Gary Lineker has proven how amicable he is with his ex-wife Danielle Bux, as it’s revealed the former couple still jointly own their £3 million London home, six years on from their divorce.
The football presenter has been living alone in the luxury London pad ever since Danielle moved out in 2016.
To add to the mystery, according to the title deeds, the pair took out a joint mortgage with Coutts in October 2016, ten months after their divorce was finalised.

Before they took out the joint mortgage, Danielle’s friends confirmed to the Daily Mail that she had been dating entertainment lawyer Nate Greenwald since the summer of 2016.
Representatives for Gary and Danielle have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Bux and Greenwald went onto secretly marry in the summer of 2019 and live in Los Angeles with their daughter Romy, four, and Ella, from a previous relationship.
Gary and Danielle proved that their relationship falls nothing short of amicable as they spent time together in Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles last month.
The former professional footballer, 61, and his ex-wife, 42, soaked up the sunshine as they wandered the LA hotspot, which offers shopping, dining and entertainment.

Gary and Danielle tied the knot in Ravello, Italy, in September 2009. In January 2016, they announced their divorce, citing Gary not wanting more children as their reason.
The Match Of The Day long-timer has four children with his first wife Michelle Cockayne: George, 30, Harry, 28, Tobias, 26, and Angus 24.
It’s not known why the former England striker and Bux are still tied together through property, but it is known that Lineker has had his fair share of planning battles in the last decade.
Lineker and Bux married in September 2009 and purchased their joint property exactly three years later in Barnes, south west London, for £2.92 million.
A month before officially owning the home, in August 2012, Lineker put in a planning application to change the pad into a single family dwelling, which included a front, side and rear extension, which was granted in April 2013.

The renovated property now has four floors. In the basement is a dayroom/media room with a gym, study and steam room. On the ground floor is the living room and open plan kitchen diner.
The plans then show that a potential lift was to be built from the ground floor to the master bedroom, which takes up the entire first floor.
In more recent planning news, Lineker successfully applied for retrospective planning permission for six air conditioning units, which were built without the council’s approval.
He’s also set up a property company with a builder, George Constand Jr, called GCGL Properties Ltd in June 2020, which in March this year filed dormant accounts.
Lineker is still part of two so-called tax avoidance scheme companies, Inside Track 1 LLP and Inside Track 2 LLP, and has been a member of both since October 2003.
Last year, he was in a highly publicised row with HMRC over a £4.9m tax bill and whether he’s freelance or a BBC employee for tax purposes.
