Rebekah Vardy has come under fire from her ex-husband after he accused her of cheating on him on their honeymoon.
The 40-year-old WAG has been married three times, with two failed unions before she found true love with her current husband footballer Jamie Vardy, 35.
Rebekah – who lost her libel court battle against Coleen Rooney this week – was just eighteen and working in a bar in Witney, Oxon, when she met her first husband.

Mark Godden, who was 21 at the time, played for the darts team when the pair sparked a whirlwind romance that saw them tie the knot on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in autumn 2001 spending £7000 on the event.

Mark told The Mirror how Rebekah – known as Becky Nicholson at the time – had seen a diamond engagement ring in a magazine when they were dating and allegedly demanded: “I want that. Buy it for me!”
He said: “That was how we got engaged. There was no romantic moment of me getting down on one knee and proposing.
“She liked the look of this £500 gold band with three stones and I bought it for her. All she wanted was her big day.”
Their young age didn’t stand in the way of the romance – they had already had matching tattoos of Chinese love symbols inked on them – and their parents helped to fund their nuptials where Rebekah wore a £1,000 dress and tiara.

However, things went wrong very quickly following their exchange of vows with Mark accusing Rebekah of changing once their families had jetted home – and even suggesting she had bedded another man during their honeymoon.
Mark explained: “The wedding was perfect. Becky looked beautiful and we had an amazing hotel. Family stayed two weeks but as soon as they left and we had a final week alone, Becky changed.”
Mark then recollected how an “irate woman” had woken him up at 4 am claiming that she found Rebekah in bed with a jet-ski instructor.
He added: “When I confronted her she brushed it aside saying, ‘Don’t be so stupid!’.”

Daily Star has contacted Rebekah’s representatives for comment, though she has always vehemently denied the allegations.
Regardless, the couple’s marriage only six months before Mark divorced Rebekah in 2003.
She later married businessman Steve Clarke but they divorced after 10 months.
Rebekah then had a relationship with former footballer Luke Foster, with the couple splitting in 2013. They share a son, Taylor.
