LONDON, Sept 3 - The four-year marriage of French soccer star Thierry
Henry and his English wife Claire Merry was ended by a divorce court
judge in London on Monday.

Merry, a model and mother of the couple's two-year-old daughter, divorced
Henry on the uncontested grounds of his unreasonable behaviour.
She is expected to receive a sizeable settlement from the former Arsenal
striker, who newspapers say has an estimated fortune of 25 million pounds
($50.45 million).
Henry, 30, is widely reported to be earning 130,000 pounds a week at his
new club Barcelona.
Divorce lawyers have speculated that his 27-year-old ex-wife, who models
under the name Nicole Merry, could win a payout of up to 10 million
pounds.
The divorce was one of a batch granted during a one-minute hearing at the
High Court's Principal Registry.
The couple met when they starred together in a television advert for
Renault.
