"I really fell for Mario – against my better judgment. He told me he wanted us to settle down and have a family."

Despite the breakup, Brown found love again five years later with Chelsea ace Sterling.

At the time, the two were said to have been spotted at a swanky Manchester hotel when the former Manchester City star pulled up in a blacked-out car before heading into the hotel.
