M&S model Noemie Lenoir 'attempted suicide after footballer Claude Makelele told her their relationship was over'

Troubled Noemie Lenoir attempted suicide after footballer Claude Makelele dashed her hopes of a ­reconciliation, telling her: “C’est fini.”

Friends say the Marks & Spencer model, 30, downed a cocktail of drugs and alcohol at the former Chelsea player’s Paris home after he said they had no future together.

According to sources, French actress Noemie has had difficulty moving on from Claude since they split last year. They share the care of their five-year-old son, Kelyan.

She had been dating Swiss millionaire Carl Hirschmann, but friends say Claude, 37, is “the love of her life” and she has struggled to come to terms with his latest romance.

Reports suggest her fragile state of mind was not helped when Hirschmann, 29 – who is embroiled in a sex and extortion scandal in Zurich – dumped her on Saturday.

A friend of Makelele’s said: “Claude and Noemie’s relationship is known in France as une histoire d’amour – a love story and a sad one. To us they are like the Beckhams, huge stars. Noemi is one of the most beautiful women in France. Claude is the love of her life. She has dated other men, but none compare to him – he’s the father of their child, after all.
