During the World Cup last month, U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan was “informed of the possibility” that a British woman was pregnant with his child.

Now, he knows the truth, and he’s off the hook.

“I will not be a dad any time soon, which is good news for me,” Donovan, 28, told E! Online at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Donovan is separated from his wife, actress Bianca Kajlich, and made news when he did not deny a report that the UK woman was carrying his baby.

GOOOOOAL! Landon Donovan is not the father!

He told Sports Illustrated at the time that if the love child was his, “I will provide the appropriate support.” Looks like a moot point now, however.

Landon Donovan has spent most of his pro career in the U.S., but played on loan for the Liverpool (UK) club Everton for several months last winter.
