M&S model Lenoir `attempted suicide after footballer Makelele dashed her hopes’

London: Marks & Spencers model Noemie Lenoir attempted suicide because footballer Claude Makelele told her that their relationship was over, it has emerged. The beauty was found unconscious in the woods outside the French soccer star’s Paris home following drugs binge.

Lenoir had cocktail of dugs and alcohol after Makelele ended her hope of reconciliation saying, they had no future together. The former couple, who have a five-year-old son, Kelyan, together, had parted ways last year. Lenoir had been dating Swiss millionaire Carl Hirschmann, but pals suggest she could never really get over Makelele, 37. “Claude and Noemie’s relationship is known in France as une histoire d’amour – a love story and a sad one. To us they are like the Beckhams, huge stars,” the Mirror quoted a pal of Makelele, as saying. The friend added: “Noemi is one of the most beautiful women in France. Claude is the love of her life. She has dated other men, but none compare to him – he’s the father of their child, after all. “He has been seeing other women, she’s known this, but there is one in particular he is very keen on and Noemie is devastated. “She has always said she wanted to marry him. But they get back together, split, then get back together again. “Now he has this new woman he has told her in no uncertain terms it’s over. She wanted to make a point with Claude that she is still in love with him, and that’s why she went to his house to attempt suicide.” Also, a close friend added: “Noemie has been spiralling into depression in recent months – she has been having a crisis about turning 30, not being married and she has a fear that she’ll always be alone. When she woke up on Sunday she was terribly depressed and carried on drinking. She decided her only option was to kill herself.” Meanwhile, Swiss millionaire Hirschmann, who is presently accused in a sex and extortion scandal in Zurich, has reportedly dumped her too. ANI
