Who is Jermaine Jenas’ wife Ellie Penfold?
It is not known how Jermaine and Ellie first met – but the footballer admitted it was not love at first sight for her.
During a chat with the Belfast Telegraph , he revealed that she did not like his flash Ferrari.
He said: “She actually made me get rid of the car because it was too noisy! She’s told me she thought when we first met that I was a bit of an over-confident idiot, but I won her over finally.”
He added: “She’s been a rock keeping the family going through tough times.”
Ellie enjoys remaining as anonymous as possible, keeping her social media profile private — though she does occasionally appear on Jermaine’s Instagram profile.

What’s her net worth?
While it is currently unknown how much Ellie is worth, we can assume she has amassed enough via her career as a model.
Married to Jermaine, she will also share some degree of financial responsibility with him.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is reportedly worth £2m, when you factor in his earnings from both his playing days and media career.
