Melissa Satta regrets sex confession about husband Kevin-Prince Boateng

The wife of ex-Tottenham star Kevin-Prince Boateng has revealed her regrets at lifting the lid on their sex life.

Melissa Satta caused uproar when she said the midfielder, then with Italian club AC Milan, got injured so often because they had sex up to 10 times a week, The Sun reports.

Boateng and the Italian TV presenter Melissa met in 2011 and wed four years ago. They have a six-year-old son, Maddox, and are expecting a second child.

In 2012 Satta said: "The reason Kevin is injured so often is because we have sex seven to 10 times a week.

"I hate foreplay, I want to go straight for it. “

The comments have since followed Boateng, 33, through his nomadic career.

He moved on to German side Schalke, rejoined AC Milan then had spells with Las Palmas, Eintracht Frankfurt, Sassuolo, Barcelona and Fiorentina.

The Ghana international is currently on loan to Turkish club Besiktas.

A rueful Satta, 33, has now told Gazzetta dello Sport she made a mistake in revealing the couple's bedroom antics.

She said: "You can't believe what a whirlwind I ended up in.

"You have to be very careful about what you say in football, especially when it comes to sex.

"Just because we have sex so often doesn't make me a nymphomaniac."

Boateng failed to score in 24 appearances for Premier League side Tottenham following his $10.4 million move from hometown club Hertha Berlin in 2007.
