Olivier Giroud's family home burglarized as LAFC star's wife Jennifer reports theft of jewelry worth $500,000

According to TMZ, the incident in question – which was reported to local police by Giroud’s wife Jennifer – took place on February 5. A window is said to have been smashed, allowing intruders to access the California-based property.

It is claimed that several expensive items were snatched during the raid, including more than 10 designer men’s watches. Jennifer Giroud informed authorities that the value of goods taken is close to half-a-million dollars.

The Los Angeles Police Department is yet to make any arrests, but an investigation has been opened. Giroud forms part of a concerning pattern of A-list burglaries in the United States, with the FBI issuing warnings after the likes of NFL superstars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow were targeted alongside NHL ace Evgeni Malkin – who saw his three Stanley Cup championship rings swiped – and NBA icon Luka Doncic.

France international Giroud, who is his country’s all-time leading goalscorer, had been enjoying a productive spell in America on the back of his 2024 move from AC Milan – with MLS Cup glory savored at the end of his debut campaign. Giroud will likely play a starring role in LAFC's first game of the new MLS season against Minnesota this weekend.
