Luiz Gustavo’s wife Milene Marx just had their son. On a few Brazilian news sites, Luiz said he’d been really looking forward to the baby and wouldn’t comment on what his name would be until after the birth. Milene flew from Germany, where they live because Luiz plays for Wolfsburg, to Brazil. They wanted their son to be a Brazilian citizen. I’m thinking he may get dual citizenship this way, but I’m not sure exactly…
Soccer Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
There’s been a lot of posts up on PlayerWives about American soccer players recently, so it’s time to hear about a soccer player and his girlfriend who is not American, not on the US team, and who’s somewhere around 80 times more talented than any American player. That player is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. Neymar’s girlfriend Gabriella Lenzi is a beautiful woman and a famous model in Brazil. She’s famous for doing gymnastics and…
Peter Crouch’s wife Abbey Clancy is the impossibly skinny celebrity dance champion on the show Strictly Come Dancing. I don’t even know what that title is supposed to mean, but there you go- she dances on TV, and she looks really unhealthy. She was also a lingerie and catwalk model, says her Wikipedia. We all know how skilled you gotta’ be to stand or lay in front of a camera wearing underwear. It’s not a…
Da Beaz-Man. Damarcus Beasley’s girlfriend is so far unknown, but he does have a long history of playing the field, and not just the soccer field. About 8 years ago, an article talking about Beasley’s move to PSV Eindhoven, which is a team in The Netherlands, mentioned that he had a girlfriend that came over to visit him a couple of times because he was lonely. Well, she’s long gone and DaMarcus has allegedly been…
Michael Bradley’s wife Amanda Bradley was a talented tennis player for Rhode Island University, where she graduated as a bit of a ace. She always put up good numbers, frequently with fairly dominant win percentages. This is a fairly well-documented couple on YouTube, as it turns out. Specifically, there is a video interview from their days in Italy, when Michael was playing for Chievo and Roma. That’s basically the story of the two– traveling from…
Here we have international soccer’s version of the cheap-shot artist. Jermaine does seem like a decent guy in interviews, but he’s known far and wide for being one of the dirtiest players in professional soccer. Jermaine Jones’ wife Sarah Gerth Jones dresses him up off the field. She was the former Miss Germany! She appears somewhat plastic and unhappy in most of her current photos, but it could be that she gets overly self-conscious from…
Ladies and gentlemen (but mostly people that have too much time on their hands), Matt Besler’s wife Amanda Besler is one of the most well-documented MLS wives in American history. A Kansas City website called “Ink” put together a full article specifically about the events both leading up to and during their wedding. Let me tell you, if you’re expecting to be blown away by white-knuckle journalism……..well, it’s basically the opposite of that. Ace reporter…
