The British wife of French football star Thierry Henry divorced him in London's High Court on Monday, citing his ongoing "unreasonable behaviour."
British reports speculated the big-earning striker, who plays for Spanish giants Barcelona, could face the biggest ever divorce payment by a footballer following the split from model Claire Merry, his wife of four years.
The mother of their two-year-old daughter Tea is expected to be entitled to a large chunk of his wealth -- estimated at around 25 million pounds (50 million dollars, 35 million euros).
The "quickie" divorce was one of 34 decrees nisi granted in just under a minute by a judge at the Principal Registry of the High Court's Family Division.
None of the parties was present, and it will be at least six weeks before a final decree absolute will be granted.
Henry, 30, and Merry, 27, who models under the first name Nicole, met when they worked on television advertisements for a car firm.
The couple shared a plush six-bedroomed house in the well-to-do north London suburb of Hampstead, which Henry bought for 5.95 million pounds in 2002.
Merry was granted a decree nisi on the grounds of Henry's "unreasonable behaviour," court papers showed.
Details of Henry's behaviour were not specified, but Merry confirmed the activities in question were "continuing."
Asked whether his behaviour had affected her health, she replied that the question was not applicable.
Henry stated he had received the divorce petition on July 17. He confirmed he had also received a "statement of arrangements" concerning their daughter from Merry's solicitors -- but did not agree with their proposals.
Asked whether he agreed, he stated: "No. I will shortly be applying to the court for a defined contact order."
Henry announced he was splitting from Merry in June, shortly before his transfer from London's English Premier League side Arsenal to Barcelona.
A statement in July from law firm Mishcon de Reya on his behalf read: "Thierry is extremely saddened by the breakdown of his marriage.
"He is anxious to move on with his life and maintain the best possible relationship he can with Claire for the benefit of their daughter Tea, whom he loves very much.
"Thierry would like to stress that contrary to reports... his move to Barcelona was entirely for footballing reasons."
One of the world's most feared strikers, Henry won the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championships with France.
He won the French league with Monaco in 1996-97 and the English Premier League in 2001-02 and 2003-04 with Arsenal.
Henry also scooped the 2004 and 2005 European Golden Boot, awarded to the highest goalscorer.
