Jermaine Jenas has poked fun at his former wife Ellie Penfold after their son took a Chelsea shirt to school for show and tell

The former footballer, a committed Nottingham Forest supporter, jokingly suggested the blue kit had turned their friendly co-parenting into a football rivalry

Jenas shared the moment on Instagram, making clear there was no genuine ill feeling between them

The couple separated in 2025 after 16 years together and continue to co-parent their four children

The split followed Jenas’s departure from the BBC amid allegations concerning inappropriate messages to female colleagues.
