Daniella Semaan was in London with her son, Joseph, who was very fond of football. While at a Japanese restaurant, Nozomi, located in luxurious Knightsbridge, Daniella spotted the soccer star and approached him to ask for an autograph for her son.
But the day quickly overtook her son and an autograph and soon they had each other’s number and started dating soon after. Some sources, however, believe that their reunion was not so simple. They claim that there are no sons or autographs, and that Daniella Semaan simply took advantage of the star’s presence at the restaurant. She had walked past his table and left a handwritten note detailing his contact information.
Whichever version of the story was true, it seemed to have worked.
2. She had a starry wedding
Daniella Semaan’s wedding to Cesc was a star affair, strictly by invitation. To begin with, the ceremony took place in Taplow, UK at Cliveden House. This is the same hotel Meghan Markle would be staying the day before the wedding three days later.
The celebrities who took part included many of Fabregas’ former teammates. Some of them included former Chelsea captain John Terry and his wife; Barcelona FC captain Lionel Messi and his wife; Jordi Alba, Ross Barkley, Ethan Ampadu, Davide Zappacosta and a host of others.
After the ceremony, an after-party was also held in a luxury villa located in one of the Balearic Islands in Ibiza.
Daniella Semaan had already had her three children with Cesc by this time and they were all present. Her two children with Elik were also present. Her three daughters were bridesmaids at the wedding.

Just like Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed; Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively; Beyonce and Jay Z, through her marriage to Cesc Fabregas, join the ranks of celebrity couples with huge age differences.
Daniella was born in 1975 and Cesc in 1987. puts an interval of 12 years between them. While that’s a significant number, their age difference is minimal compared to many other celebrity couples who are up to 49 between them. Think Paris Dylan and Don McLean. Apparently, age is really just a number when it comes to love in the world of the rich and famous.
4. Daniella Semaan’s split in Taktouk wasn’t friendly
Semaan and Elik Taktouk did not stop in good conditions. According to Elik, he filed for divorce after learning about his affair with the footballer from a major tabloid, thanks to a photo from the publication.
The media had a busy day with their breakup as Elik and Daniella called out and blamed each other for the deterioration in their relationship.
Taktouk also said that Daniella lied to a judge about how she maintained her lifestyle. While Elik revealed that Fabregas was using his money to fund his extravagant spending, Semaan denied the allegation in front of a judge. Elik called her a gold digger and told Fabregas to be careful, because she would probably leave him for someone with more bank in the future as well.
5. Elik had to sell his house to pay Daniella’s child support.
The bitter separation was further exacerbated by the settlement process. The real estate mogul received a court order, obtained by Cesc and Daniella, for the sale of the house he shared with Semaan when they married, an order that did not sit well with him.
To make matters worse, he was offered a bid of £5.4 million from an auction company owned by Cesc. It turned out that the bid amount was much less than what Elik had put into the property. That didn’t change much, as Daniella Semaan and her new partner won the battle in court and Elik had to lay down.
He sold the property for the amount of the offer and handed over £1.4 million to Semaan. The money served as his share in the sale of the property and also as a percentage of his alimony.
