French striker Olivier Giroud has been married to his wife Jennifer since 2011. However it has not always been smooth sailing, with the couple rocked by a cheating scandal in 2014.
Jennifer, mother of their four children, chose not to comment when the striker, who at the time played for Arsenal, was spotted inviting a model to his hotel room before a Premier League match. The model, Celia Kay, was pictured arriving at the Four Seasons hotel in Canary Wharf at 12:50am and leaving later that night at 3:04am.
At the time the footballer denied the allegations, but later issued an apology on Twitter to Jennifer and his club, writing: “I apologise to my wife, family and friends and my manager, team-mates and Arsenal fans.”
“I now have to fight for my family and for my club and obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters at the moment.”
Celia also told the Sun on Sunday: “Olivier knows the truth and the fact that he lied about us is pathetic.”
“He's just digging a bigger hole for himself. If he is big enough to do the crime, he's got to serve the time.”
Erika Choperena
Erika Choperena, who is married to Antoine Griezmann, keeps a low profile online and has an impressive career as a child psychologist. The pair are believed to have met in San Sebastian in Spain in 2011, when the French footballer was playing for Real Sociedad.

The model and influencer also co-owns the tattoo and piercing studio Ink Studio Lagrange. As for her impressive body art, she revealed to her followers: “I always wanted to stand out, it was a kind of a protest and reaction to a difficult relationship with my parents.
“I just wanted to draw attention to myself, well, when I did my first drawing on my skin, tattoos literally captivated me…”
