Most of the couple’s journey has been smooth throughout the years. The former Arsenal star reportedly met her in 2005 while they were students and connected via a mutual friend in Grenoble.

Moreover, the duo has three more children. Their sons Evan and Aaron were born in 2016 and 2018 respectively, and lately welcomed their daughter Aria in 2020. Hence, the star’s life on the grounds reflects his personal life. With such a decorated career, the player will expect his last wish of winning the Euro to be fulfilled.
