Everything About Kobbie Mainoo’s Family- Girlfriend, Parents, Siblings & More

The shining light in an otherwise normal season for Manchester United is Kobbie Mainoo. Having already earned comparisons with the iconic Clarence Seedorf, the midfield technician made his Premier League debut in November 2023. Unsurprisingly, he won the MOTM in that game and there has been no looking back since. Now, Mainoo has earned a call-up to Euro 2024 and is dominating the headlines. Yet, little is known regarding his life off the pitch.

Despite his swagger with the ball, Mainoo is a humble, laid-back personality off it. The biggest contributor to his meteoric rise has been his close-knit family. Who are these unsung heroes behind one of the biggest sporting talents in the country? Let’s find out below.

From Ghana to England: The story of Kobbie Mainoo’s family

Kobbie Mainoo’s dad Felix was not only a supportive father but also aided in his son’s early development as a player. He ensured that his son received the best training and without his efforts, Mainoo might not have made it to the United Academy. It was in England that Felix met Abena Herold, Kobbie’s mother. Like Felix, Abena had too migrated from Ghana.

In England, Abena and Felix grew close and eventually married. The couple welcomed two daughters, Ama and Elfia, and a son before giving birth to Kobbie. Efia currently runs a business in Manchester while Ama studied Sports Business management.

Although Abena and Felix have divorced, they continue to be united in offering support for their superstar son. Moreover, nothing is confirmed regarding the English starlet’s relationship status. But at 19, the midfield sensation has his whole life ahead of him.

Interestingly, Kobbie Mainoo might not even be the famous person in his household! His brother Jordan Mainoo-Hames is a celebrity in his own right.

Meet Jordan James, Kobbie’s celebrity brother who appeared in Love Island!

Jordan Mainoo James is a household name in the fashion industry after achieving success as a model. He has already collaborated with famous brands like Vogue, Louis Vuitton, and more. However, before his stint as a fashion model, Jordan was a talented soccer player in his own right. In fact, he was at clubs like Manchester City and Rochdale! Unfortunately, a series of injuries cut short his soccer career. As a result, he changed his path and achieved quite a bit of success.

Notably, Kobbie Mainoo’s brother appeared on the hit UK show Love Island in 2019. He established a romantic connection with Anna Vakili but his time on the show was limited as he was eliminated via public vote. His brother has earned Kobbie the nickname of ‘Love Island’ at his club. Although Jordan’s soccer career ended in regret, seeing his little brother’s success would have been a proud moment for him.
