Sunshine break over Euro 2024! Arsenal star Ben White jets off with model wife Milly after ruling himself out of contention for England duty

Rather than head for Germany with the Three Lions this summer, the Gunners defender is favouring blue skies, clear seas and palm trees. He is relaxing with his model partner in the sunshine, with football seemingly the last thing on his mind.

White, who tied the knot with Milly in May 2023, has earned four senior caps for his country. The last of those came in 2022, with the decision taken to leave England’s squad at the World Cup finals in Qatar that year for personal reasons.

In March 2024, Gareth Southgate revealed that White had requested not to be considered for international selection. That remains the case heading into another major tournament, with Milly posting pictures on Instagram of the couple being otherwise engaged.

With no competitive football to contend with, White should be fresh when returning to north London for pre-season training. He will expect to play a leading role in Mikel Arteta’s plans in 2024-25 as Arsenal seek to go one better than their runners-up finishes in the last two campaigns.
