Aymeric Laporte and Botello have been dating since the footballer’s early days in Bilbao. The Spanish international, reportedly, arrived in the city in 2011 and it was Botello’s parents who helped him move there. After dating for a long time, the couple decided to take an extended leap and got hitched in June last year. The marriage ceremony was grand and was attended by Manchester City stars Rodri and Erling Haaland.
Moreover, the couple has two children together. Their first daughter Lucay was born in 2021 and they welcomed their second daughter in May earlier this year. With a newborn at home, it isn’t certain if Botello would make it to the Euros to support her husband from the stands. Nonetheless, the 2023 treble winner will still be motivated enough to give his everything and help his team win the Euro 2024.
