When Germany plays Switzerland at the Euro 2024 later today, fans will be in awe of Kai Havertz. The standout from Arsenal will play for the group.
When he reportedly consented to a massive £65 million transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal last summer, it made headlines. When a photo of the 25-year-old German player donning the Gunners’ uniform went viral, news of his transfer to Arsenal broke too soon.
Not only are spectators intrigued by Kai’s football skills as he prepares for the match at Frankfurt Arena, but they are also drawn to his fiancée, Sophia Weber. Kai has been open about their lives together, even in the tough times. We live for football, he informed her. Naturally, losing a game does not make things easy.
In the previous few weeks and months, both my partner and I have experienced some difficult times, she admitted. I think she’s happy now, and I am too. Knowing how supporters feel, Kai remarked, “For you guys, it’s the same if you have a bad day at work… you.” You don’t feel well, and I won’t say it. “Playing football puts a lot of pressure on us.”
Beyond being Kai’s partner, Sophia is well-known for other reasons. As a model and influencer, she has amassed over 400,000 social media followers. The childhood sweethearts’ bond deepened in 2018, and in July 2023, they made their engagement public on Instagram with a heartfelt message.
Kai told The Guardian last year that his work is quite unpredictable, saying, “Everything moves quickly; the last few months are a good example.” My poor play and lack of scoring have made everyone angry with me. They have to pitch me on this, that, and other horrible things. I’ve scored, and everyone says I’m the best player.
“People may not like me in two weeks, but they might love me now.” No matter how good I played, she expects me to load the dishes when I get home. Kai’s biggest admirer, Sophia, is still present in the stands. Attendees at the games are accustomed to seeing her.
