Ideye spent three seasons at Dynamo Kyiv between 2011 and 2014, when he was alleged to have met the estranged woman.
In December 2024, the striker denied the allegations, claiming he was being blackmailed.
Soccernet had reported that Alex claimed she dated the football star during his time in Ukraine and they had two kids together.
Alex shared photos on Instagram, branding Ideye as an absent father as she went on to tag his wife, Damika in the post. She wrote:
“@ideyebrown @damkaideye I tell you just one thing: what we do know it’s a big sin! I feel sorry for us because God is not blind and people are not stupid,” she wrote in one post,. “Shame be with you Brown and your family when all the world see the results of the DNA test.. True always open, lets the world see your real face! I don’t have say anything more, I pure for God..”
Ideye denies allegations
Ideye denied the allegation, saying he lived with his family during his two years in Ukraine and calling the claims a money-driven scheme.

He voiced his frustration, accusing those involved of trying to blackmail him with lies.
The former West Brom star, in his latest post, warned that his silence should not be taken for foolishness.
He wrote on X:
"I've said it before and I'm saying it again, I don't have a second wife or family home or abroad.
"Happily married in 2010 and God blessed my wife and I with 2 lovely boys. Don't take my silence for foolishness, period."
