Kai Havertz's & Ben White's wives Sophia & Milly show off pregnancy progress as Arsenal stars endure contrasting injury fortunes

New arrivals are on the cards off the field at Emirates Stadium. Two international stars in the Gunners’ ranks have revealed that they are preparing to become parents for the first time. Kai and Sophia Havertz announced in November 2024 that they are expecting.

White and his partner Milly, who married in 2023, shared their good news with social media followers on January 9 in a “half of you, half of me” post. Two prominent members of Mikel Arteta’s squad in north London are able to plan for parenthood together.

Their partners have also teamed up, with Sophia and Milly sharing images on Instagram of how their bumps are coming along. White has said: “Growing our minis together”. While they have plenty to smile about, their husbands have been experiencing contrasting fortunes on the injury front.

White was back on the bench for Arsenal in their 2-0 victory at Leicester, having been missing since November with a knee problem, but Germany international Havertz is set to sit out the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on a hamstring complaint picked up during a warm weather training camp in Dubai.
