Sophia, the wife of Arsenal attacker Kai Havertz, has revealed that she received threats regarding their unborn child on social media after Arsenal's defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Sophia shared some of the threatening messages she received on her Instagram page.

Speaking on the incident, Havertz's wife expressed shock at the messages and admonished those responsible to stop.

"For anyone to think it's okay to write something like this is shocking to me. I hope you are ashamed of yourself. I'm not sure what to say, but please, guys, be more respectful. We are better than this," she said.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta condemned the act and emphasized the need for action against the culprits to deter others.

"Honestly, we really have to do something about it. Accepting and hiding this has terrible consequences. We need to eradicate this from the game because it is so cynical.

"When we play each week, and Kai Havertz scores a goal, the whole stadium sings his name. That was just 20 days ago, so what's the perspective? We are all responsible, and that includes everyone," he said.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have reported the incident to the police, who are working with a specialist data firm to identify the culprit and take appropriate action.

The couple have been together since 2018 and got married in 2024, with the pregnancy announcement made in November 2024.

The threats came after Havertz missed a penalty in Arsenal's defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup which led to their elimination from the competition.
