In terms of handsomeness and elegance, Olivier Giroud, the 37-year-old striker currently playing for Milan, is not inferior to David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo among football stars. After all, when he was still playing for his old club Arsenal, Giroud was voted the king of Premier League stars in a poll conducted by bookmaker Paddy Power in 2015.
More specifically, bookmaker Paddy Power brought 300 players playing football in the Premier League (each club has 15 representatives including 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 strikers) to weigh their beauty through the eyes. of a jury of 250 American women. The reason Paddy Power invited 250 American women between the ages of 18 and 65 to win the Premier League title is so that the beauty factor is maximized. American women are said to not care about the Premier League, so they will vote based on their emotions about handsomeness, not based on purely professional factors.
With 73.8 points on a scale of 100, Giroud was crowned male king at that time. The French striker was awarded the Golden Mirror in recognition of his status as king. The titles of runner-up 1 and runner-up 2 belonged to defender Santiago Vergini (Sunderland, 71 points) and midfielder Matty James (Leicester, 69.8 points), respectively. That’s enough to see that Olivier Giroud’s handsomeness is not average.
At the age of 37, Olivier Giroud is a satisfied man with his wife Jennifer and 4 children: Jade (9 years old), Evan (7 years old), Aaron (5 years old) and Aria (2 years old). Giroud and Jennifer are considered a rather private couple, with a vivid example being the fact that they both held a secret wedding to the surprise of many people. Compared to her fellow WAGs, Jennifer doesn’t make any noise through money-burning shopping or getting into any scandals. It was also thanks to Jennifer that Giroud was lucky enough not to go bankrupt when he got into serious trouble in 2014 with an offensive photo in a hotel.
In February 2014, while playing for Arsenal, Olivier Giroud was featured on the front page of The Sun newspaper. Shocking is that the striker born in 1986 appeared wearing only underwear in the room at the Four Seasons Hotel (London), where Arsenal stayed right before the win over Crystal Palace on February 2, 2014. Giroud was then sharing a room not with his wife but with a model named Celia Klay. According to research, Celia was born in England but grew up in the city of Denver, Colorado (USA). Celia started her fashion modeling career very early.
With her attractive appearance, Celia has taken cover photos for many magazines such as FHM, Vogue or Sports Illustrated. Along with her work as a photo model, she also majored in finance at New York University. Celia’s dynamism is also evident when launching her own fashion products as well as opening a store in London. Due to the nature of her job, Celia often travels between Los Angeles and London, and also takes advantage of the opportunity to catch waves with handsome striker Olivier Giroud.
Only after Olivier Giroud appeared on the front page of The Sun newspaper with an offensive photo, the identity of the French striker appeared massively in many media as well as social networks in England at that time. Giroud then reacted through a post on Twitter. “I apologize to my wife, my family, the coach, my teammates and the Arsenal fans. Now I have to fight for my family and my club, to receive their forgiveness. I made a mistake but I didn’t cheat! Let everything be clear,” Giroud wrote.
While Giroud has always denied cheating on Jennifer, Celia Klay also made a statement in May 2014. “Giroud is very lovely and very sensitive but we didn’t have sex. I am so happy about that. In the end, he told the truth, I was sorry to his wife. Giroud told me about his life, he also promised me many things and we just kissed. That’s really amazing,” Celia emphasized. Even more noisy was the news that the Premier League’s male king even knelt down and asked his wife for forgiveness.
Before the scandal caused by her husband was exposed in the newspaper, his wife Jennifer acted extremely wisely and cautiously to quell the incident. After Giroud apologized, Jennifer had an attitude and gesture to protect her husband’s reputation and image. Thanks to that, Giroud was fortunate to “not dig his own grave” because of that difficult scandal. In 2016, Jennifer gave birth to another child. This is vivid evidence that the marriage between the two has returned to peace after Giroud’s previous scandal.
