This is one way to purge your home of a cheating ex.

Former Premier League defender Greg Halford spent a portion of Sunday tossing his ex’s belongings out a second-story window of his home, as reported by The New York Post.

The 38-year-old Halford — who currently plays for Hashtag United of the semi-pro Isthmian League North Division — shared a video to Twitter showing a pile of boxes, including multiple Yeezy sneakers, and a bike, among other items on his front lawn.

“Been far far too long but finally clearing out the cheating c**t ex stuff,” Halford wrote in his video tweet, which has over three million views as of Monday afternoon.

Halford did not name his cheating ex.
