Three children who have their birthday on the same day, pregnant support and an ESC participant as a friend: There is plenty of talk about the EM soccer stars – also off the pitch. Eight personal anecdotes.
Three children, one birthday: April 8th should definitely be the lucky day for France striker Antoine Griezmann and his wife Erika Choperena. All three of the couple’s children have birthdays on this day – but in different years. Mia was born in 2016, Amaro in 2019 and Alba in 2021. “A day we will never forget, April 8 is definitely our date,” Choperena wrote on her Instagram account on a photo of Alba’s birth a few months ago.
A Grand Prix participant: Edurne García Almagro is in a relationship with Spain’s goalkeeper David De Gea – and took part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015. With the song “Amanecer”, Almagro – model, TV presenter and singer – took part in her national language at the time. However, the result was disappointing, Spain only made it to 21st place. De Gea and Almagro are now parents of a little girl named Yanay.
Pregnant support: The Swiss national striker Haris Seferovic should also soon be in baby luck. He can count on the support of his two biggest fans for the European Football Championship. Or three. Wife Amina and the two-year-old daughter Inaya follow the national team on their sensational triumph at the EURO. Even though Seferovic’s wife is pregnant. When asked whether she needed rest, Amina Seferovic told the “Blick”: “Well, most of all in pregnancy you need what is good for you. I am a very energetic and persistent person. During the whole pandemic, were we’re practically only at home. So far we haven’t really been able to do anything with our daughter. It’s good for me to finally come out and experience something special with Inaya. “
“T” like … Thessa – or Teddy: Thessa, the friend of Manuel Locatelli, became particularly famous during this EM. After his two goals in a 3-0 win against Switzerland, Italy’s midfielder showed a “T” in the camera and then said: “The T for Thessa, my friend, and for Teddy, my dog, who unfortunately is no longer alive.” Her comment on Instagram: “Without words” with a heart smiley and “Did that really happen?”
The Miss Italia: …. was called Rachele Risaliti in 2016. The model is the girlfriend of Gaetani Castrovilli and cheered him on live in the stadium in Rome. Risaliti is not only an ex-miss and player’s wife – she has also founded her own jewelry label.
Grandma Val would be proud: In the first European Championship game against Croatia, England’s Kalvin Phillips played really well. “Grandma Val looks down with the biggest smile,” wrote former striker Ian Wright on Twitter, and many others wrote the same. Because Phillips’ grandmother, who helped raise him, has become a cult figure with her brisk and warm demeanor in a documentary about Phillips Club Leeds United. She died in February. In the game against Germany Phillips honored her by wearing the word “Granny Val” on his shoes.
Cheers in the wrong place: For Germany’s defender Mats Hummels, the EM got off to a very bad start. In the first round game against France, he promoted the ball into his own net. His three-year-old son was happy, however. “He thinks: Ball in the net is always right. It was told that he was cheering. I will probably have to teach him that,” said Hummels of the “Bild” newspaper. After leaving the DFB-Elf, the little one was also sad, as can be seen in a photo that Hummels’ wife Cathy posted on Instagram. But she also wrote, “Superfan Ludwig will cheer you on until the next title is there”.
Number two on Instagram: It is logical that most football professionals have significantly more followers on social media than their partners. However, this is much more difficult to achieve when you are in a relationship with an internationally known model. The German national goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has around 1.7 million subscribers on Instagram. However, around 4.6 million users have subscribed to his girlfriend’s account, the Brazilian model Izabel Goulart.
