish wedding to his wife .

He was alleged to have messaged a woman via Instagram and invited her to join him in his Range Rover.

The Sun reported that the youth academy coach began contacting the 40-year-old mother in July, having just got married the month before – though Jermain denied any wrongdoing.
