    As the news of Abdo's marriage to Scott spread, fans couldn't help but reference an ongoing joke involving Henry, who serves as a pundit on CBS Sports' Champions League show next to Abdo. The duo's dynamic chemistry and playful interactions have led fans to speculate about Henry having a soft spot for the Manchester-born presenter. While there is no basis for these rumours, the light-hearted exchanges between the two and their natural camaraderie have been a highlight of their Champions League broadcasts.

  • WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    Social media was abuzz with comments poking fun at Henry after the marriage, with one user, @a_abbkr writing: "Somebody check up on Henry 👀👀."

    While @MDixon_1 wrote: "Does anyone object to this marriage? Jamie Carragher staring at Thierry Henry:" The post included the famous meme of former WWE star Kurt Angle looking into a camera intensely.

    Elsewhere, @UTDCJ, tweeted "thierry henry right now", with an image of Henry's face imposed onto Ross' face from the hit TV sitcom 'Friends'.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Despite the jokes and fan speculation, Henry has always maintained a respectful and professional relationship with Abdo. Their on-screen partnership is a major draw for CBS Sports and they will be back on TV screens when the 2024-25 edition of the Champions League kicks off next week, with Carragher and Micah Richards also set to be back on the panel.
