An Arsenal star’s marriage has reportedly been plunged into chaos this week after his wife suddenly wiped all trace of him from social media. Needless to say, the off-field drama could hardly have come at a worse time for anyone in Mikel Arteta’s dressing room, with the Gunners now just four matches away from footballing immortality.
Having won their previous four matches - conceding just once in that run - the north Londoners sit two points clear of Manchester City and firmly in the driving seat for a first Premier League title in 22 years. They have also booked their place in the Champions League final against holders Paris Saint-Germain on May 30, where they will attempt to finally end their European hoodoo.
Arsenal’s form has peaked at exactly the right moment, giving them the chance to put years of near-misses behind them and establish themselves as one of the best teams in world football. But amid the growing hopes of glory, one star’s family life appears to have taken a troubling turn - and it involves a player who has repeatedly delivered crucial goals for his side.

Arsenal Star's 'Marriage in Chaos' as Reports Emerge
Leandro Trossard's wife
According to The Sun, Laura Hilven deleted wedding pictures and has not posted any images wearing her ring since December. The 33-year-old is married to Leandro Trossard, who has impressed enough this term to consider himself among the best wingers in the Premier League right now.
She has also removed pictures of herself with Trossard posing in Arsenal shirts at the Emirates Stadium. The pair have been married since 2019 and will have been a couple for 13 years next month. A source said: “Laura used to have loads of pictures on her Instagram showing her and Leandro on their wedding day, on holidays and going out on date nights, but she has wiped them all.
“If someone looked at her profile now, they would have no clue that they had ever been together, let alone married.”
Laura, a fellow Belgian, previously used her Instagram to showcase their happy life - regularly posting loved-up snaps of them together to her 35,000 followers. Her now-deleted posts include a snap from Leandro’s proposal in June 2018.
She has not posted a picture of herself wearing her wedding or engagement ring since December 5, when she put up a snap of her and three friends with the caption: “Christmas dinner with my ladies.” In the most recent Instagram image that shows her left hand, posted on March 2, a gold ring can be seen on her middle finger, but her wedding set is missing.
Arsenal's Biggest Game of the Season Awaits on Sunday Afternoon

The Gunners travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham on Sunday afternoon. While recent form suggests Arteta’s side should be confident of securing another win, their hosts’ relegation fears could make this a tricky hurdle in the race for Premier League glory.
In recent weeks, the Hammers have proven difficult opponents for several high-profile sides. Before their latest 3-0 defeat to high-flying Brentford, they had conceded just four goals across six league matches - a run that included a win over Everton and a 1-1 draw with Arsenal’s title rivals Man City.
After Pep Guardiola’s side claimed a 3-0 victory yesterday evening, any dropped points for Arsenal in this London derby could prove costly. That result also leaves the Cityzens just one goal behind the Gunners on goal difference.
