Sonny Bill Williams has revealed why he and his wife of eight years decided to get married despite not being in love.
As revealed by Williams in his autobiography You Can't Stop The Sun From Shining, he and his wife got married just four weeks after meeting, admitting the couple were not in love when they tied the knot.
The dual-code international was renowned as a womaniser in his younger days, claiming he "was a slave to my lusts and desires" before converting to Islam, which helped turn his life around.
Williams met Alana Raffie at a retail shop she was working at in 2013, but she was initially reluctant to give the football star her phone number.
A couple of weeks later, the pair went on a chaperoned date accompanied by her cousin and cousin's husband.
