As English players prepare to bring the European silverware home, their partners will surely be in attendance to cheer them on. Newcastle United vice-captain Kieran Tripper booked his berth in Gareth Southgate’s squad this summer despite a rough campaign with his club. While Kieran might have had an off-season, he has a firm shoulder to rely on with his wife Charlotte Tripper always standing by him in tough situations.

Things got out of hand for Kieran Trippier this season as he got into a heated argument with a Newcastle supporter after the team’s loss to Bournemouth. The defender was unhappy with the fan as he lashed out at him claiming the fans need to understand players are humans too.

Kieran wanted the fans to understand that Newcastle was dealing with injuries with some of their main players out. Charlotte addressed the situation on her social media after she received multiple messages regarding Trippier’s spat with the fan.
