Premier League legend David Ginola is reportedly set to become a grandfather, but his daughter claims he has expressed no interest in meeting the baby. This situation has left her feeling heartbroken, as she reveals her disappointment in her father’s lack of involvement during this significant milestone in her life. The situation highlights the strained relationship between Ginola and his daughter, raising concerns about his role as a father.
Heartbroken Joy Pinquier has expressed her fears that her unborn child may never meet her father, David Ginola, due to a devastating rift in their relationship. She shared her emotional struggle with the situation, lamenting the absence of her father during this significant time in her life and worrying about the impact it will have on her child. The estrangement has created a painful divide, leaving Pinquier to grapple with the uncertainty of her father’s involvement as a grandparent.
Joy Pinquier, 32, revealed that after breaking the news of her pregnancy to her father, David Ginola, he initially sent his congratulations. However, she claims that Ginola, 57, ceased all contact after she shared an ultrasound image in August showing she was expecting a baby girl. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, she expressed her happiness about becoming a mother but lamented, “I doubt my dad will get to know my daughter.” Joy criticized her father’s behavior, stating, “He stopped replying to my messages. The way he is treating us is not right.”
Joy Pinquier was born in 1992 following an affair between David Ginola and her mother, Joelle, before Ginola established himself as a prominent footballer. Joelle has accused Ginola of keeping their love child hidden for eight years while he rose to fame as an international star, known for both his charm and flamboyant playing style. This longstanding tension has contributed to the current rift between Joy and her father, raising questions about their relationship and Ginola’s role as a parent.
Joelle was compelled to sue David Ginola for child support after he refused to take a series of DNA tests and allegedly dismissed Joy as “an error of my youth.” After years of denying paternity, Ginola finally acknowledged Joy during an emotional meeting in 2021 in Marseille, where he hugged her and confirmed, “Yes, you are a real Ginola.” Despite his promise to stay in touch, Ginola never reconnected, leaving Joy feeling abandoned.
Now, she fears that her daughter may become the latest victim of Ginola’s betrayal, echoing the pain and disappointment she has experienced throughout her life regarding her father’s involvement.
