Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has found himself in the headlines after reports emerged that his fiancée, Catherine Harding, confronted a woman late at night over alleged past meetings with the player.
According toThe Sun, Harding, a singer engaged to the 33-year-old footballer since December 2023, visited Vanessa Sandora’s house at 11:30pm to discuss the matter. The incident reportedly stemmed from claims by Sandora’s ex-boyfriend, who allegedly informed Harding about previous interactions between Sandora and Jorginho.
Sandora, who says she met the Arsenal star three times several years ago, described the confrontation. “I was terrified about who was knocking on my door so late at night,” she told the outlet. “Using my Ring doorbell, I saw a woman I didn’t know saying, ‘I’m Jorginho’s fiancée. Can you let me in?”

Harding had reportedly obtained Sandora’s address and phone number through her ex-boyfriend. Sandora initially ignored Harding’s calls but eventually allowed her inside. “I felt she deserved the facts, so I gave them to her,” Sandora said. “I’m not interested in her bloke, and I’m not into football. I thought deleting Jorginho from social media in 2022 was the end of it. I’ve moved on and focused on my life and business.”
Sandora further claimed that Harding has continued to message her since the meeting. “She needs to move on and leave me out of her life,” she added.

While the off-field drama unfolds, Arsenal delivered a stellar performance on the pitch, securing a dominant 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday. Goals from Gabriel Jesus (2), Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and substitute Declan Rice ended a run of two frustrating draws against Fulham and Everton.
Jorginho, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in 2023 and has made 66 appearances for the Gunners, has not commented on the reports. He previously appeared alongside Harding in the Amazon Prime series Married to the Game.
Neither Jorginho nor Harding has made a public statement regarding the incident.
