Chelsea star Pedro scores on rebound with stunning new girlfriend after divorcing teenage sweetheart Carolina Rodriguez
CHELSEA star Pedro shared a lingering kiss with his new girlfriend after as it was revealed he has got divorced from his teen sweetheart.
The Blues ace, 30, was caught in a tender moment with the stunning blonde after being declared fit to return for Saturday's Premier League game at Stoke.
The Spaniard suffered an ankle injury in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal last weekend that kept him out of Wednesday's 5-1 League Cup win over Nottingham Forest.
But he was snapped smiling as he enjoyed a stroll through sunny central London on Thursday with his new love.
The pair then shared a kiss on the lips before they went their separate ways.
Pedro married Carolina Martin Rodriguez, a Granollers-born beauty and an accountant, in June 2015 but they have now divorced.
They had been together before that for more than a decade and have a young son called Bryan.
Carolina, 29, rarely missed any of Pedro's games while he was at Barcelona and is a close friend of Cesc Fabregas’ wife Daniella Semann.
