Cesc Fabregas will have his wife Daniella Semaan cheering him on as he returns to Arsenal this week. The Como boss faces his former club in a pre-season friendly at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Fabregas's Career and Relationship Timeline
Fabregas, 39, began his professional career at Arsenal in 2003 as a 16-year-old, spending eight years in north London before returning to boyhood club Barcelona in 2011. That same year marked the beginning of his relationship with Semaan, with the pair still going strong 15 years and three children later. The couple are parents to daughters Lia and Capri and son Leonardo. Semaan also has two older children, Maria and Joseph, from her previous marriage to Elie Taktouk.
Who is Daniella Semaan?
The Lebanese-born Semaan is a household name in her own right, with over 4.3 million followers on Instagram. She is 12 years older than her husband. The pair first met at Japanese restaurant Nozomi in Knightsbridge, where she approached his table to ask for an autograph for her son, Joseph. They dated for seven years before marrying in 2018. Among the most glamorous WAGs football has to offer, the 51-year-old has long held the label 'Queen of the WAGs'.
Luxury Lifestyle and Friendships
Semaan regularly showcases the luxurious life of a footballer's wife. Many of her Instagram posts feature stunning breaks abroad and time spent with family and friends, including Antonela Roccuzzo, wife of Lionel Messi. The pair built a close friendship during Fabregas's four-year spell at Barcelona before he returned to England in 2016 to join Chelsea. The two families would holiday together in places like Ibiza and Portofino. During Fabregas's time in Catalonia, Semaan was often spotted cruising around the city in his Ferrari.
Life in Como
She has been based in Como since 2022, after Fabregas signed for the club before ending his playing career a year later. The Spaniard was appointed interim boss that same year before being promoted to permanent status in 2024. Fabregas led Como to Champions League qualification for the first time in the club's history last season.
