The wife of professional footballer Thomas Buffel has died following a battle with cancer.
Stephanie De Buysser, who is mother to Buffel’s three-year-old twin boys, died at aged 39.
The pair, who were long term partners, only married in June last year.
Buffel revealed in December that Stephanie was battling bowel cancer.
Just before Christmas, the midfielder who played for Rangers between 2005 and 2008, said he was hopeful Stephanie would recover.
Buffel said: “We genuinely believe that things will turn out for the best one day.”
He posted a poignant tribute on Instagram, saying that Stephanie passed away last night.
