John Terry has bought a new house yards away from Wayne Bridge - with whom he once allegedly slept with his teammate's ex-girlfriend.
Terry and Bridge were Chelsea and England teammates and friends before the married Blues captain bedded Vanessa Perroncel in 2010.
Perroncel and Bridge, who have a son together, had only been split up for weeks before the romp, which was initially made secret due to a super-injunction, happened.
It therefore makes the fact that Terry has splashed out £4.35million on a mansion which is within eye-shot of the property Bridge owns with his wife Frankie, who used to be a member pop group of the Saturdays.
Terry is currently Premier League outfit Aston Villa's assistant manager but has become a successful property developer alongside his wife Toni.
His new 18th century posh pad in Surrey boasts seven bedrooms and eight acres of woodland.
It includes a library, study, swimming pool, tennis court and stables, while still keeping its period features of a metal spiral staircase and a large ornate fireplace.
Bridge's mansion, which he purchased two years ago, is said to be similar.
A source told the Sun: “It’s going to be pretty hard for them not to bump into each other. They are literally just a few minutes walk apart. It could make an awkward meeting."
Bridge has previously spoken about the affect that the altercation with Terry had on him - who he infamously refused to shake his hand when Manchester City played Chelsea soon after.
Bridge told The Sun in 2017: “The most disappointing aspect of it all is that I’m probably more famous for not shaking someone’s hand than I am for playing football.
“I get abuse walking down the street now and I let it go in one ear and out the other. It’s a handshake after all, nothing more.
“It’s so hard for me to talk about the scenario because there would be other stuff to divulge.”
