Half a year ago, the engagement of this beautiful couple made not only the football world stir but also the European showbiz world equally bustling. The two first met at the end of 2021, went public with their relationship just a few months later and then suddenly announced their engagement in September 2022.
It has also been a difficult time for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who remains the world's most expensive goalkeeper after joining Chelsea in 2018 for £71m.
Under coach Thomas Tuchel, Kepa was rarely used when his Senegalese colleague Edouard Mendy played so brilliantly on the main fronts. Combined with the previous heated confrontation with coach Maurizio Sarri, Kepa was considered a "special element" at the London team.

In the 2022-2023 season, Edouard Mendy often had to recover from injuries, so Kepa returned to the starting position in Chelsea's goal in most tournaments. His performance is still as impressive as before and Kepa is confident of regaining the No. 1 position through the "dynasties" of coaches Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard (interim) and will continue to create trust with new coach Mauricio Pochettino.

After the engagement, Andrea Martinez moved to London with Kepa. The "Queen of Spain" just celebrated her 30th birthday on June 23. She graduated with a degree in Business Communications and won the Miss Universe Spain 2020 pageant. Andrea played basketball as a youngster and was selected for the Spain U15 basketball team in 2006, winning three major championships. Andrea is currently pursuing a modeling career.

At the wedding held in the tourist city of Marbella in his native Spain, alongside the couple's relatives were Kepa's Chelsea teammates Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic. His former teammate who now plays for Arsenal, Jorginho, also attended Kepa's wedding alongside another of Kepa's teammates in the Spanish national team, Alvaro Morata. Morata spent about half of the 2018-2019 season alongside Kepa in the "The Blues" shirt.

If the above teammates have all left, then right after the wedding, Kepa will return to Chelsea, showing his future commitment to the West London team by quickly taking back the number 1 shirt and trusting the new head coach Mauricio Pochettino. One of Pochettino's associates, goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez, has a close relationship with Kepa.
