Love-cheat boxing champ David Haye dumped by wife and heading for divorce FIVE years after affair with X Factor wannabe

LOVE-CHEAT boxing champion David Haye is being divorced by his long-suffering wife.

Natasha, mum to the couple’s three kids,  has filed to end their eight-year marriage.

Haye’s marriage break-up comes five years after he cheated on Natasha with an X Factor wannabe.

The couple’s decree nisi, which sets a date for their divorce to be finalised, will be announced in the Central Family Court on Monday after his missus began legal proceedings this year.

Former World Heavyweight champ Haye, 34, has three children with make-up artist Natasha, whom he wed in 2008.

The reason for the divorce is not known.

Haye strayed in 2011 with former lapdancer turned TV talent show contestant Amie Buck.

And last year he was pictured in The Sun on Sunday at a London hotel with a mystery woman following after a night out.

Sources said 35-year-old Natasha initially stuck by the fighter — nicknamed The Hayemaker — but had now given up on their marriage.

One said: “Of course Natasha and David have children together, so they will always be connected through them.

“But she no longer wants to be his wife.”

Haye’s marriage first landed on the ropes when he cheated on Natasha with Amie, then 23.

In March 2011, he spent an extended weekend with her in a London hotel as she helped him get in shape for his title bout with Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko.

The former £500-a-week stripper also joined him for intensive workouts at a gym in Vauxhall.

The pair were again spotted enjoying tender moments together around the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, where 6ft 3in Haye had expected not to be recognised.

The boxer had flown in from a training camp in Miami.

Meanwhile unsuspecting Natasha was at the couple’s marital home in South East London, believing her husband was throwing himself into tough training sessions.

Before news of their liaisons broke, Haye heaped praise on Natasha’s good looks, gushing: “I don’t know where I’d be without her.

“If you saw her you’d understand why I’m not looking for anybody else.”

But revelations of his hideaway with personal trainer Amie saw Natasha pack her bags.

She moved out of the couple’s home days later, but then appeared to forgive her husband and they patched up their relationship.

And months later she was pictured giving him a kiss outside their mansion as he handed her the keys to a sporty new £106,000 Mercedes.

Haye, who began his professional career as a cruiserweight before moving up to heavyweight and winning the world title in 2009, went on to boost his profile by signing up for I’m a Celebrity in 2012.

He clinched third place after weeks of roughing it in the Aussie jungle.

Natasha opted not to fly Down Under during his stint in the hit show.

But after leaving the jungle, Haye told how he was desperate to see his family again.

Months later the couple were pictured picking up a coffee while enjoying a relaxing day out together in Miami, Florida.

But their relationship took another hit last year when we pictured Haye returning to the Park Plaza Riverbank hotel with a mystery blonde.

The pair had been seen mixing with other customers in the bar of the E&O pan-Asian restaurant in West London before heading out to a waiting private hire car.

Haye pulled up his hood before he and the woman climbed into the blue Mercedes Benz E220.

Arriving at the venue together, the pair then seemed to stage ­separate entries — with Haye ­running inside first, followed ­minutes later by the woman.

At the time Haye denied allegations of an affair.

But last year it emerged that he and Natasha, who have not been pictured together since 2013, were living apart.

And in December, Haye put the couple’s £2million marital home up for sale — fuelling speculation that their marriage was damaged beyond repair.

The sale bid came as he was preparing for his first fight in three years, which in January saw him defeat opponent Mark De Mori in a lightning 130 seconds.

But although Haye triumphed in the ring, his marriage was heading for the canvas.

The source added: “It’s no secret that David’s career has left him and Natasha spending a lot of time apart — but that is not the sole problem here.

“They have been battling problems for years and Natasha has had enough.

“She is determined to go through with the divorce and put a stop to the pain of an unhappy marriage.

“They are both now hoping for the sake of their children that their divorce is as amicable as ­possible.”

A spokeswoman for Haye declined to comment.
